Dewey, Thos. Maslin and c. III. Bell
MIR. Sweeney was appointed Chairman
and Mr.. Dewey Secretary.
With view to thorough State or
gauization, the following resolution was
n lopted:
Resolced, Thatlocai boards to consist
of three persons be appointed in each
county in the State, who shall be re-
quested to cause such specimens of the
minerals. woods. cereals, manufactures
and products found In their several coun-
ties, together with such full information
as will enable the State Board of Cen
tennial Managers to classify and arrange
them for exhibition, giving also infor-
nation as TO topography, climate, facili
ties for transportation, prices OF lands,
and such other matters as will further
the grand object in view. viz: n proper
display Of the resources and industries
of the State in 1876.
The committee will prepare n circular
letter setting forth the objects to be at
tanned by q full representation Of the
States interest at the coming Centen.
NAL.
The afternoon session was spent in
the selection of gentlemen for local COM
mittee in the different counties who will
cooperate with the u. =. Commissioner
We had the pleasure Of examining
three specimens ofron ore brought from
Hardy county by Mr.. Maslin. or these
specimens. two were brown and red
llemctite, the former said to be Of fossil
origin, yielding under analysis Go per
cent. ofiron. The vein is fourteen feet
thick and Of unknown extent. The red
lIemetite yielded 80 per cent. and the
vein 10 20 feet thick Of solid ore. The
other specimen is Red Oxide and anali-
zed GO per cent; Of this. three veins
have been opened, one of which is 80
inches thick, one "a inches and one IL
inches thick. These veins, besides 9th.
ers not examined analyticaly, are all
found in one mountain, situated about
40 miles from the Is. & O. X. II.
Mr.. Masln had also with him a geo
logical map Of the coal field recently
surveyed in Grant county, adjoiningan q
formerly part ofIIardy county. This
map shows six veins Of coal. Of feet. 5
feet 10 inches. 3 feet inches, 4 feet, 8
feet and \ feet 4 inches respectively.
{. II. Bell also spoke of n vein Of IL.
Telegraph stone recently found in Brooke
county which il said to be Of excellent
quality, One or the Grant county veins
Of coal Is said TO be unsurpassed FOR gas
