The recent improved condition of the British
iron trade is largely influenced by schemes for
insuring the building of the Canadian Pacific
railway and various extensive lines in Austria
liza, Turkey, New Zealand, Tasmania, Africa,
India, and South America. 1t is well for the
British iron trade that these schemes have
been undertaken, as there is no probability
that the requirements from the United States
will this year approach those of last year.
There will be a large demand here for iron
and steel, it is true, but our manufacturers are
better prepared to meet it, and besides they have
learned not to let prices go so high as to invite
foreign competition. To combine two popul-
lar phrases, they want no more "boom" in
theirs "-Ameascan Manufacturer.

The 1abors of the factotum editors OF the
last Spectator, to break the proofs Of the VIR-
GINIAN to the substantial accuracy OF its
report of Gov. Hampton's speech, have re-
suited in ''much ado about nothing" The
fact remains that the only two gent lemen
who were present for the purpose Of taking
notes substantiate the verify OF our re-
port. They stand as high in this commu-
nifty as any other gentlemen in it, and their
evidence is unimpeached and unimpeach-
able. All the twisting and squirming anu
hair-splitting constructions and differences do
not change the status of the case. The catch
penny arts of the shyster cannot invalidate
or weaken such testimony, and it will stand
mistaken by any such hypercritical verbal
criticism as that which has been offered.
1t would be supposed, to hear the high
sounding and furious denunciation which
has been leveled at the VIRGINIAN, that we
had charged Gen. Hampton with move to
enlist brigade for another war, and that
we had created the impression that "seces-
sion'' was on the eve of being consummated
from some cause. or in some form or an
other. Those who have read the VIRGINIAN
will bear us out, that we have given no 9TH
er Interpretation to his speech than that it
was in effect a re-assertion Of the doctrine OF
State sovereignty. This we still believe it
to be, and so believing have chosen to dis
cuss the question fairly and calmly, and
| warn the people against the pernicious doc
| trine.

The Shenandoah Valley Road.

We see it stated that the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad viii be in running order by the 1st
of October, from Waynesboro' to Port Repub-
lie. In the meantime track laying is progress
ing South from the other end of the line, and
by the list of January, at furtherest it is be-
lieved, the cars will run over the entire road,
connecting at Hagerstown with the Cumber-
land Valley Road. This will, when completed,
be one of the mostinportantroads constructed
in Virginia. The rich mineral and agricultu-
raj region through which it will pass, and
which has heretofore been isolated, will be
accommodated and rapidly developed, opening
up to capital and enterprise splendid vein OF
country. The work has been going on SO quiz
city, that few really know what has been done,
and before many think about it they will learn
of the cars traversing the eastern portion OF
the country from North to South, furnishing
an opening to market to one of the most pro-
life portions of the State.

A POWERFUL GUN.-George L. King
sley, one of the crack shots of California,
made somewhat remarkable shot yes.
terday afternoon. The circumstances
which led to the trial of skill, the pene-
trative power of ball and the force of
Mr.. Kingsley's l,000-yard target rife
were these: 1t seems that Mr.. Kingsley
made the assertion that he could shoot
ball through quarter inch plate of boiler
iron. Major John Brady heard of the
remark, and told Mr.. Kingsley, after
some bantering, that he would bet him
$25 the feat could not be accomplished.
Thereupon the coin was put up in the
hands Of third party, and the bet was
closed. The Major, true to his pluck,
and in order to further back up his
opinion, gave H. Kraft five dollars for .
piece of boiler iron about four feet square
and of the required thickness, and the
arrangements were Immediately made to
settle the dispute. The matter soon
spread over the town, and in less than an
hour the contestants and their friends,
followed by large crowd, repaired to
the East Side. The distance to be shot
was 30 PAGES. The iron was placed in
position in open ground, the distance
stepped off and Mr.. Kingsley took his
stand, raised his trusty rifle and at the
crack of the gun the sand at the back
side Of the iron plate flew up the ball
having passed through, making hole in
the iron slab large enough to run mans
thumb through. The Major examined
the hole made and then remarked to Mr.
Kingsley: "Kingsley, you have won the
money, old fellow. I think you're the
best shot in the State, and if there's an
other war I want you on my side; yor
are good for whole regiment any day:
The crowd returned to town highly
delighted with the hours sport: Thu

Rocky Mountain Mining Review:
Every man who fancies he can distin.
guish ore from porphyry who goes to New
York, Immediately sets up for mining
expert. He has himself interviewed by
the mining papers and talks knowingly of
shafts and wines and slopes and hosting
works and stamps and amalgamating
pans and formations and lodes and veins
and seams and faults, and manages to
make the interviewer think him the man
who built the Comstock lode. Some of
these experts talk as if they could put
ore in barren mine, or make granite
boulder assay ten thousand dollars a ton.
There are mining men in the East who
know a mine when they see it; but the
majority of the self-constituted experts
now spreading themselves in Eastern
cities are frauds.

INDIANS IN NEVADA.

The Reno Gazette has the following
relative to.shs Iiiaiaa reservations in this
State: III,
There are about 6,OOO Indians in Ne.
vada. Of these near $500 have more or
less provision made for them through
agent Spencer.
PYRAMID RESERVATION.
Pyramid reservation claims $4,000
acres of land, mostly covered by Pyra.
mid Lake. Of this amount some 5000
acres can be titled by irrigation. At
present the Government farms about so
acres, the Indians nearly 200 acres. The
agent has commenced a large ditch,
whereby the total amount of arabic land
may be brought under cultivation. A
little over two miles of this ditch have
been dug. The lumber for the Aume
boxes is at Wadsworth, and the reserve
saw mill will at once saw the supports
and sills out of cotton. wood, which
grows in abundance on the reservation.
There are from $50 to 500 Indians on
this reservation, although about 1000
claim it as their headquarters. Maj. w.
Fl. Wasson, the new clerk, was formerly
Indian agent in Dakota. M. S. Began is
farmer; Miss Aggie Spencer, teacher;
and DR.. F. r. Wagner, physician. The
doctor attends to his sick Government
wards and practices in Wadsworth. He
is an excellent physician and Christian
gentleman. Agent Spencer is man of
culture, great energy, and thoroughly in
harmony with the Government policy of
caring for the Indians. i saw on every
hand the evidence Of good management,
and believe that this part of the Govern.
ment service in Nevada will receive in.
telligent and honest administration.
WALKER RIVER RESERVATION.
Ninety miles south, and we came to
the Walker River reservation. This
reserve embraces 3lS,Sl5 acres, 1000 Of
which, is said can be cultivated. Louis
Brewer is the farmer there and is the
right man for that post. An extension
of the V. l. T. R. r. will run across some
twenty miles of this reserve. but not to
the detriment of the latter. The Indians
asked free transportation of their market
produce to the nearest market, $3.50 cash
down, and free transportation of Gov
ernment freight over that line. Mr.
Yerington at once accepted their PROPOSE
tion, and it now remains for the Secretary
of the Interior or other high authority t.
give final assent. A large quantity o
hay and grain are raised at this reserve.
THE MoAPA RESERVATION.
In the southern part of this State, 65t
miles from Pyramid, lies the Moap'
reservation. It comprises 1000 acres o
tillable land. w. R. Bradfute is tn,
farmer. Not a great deal Of farm pro
duce is raised at Moapa, as the outsid
stock eat up what the Indians raise, tn
farms not being fenced. New life ha
been infused into Moapa and bette
report will come in next year.
