Railroad and Mining Prospects Of Wiz

tion now rolling southward; and at this
time, her material prospects are fast bright

a large percentage of the passenger travel on
her railroad trains as being composed Of in
coming settlers and those who are prospect
ing over the country with view to pur-
chase Her large land holders have reversed
the old policy, aud are now willing, and
even anxious, to sell their estates in small
or large tracts, and are extending cordial
welcome to the immigrant, whether from
the Northern States or from Europe.
Thousands of acres of the best agricultural
lands on the continent are daily changing
hands, and the territory of Virginia is fast
| filling up with an Industrious and thrifty
class of yeomen.
The mineral wealth OF Virginia, although
known as far back as tho Revolution, is just
beginning to be appreciated. The iron
workers of Pennsylvania, whose ore-beds
are every year becoming more expensive to
work. have been securing large tracts OF
valuable iron-bearing lands, in the region
between the Blue Ridge and the GreenbrieI
river. There is an area of 200 miles 10 width
by 100 in length, through the middle Of
which passes the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail.

to supply the United States for the next
