GoLD.-On last Friday Robert Gar
rett, vice president Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, Felix, Agous,
manager of the Baltimore American ;
and several other prominent business
men of Baltimore, arrived at Rock
vile on private car and proceeded
to the Gold Mines in carriages. The
rumor is that if the mineral right OF
the Stone property can De procured
a new company will be organized for
the purpose of operating thereupon,
1t is said that the VEN in the Mont
gomery Mines extend through this
property. Several offers lave been
made for the mineral right, but none
accepted. The highest offer made
was $500. The operations at the
Montgomery Mines established the
fact that gold does exist in our county,
and in largely paying quantities.

The Gazette has on several occasions
called attention to the remarkable de-
velopment of the coal and iron wealth
of Virginia which has recently set in.
The activity not only continues, but in
creases, and with the return of a
healthier sentiment among the people
on the question of the State debt, we
may expect capital to flow into these
section of the old Commonwealth in
an abundant stream. Virginia is de-
clared to be richer in iron ore than
even Pennsylvania, and the day is not
far distant when she will find herself a
great industrial power. Attention has
also been directed of late to the de-
posts of gold found in a belt of coun-
try crossing the counties of Culpepor,
Stafford, Orange, Spottsylvania, Lou
lisa and Goochland. A continuous
series OF mines are now IN operation,
or being put in operation, in this Sec
ton of the State, and gold in paying
quantities has also recently been found
in Montgomery and other counties
west Of the western set of veins. A
correspondent of the Chicago Mining
ReviesO, writing from Mine Run,
Orange county, states that he has
talked with many experienced miners
from the West, and all agree that the
belt is zone of the most interesting and
promising they have ever seen. Bal

Curing Fruit by l
Mountain Cali Messenger.J

Mountain Call MesseE ger.
An experiment was made at a
foundry in Placerville lately in fruit
curing by blasts Of cold air. In this
experiment about a peck of sliced
apples were placed in a sieve and sub
jected to a cold air blast for three and
a half hours in the cupola furnace of
the foundry, and the fruit is reported
to have been completely and beauti-
fully cured by the treatment, remain
ing soft, and without the slightest dis
celebration. We were about to say
dried, but cured is a better word, for
there was none of that hard, harsh,
stiff dryness aboutit which frequently
results BY drying by sun heat or fire
heat. The experiment was a most
gratifying success, and, in our iudg-
ment, is fraught with results of great
importance to growers and manipula-
tors of fruit. The blast of cold air
completely freezes the fruit from its
excess of moisture, with no possibility
Of burning or shriveling it. Compared
with our sur drying it effects a great
saving of expense, attention and risk.
Anybody who can command or devise
a strong blast Of cold air can dry fruit
in a su%perior-we might say, perfect
manner, without being dependent on
the weather and waiting on the slow
process of sun drying, and withoutthC
most expensive resort to fuel and the
risk of overheating.

Can a Caterpillar Reason2
New Haven Palladium

New Haven Palladium.
A caterpillar was recently found on
a Bridgeport window.si sill by a servant,
and by her was carefully placed up the
area wall where it would be out of
danger. A day or so later the lady of
the house saw the caterpillar on the
door-sill, and it was again placed on
the wall for safety. This was repeated
several times, the caterpillar finding
its way to the door.sill every time.
Finally the lady procured a box, the
end Of whichwa left open, and placed
the caterpillar in it. The caterpillar
seemed to know his home, for on sew
eral occasions when the lady removed
it from the box and placed it some
distance away, it would hastily crawl
back and enter its old quarters.
When the weather is very cold the
box is taken into the house. The
caterpillar has acted ever since il
was found as though it knew it had
fallen among friends, and as though
its conduct was governed by reason.
