STANTON, Va, May 8i.--At the openins
OF the Mining Institute this morning Pro
lessor Egglestop read paper on "The orr
Knob Copper Process" The mines Of the
ore Knob Company are In North Carolina
The ore consists OF pbrrlotine mixed with
cbalcopyrtes and quartz ia variable pro.
portions. An interesting account OF the
process OF reducing the ore was given.
In connection with this subject Professor
Ege'eston delivered an entertaining treatise
on the properties and uses OF copper and
approved method OF production. He be.
IIeyed that great wealth In copper lay dor.
mant In the South, which, II properly
worked, would be superior OF lake copper.
Major Hotchkiss, Of Virginia, thanked
Professor EggIeston for drawing attention
to the copper deposits in the South. Very
few persons are aware OF the great wealth
| in this mineral with which this State
abounds. Forty years ago Richard Taylor
made explorations aud reported on this
class OF ore. The only difficulty in i,s de-
yelopmeDt then was lack Of Transports
tion facilities. That objection does not now
exist, and this industry may be expecie ed to
be seen coming prominently 10 the front.
Papers were also read by T. ii. Williams,
OF St.'Lauis, on "The Volumetric Method
l.
Steel" aud by William Kent, OF Pitts:
burgh. on A." Manganese Determination in
Steel" Both papers were discussed at con-
siderable length.
At the afternoon session DR.. Sharpless,
OF Boston, made a statement with reference
10 the Black Band iron ores Of West Vir-
ginia.
F. ii. Dewey, Of Tennessee, read paper
on Rich Hill iron ores.
o. j. Heintricb, OF Drifton, Pa, ex-
planned the practical working OF the ammo
MIA soda process.
Stuart W. Bucb, OF Virginia, read paper
on the hard splint OF KaDawha.
After an explanation OF the geology OF
the valley by Major Hotchklss, the Institute
adjourned until night.
In the mean time visitors were invited to
visit various points OF interest about the
city, carriages having been provided by
citizens.
At the night session Professor Frazer, OF
Philadelphia, read a paper on "Obserya-
vations on Some OF the Ores OF Upper JJmes
River" This was followed by Major Hotch-
kiss in description OF the topography and
geology OF the Virginia Valley. together
with graphic account OF Jacksou's famous
campaign in that section.
The session closed at O'Clock, after
which the members OF the Institute attended
a musical reception and banquet given by
the citizens, winch was quite an elegant
affiir. Tomorrow an excursion over the
Shenandoah Valley road TO the Luray cav
ems is on the programme. In addition 10
the Sublerranean wonders, the engineers
will have an opportunity OF examining some
OF the mineral deposits Of the Valley.
