MONITOR D1srRIcr.-W. 8. Bousfleld,
the we'll known assayer at Virginia,
returned evening before last from n
visit to Monitor District, which lies
some 30 miles to the southwark Of
here. It is not a newly discovered
district by any means, but 1t Is n OF
the undeVeloped ones, which, although
known to contain numerous valuable
lodges and deposits Of silver, gold and
copper ore, and other minerals, has
been allowed to subside Into obscurity
In the rush after more prominent yet
perhaps not more valuable discoveries.
Monitor, however, Is now beginning
to look up sgain, and Its true merits
are being developed. Mr.. Bousfield
thinks there are four or five hundred
men working In the district, mostly
prospecting, and opening out the
lodges and mines. There are no mills
there az yet, but some are building or
about to be built, therefore none OF the
ore Is reduced there, but transported
elsewhere and sold. Some Of the silver
ore Yields over 800 to the ton, and
assays run as high as $500. Bous-
field brought in some rich specimens
OF the various ores and minerals,
among them being some very rich
samples Of copper from q lead recently
discovered. This lead Is some three
feet In width, md dips eastward
at an angle Of forty degrees.
The most singular circumstance con-
nected with Il, however, consists In a
LAYER of pure sulphur, seven or eight
inches thick, everything 1t or forming
its hanging wall. The specimens Of
this sulphur brought In BY Mr.. Bous-
field are the purest we have yet seen
in this State, being chrystalized and
nearly or quite as pure as what - solo
mt the drug stores. Monitor District
will come out all right yet.
LARGE DAM AND MILL.-The En-
terpriss Is indebted to Mr.. Abe Edg-
iugton, under whose superintendence
the work Is being done, for the follow
