WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 12.-The
presence of auriferous metals in Virginia,
the neighborhood of the Potomac, Kappa
hammock and other streams, as we'll as at
the foot of the hills of the Blue Ridge, has
long been known, but the location of a
permanent quartz mine or reef has not
been thoroughly demonstrated until lately.
For year past parties of experience have
been engaged in developing a mine near
Kelly's Ford, five miles from Rappahan-
mock Station, in the neighborhood of well
known placer deposits. They have found
a series of well defined goId-bearing veins,
located in a mound three-quarters of a
mile from the river. The surface rock is
of decomposed quartz and bears strict re-
semblance to that taken out of the richest
districts of California. A shaft eighty feet
deep cuts three veins at depths of fifteen,
fOrty-five and seventy-five feet, yielding
rock worth from sixty to one hundred dol
lars per ton. The deposit seems to be a
basin of veins showing free gold with oar
Donates.
