A NEW DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL
4t..ss WEALTH..

Under the above caption the New York
Daily Bulletin, groups together the following
interesting statements in reference to the
mineral wealth Of the region OF country pen
etrated by the Chesapeake 4 Ohio Railroad
and the grand future that awaits Virginia on
the completion Of this important link in the
great continental chain Of Railroads, spanning
the country from ocean to ocean:
During the past two years a great work
has been going on toward completion, with
that steady aud vigorous. but quiet ,eactivity
which denotes earnestness and foretells sue
cess. And while most people who take any
note of what is going on around them have
seen the tokens of its presence and the evil
dsnce Of its progress, very few have formed
any conception of the magnitude and impor-
lance of the results which wait upon its con-
summation. The discovery of a new domain
Of mineral wealth, equal in extent and rich
ness to the islands of Great Britain, rising
out of the seas, close TO our shores and with
in our national jurisd elton, would fill the
national mind with interest and excitement.
A fact, similar in Importance and in future
results, is being actually wrought out in the
opening Of the great Kanawha Valley Of
West Virginia. with its wonderful deposits Of
coal, and the neighboring region of unrivaled
iron ores, by the extension THE Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river.
The great natural advantages Of the resion
traversed by the western half of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, now nearly camp.e-
ted, and its incalculable riches in coal, iron,
SALT timber, etc, have been long known and
appreciated, and tho restless fingers Of Amer
lean enterprise have been itching to get at
them for years; but the absence Of railroad
facilities has rendered the extensive and prof
table development, which they now invite,
hitherto impracticable Messrs Daddow &
Bannan, in their important work, entitled
Goal, Iron and Oil, refer to it ia the fol-
lowing terms
In no portion Of our country, North or South
are there inviting prospects to labor, enter
prise and capital than are now presented in the
great Kanawha Valley. Not only its unlimited
mineral resources invite attention, but the best
portion of the trade of the great Mississippi Val
lev may be diverted into the channel of the Kan
awha by ordinary means. 70 those who have OBJ
served the prodigious growth of that trade and
the still superior proportions it must assume
in the future, the questions we are discussing Of
this new route to the East will not be q matter Of
speculation bat Of necessity The routes now
provided will not accommodate it, while the supe
rior advantages offered by this route in the hands
of o free and enterprising people cannot fail to
attract attention. 9a ta- SIG
