Invaluable mining and industrial journal,

This number is the equivalent of a fifty.
page duodecimo volume, with four full

it will get several times the worth of his
money. We repeat, what we have often
said before, that we do not see how any
man interested in mines or mineral lands
in Virginia or West Virginia can afford 10
do without this journal nor how he can
reconcile it with proper ideas of right to
allow Major Hctchkiss to carry on this
great work, SO thoroughly well and at such
a large outlay, without contributing TO it.
