though it was elected by force pump
from below. The column is about the
the size of a lady's finger and it rises
perpendicularly about eight feet from the
surface, falling uniformly around the up
ward stream like fountain. The hole
In the rock from which it energies is
round and smooth as though it had been
made with a drill. The unseen power
which forces the water up makes a puff
ing noise like a steam engine which can
be heard hundred yards away. The
water is nearly boiling hot and is strongly
impregnated with sulpur.
Virginia Enterprise: w. H. Smith
yesterday morning returned from trip
to the eastern part Of the State. He
brings back some splendid looking smelt-
ing ore. 1t is from what is known as the
WEIGH and LIE Bow mine, Ellsworth.
He had no assays yet, but it is thought
the ore will go somewhere between $500
and $500 per ton. Mr.. Smith first went
out to Ned Stokes mine, the Victorine,
at Kingston Canyon. He found that a
vein of excellent ore about two and half
feet in width had been struck and was
being prospected in the Victorine. Stokes
has gone to London, England, probably
with view to disposing of this mine.
Mr.. Smith visited Austin and lone, and
found good deal of work being done
and the people in good spirits everywhere.
He thinks the WEIGH and LIE Bow mine
at Ellsworth about the best prospect he
saw. It was near this that the Downeys
took out $780, 900 in short time few
years ago.
