The Way to Build Up Alexandria.

Ia The editor Of the alexandria Ga-stte:
The writer has written often in regard to
iron manufacture in Virginia, and had hoped
before this to have seen the rocks of her
hills melting in Alexandria furnaces. This
industry takes large capital, comparative
ly, and it may be some time before this
hope is realized In the meantime, the
lands which parties have under contract
duly recorded will become none the less
valuable by the delay.
But there are other minerals in Virginia
that can be utilized in Alexandria with less
capital than iron. Among these are SOAP
stone and paints, You can hear Of many
soapstone quarries in this State; but yery
few oily will come UP to the requirements
OF sopstone purchasers. It has to have
strength proper hardness; while it can be
| quarried economically and for certain uses
must be imperyious to water; il must also
be free of earth holes and iron.
Such are, the conditions of the soapstone
leased by the writer. 1t stands out in bold
clitl, and good as it is at the surface. no
doubt its quality will improve in depth.
The uses of soapstone are numerous and
every year increasing. Among these uses
are the following: For naval and merchant
vessels, in the lining of their galleys or cook
ing apartments; for fancy stable feed
troughs and otherpurposcs for hearths and
lire place work, stove Innings; in architec-
tur:L work, capings, window sill and COR
nice work. 1t also has been used for floors
and wainscoating: and for laundry sinks. A
firm in New York makes one Of the best
heating furnaces out of soapstone almost ex-
clusively; and is ready to contract with the
writer and also arrange for the manufac-
ture of such furnaces in Alexandria when.
ever proper capital can be secured.
Here alone is business that in time might worl,
a very large force in this city. Another firm
makes handsome heating stove
The writer also has leased yellow and brown
ochre in Rockingham county. The red iron ores
ofEirginia we have had tested and find make an
excellent paint. especially for roofing. Fine
lumber also can &c procured. To give some idea of
the demand for paRts will state that an archi
tcctural journal before me contains the advertise
ments of ten sheet iron roofing works, each of
which would consume tons of paints. The in
Vulnerable agricultural works and railroads. nil
consume quantities of paints, to say nothing of
house building, barb wire fence works and other
industries Why can not Alexandria utilize these
raw materials and thus make her railroad which
she contributed so largely to build of greater SER
vice to her. Let us start in q small way and by
economy and energy take away the stigma so
often repeated by her citizens; mo enterprise can
succeed here" Stock companies pay and employ
thousands elsewhere. Why not here Resnect |
fully, WILLIAM G. DOUGLAS.

lie GENEVA AWARD ACTs'-The Geneva
Award Acts; with notes, and references
to Decisions of The Court Of Commission
els OF Alabama Claims" BY Mr.. Frank
W. Hackett, OF the Washington, D. c..
Bar.
This treatise reviews the legislation OF
Congress relative to the disposition of the
Geneva Award fund, as contained in the
acts of June %, 1874 and June 5, 1882. Each
section of these actssi is compared seriatim
and the points of likeness and divergence
noted. AS the provisions of the act OF
1882, which re-established the Court of Com
missioners of Alabama Claims for the pur-
pose of adjudicating two, new classes of
claims exculpated cruiser" and war
premium" closely connected with, and
often dependent, for their Interpretation.
upon those of the act of 1874 this juxtapo
sition and comparison alone would be of
value to those interested in this further dis
position of the above award fund. The ac-
quaintance, however, of the author with
the decisions and rulings of the former
Court, derived from his position rs assis-
tant United States counsel and his
private practice before that Court, has
enabled him to enhance greatly the
value of his book in this respect by frequent
citations, showing the construction put by
1t upon the last mentioned act. Thus pc
culiarly useful to lawyers and claimants.
the work is by no means void of interest for
the general student of our history and leg
islation. The diplomatic negotiations which
terminated in the Treaty of Washingtonaud
the liability of Great Britain to this govern
ment, as determined by the Geneva Arh-
tration, arc historic facts of such moment
that any undertaking which throws light
upon the legislation consequent upon the
award thus pronounced cannot fail to con
mend itself to the thoughtful reader. The
book is published by Little, Brown & Co..
Boston,
