Letter From Rock Enon Springs.

ENON SfNtNGS, June lS, 1871,
More than hundred years ago, whom the
Indians were hostile to the white settlers, Rock
Enon springs were discovered To protect the
whites the Government built fort on the east
side Of Great North mountain, and when dan
ger threatened the inhabitants about High
Wow or Timber Ridge, the long distance
around the mountain induced Mr.. Capper, the
grandfather of Mr.. Michael Capper, Of Win
chester, (now ninety years Of agc,) to cut q
path across the mountain, and In this slow and
dangerous undertaking he discovered what is
now known as Walnut or Alkali spring. He
drank from it, and found its effect immediate
and unmistakable. After accomplishing his
difficult work he returned and told his neigh
bors of the wonderful effects of this spring. and
II soon became known and used as remedial
agent. People about this part of Virginia
came in large numbers building cabins for the
summer, and us the Indians moved towards
