To he "}iior Of the .iLrraHdra Gu=riic:
We are enthusiasts Oh the subject of the mime! al
wealth of Virginia, because We know what We ar,
talking and writing about, and know how to give
Il reason for the hope that is in lis. Capt Overall
for years was laughed nj because he believed il,
the minerals of his Silvcrian rocks but to-day his
land has developed wealth and Il company with
Governor Foster of Ohio, rs its president is driv-
ing picks and laundering with its powder in the.
western foothills of the Blue Ridge The writer
has traced these rcd and brown hrHattcS for miles
along The Blue Ridge.
There are iron in Virginia that will pay Il
profit Of from twenty-five cents to three dollars
and !y cents per tom--shippcd north. See what
4 margin if worked here.
Iron ore i, only one of the sources of wealth of
Virginia. The writer knows of an undevclnprd
i slate pencil that can bc bought for five dol
and Wclch quarrics are. would he worth two hun
drcd to five hundred dollars an acre
The writer has an offer from Il New York firm
for four thousand tons of soapstonc for use in
stables 1T price that gives u very large margin of
profit.
You say, why have these minerals not been
utilized? because M one has tried in Il business
way. II can't BIZ done without cXpcndng money,
but for every dollar expended you can realize
twenty, providing you have your business in the
hands of trI3ty stewards who knows what they are
about. Respectfully, WILLIAM c. DouGLAS.
