Iron Mining in Virginia.

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16, 1SS2.-The
writer has had considerable experience in
mining iron ores in Virginia, and as many
Of our citizens arc interested in that industry
it may not be out of place to submit in few
words some observations on this subject
After work in the syenite rock of the Blue
Ridge foot hills in Fauquier; in the mica States
of Orange, and the gneiss of Nelson and Am
herst; after prospecting in the epidote and
among the triassc rocks, with their accom-
paning outcrops of primitive rocksin Prince
William and Fairfax, it seems to me that
the field in Virginia is grand for enterprise
and money-getting from her minerals.
Mistakes have been made by capitalists, and
even by Pennsylvania experts in locating
and working ores, but these mistakes can
answer as alarm signals to guide the future
capitalist and expert in their work. One
mistake has been in spending money where
soft wall rocks should have warned the en-
pert that in the distorted State of Virginia
ore mining there would be costly and I'M
certain. TO the solid gneissoid, syenite and
epidote rocks we must 60 if we would find
ores in unlimited quantities. We find in
these rocks abundant evidence of ores that
invite capital to so down into their solid
chambers and mine out wealth. The expert
who expects to make success in his profess
sion should be thoroughly acquainted with
the rock formations Of the Lake Superior,
Lake Champlain and New Jersey ore belts.
These formations we find adjacent to the
Blue Ridge, and in the ore belt of the high
gneissoid mountains, lying some twenty
miles east of the Blue Ridge. Colossal for
tunes have been made in the North mining.
Six companies in Lake Superior last
year mined over 100000 tons of iron
ore. Why should not our people be iron
lords? They can if they will only lend
little aid to those who have faith in Vir-
GINA; faith won from the sweat and labor
ofrecearches in her mountains
Respectfully, VIM. G. DOUGLASS

DURING a recent visit to this
Coast of two Irish members Of
Parliament, one. of them, T. III.
Healy, in speech at San FranGis-
CO, said:
Americans, we are told, are very
sensitive upon the question of the
rights of private property. Has
America never interfered with the
rights Of private property? !
think I have heard of a noble,
honored name, dear TO ali lovers
of liberty in America-Abraham
Lincoln-and his abolition of pri-
vate property, invested in 1000,
600 slaves, worth S2,O0O,000,000.
Take all Ireland from sea to sea,
or rather the land of its oppressed
people, and it could be bought for
half that sum. Still, the men who
cried "Weil done," when Abraham
Lincoln wiped out s2,000,000,00
of private property because they
abhorred and detested black sla-
very, now condemn US because we
are endeavoring to free ourselves
from slavery still worse than that
of the southern states. Have we
no slaves in Ireland? ! have
never heard that the slaves in the
South went about half-starved,
half-naked, and were obliged to
live in novels that white men
would not put their beasts into. |
have never heard that less than
thirty years ago nearly two million
Of people died in the midst OF
plenty by actual starvation. And
while / have heard of kind hearted
southern men whopermitted slaves
to work and save enough to buy
their cwn freedom, and fed him,
and clothed him and cared for him
at the same time; [ have never
heard of an English landlord doing
the same for his Irish tenant
