M oCKBRIDGE ALUM SPRINGS, VA, FOR
n SALE.-By a decree, in chancery, Of
the Circuit Court of Augusta county, pronounced
on the aOth day of June, 1868, this splendid pro :
perry must be sold for partition: and the under
signed Commissioners appointed by the Court
will offer the entire property at public auction
on the premises, on Tuesday, the LIST of SEPT'K
next. It is not extravagant to say that in fnan-
place in Virginia. IN 1S48 it sold for twelve
thousand dollars in 1851 for one hundred thous-
and; and in 1852 to the present owners, for one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars (gold value.l
Since which time it has been considerably more
than doubled In Hotel and Cottage capacity for
accommodating the public, greatly embelished
and beautifed in its grounds and buildings. and
especially very largely advanced in its fame and
reputation as most remarkable therapeutic
agent.
But notwithstanding the continual enlargement
of the place, by buildings, year by year, there
never was watering season before the war in
which the accommodations were equal to the pop
ular demand for room. Since the war the estab-
lishment has been reftted with new furniture
throughout, painted anew, and in general res
tored to complete working order, and the pros
peet now is that this watering season will be as
thronged, Us fashionable and rs prosperous as
any of its predecessors.
One constant SOURCE Gf EeFenue in this property
is found in the sale of the mineral water, and Of
the 'tmass" or salts produced from the water.E
This is only in its infancy as an enterprise, and
yet-with the South broken down-its only field
before the war, the sales in the last two years
have run up to an average of mlre fhaa
seven tAonsapa dollars per apns.a, with con-
stantly growing demand in the North and
South
The landed estate consists of about l.1OG
-. d. ~ q

personal property consists of all furniture and
other property necessary foE the complete outfit
of a frst-cla Watering place, with capacity
for the accommodation of one thousand visitors
and all necessary farming stock and implements

So fine an opportunity at once for the safe in,
yestment of capital and for the employment of en-

unquestionably one of the most valuable Mineral
Springs in this country, is very rarely offered to
the public at large.
