WEST VIRGINIA MINERALS,
BuyrALo, WEST Va, 1879.

BUgEALo, WEST NAr 1913
Prior to my visit to the "lrontOn Fur
mace District" Ohio, the coming week, |
address you briefly, stating the results of
my visit to the bills Of Putnam county,
West Virginia, during the past and former
weeks. take great pleasure in stating
that they meet my ideas most satisfactorily
in every respect
My visit was occasioncd simply to salts.
fy my opinion as to the mineral resources
of the locality, having heard discussions as
to the truth of the existence of the same,
From notes taken from arguments, and
my own observation, | beg to state the fol-,
lowing 10 regard to Putnam county. Re-
cent Investigations Of the mineral rcsour'
ceS Of Putnam county, have in n degree,
turned the opinions of parties in the north
aud East, whose intention it seems is to
till tue minds of not few with apprehen.
sion and alarm. The West Virginia Geo.
logical Reports Of the past few years seem
to have been made up entirely for the ben
eft of the Chesapeake aud Ohio Railroad
Company, aud property bordering thereon.
What the Reports state in rchtioa to the
immense mineral deposits along the route
is very true, but it is my desire to write
and state in behalf of a district that has
been neglected, whose minerals are as
abundant and rich in quality (and likely
supcrior) as any in the State, The sup.
ply Of iron, as well as Of all materials nc.
cessary for its production, is unlimited and
ncxhaustibc. Brown and red hematitc
iron ore is deposited to an immense extent,
yielding from SO to 10 per cent, metallic
iron; also black kidney ore, yielding 81
to 90 per cent metal, These ores are Of
au exceedingly fuc quality, aud will pro.
duce iron Of the very best character Flu
cl is abundant, it being mined and produ
ced on The premises entirely. Limestone
is found in vast quantities, and of a very
rich quality Flux is abundant Other
raw materials required for the iron manu-.
facturer, such as dre,clay and fire stone,
are very plentiful Iu all cases so far in
my explorations | fnd the ores always
near the surface, aud 10 many instances a
large amouutof out,croppiog edges, con
scqueotIy rendering the expense Of mining
comparatively EiaiDg. The immense
quantity of iron ore which exists, places
this district upon an equal footing with any
other point in the State, and may safely
say, will be greater iron center, it being
facilitated by good river transportation the
year round to all points on the Ohio, Mis-
siSsippi aud other rivers in the West,
North, aud South.
What this State most needs to develop
its great mineral wealth, is thorough
State Geologicnl Survey, using the cclc.
brated Diamond Pointed Drill" to disco
ver the deep deposits. In such an in.
stance it would undoubtedly bring to light
many other minerals than are at present
known to exist, to say nothing of the great
developments of deposits Of irou aud coal,
which without doubt exist in wOndrous
quantities. II P, JR
