Mining and Manufacturing News

The Crimora Manganese Mines on the
output of eighty tons daily. The mining
shafts have reached a depth of III feet
and double shift of miners is employed
one shift working from I a. m. to p. m. j,
and another from p. m. to a. m. At
this time $50 men, about half whites and
half negroes, are employed at Crimora,
and we question whether any other mine
in this country can show as large results
for the number of men employed. The
very best of appliances are used in mining
and in handling the product of the mine,
the steam power of two engines being
used in raising, crushing and washing the
ore. The washed ore Is dumped from the
washer directly into the cars of the Shen-
andoah Valley r. R., which has branch
from it's CrImora station to the mine
Arrangements are completed for sinking
an artesian well to increase the water
supply. The mine is under long lease to
the American Manganese Co., of which
M. e. Davis is President, and 81. M. Cur
nv Secretary and Treasurer. Its officers
are at Pittsburg, Pa, and Crimora.-
D uriDg the past four years this mine has
furnished over 16, 900 tons of high grade
manganese ore.
The s'Virginias "gives detailed state
ment of the big output of Lowmoor furnace
for the lis days en- ling April %, which
shows that the average per day, allowing
for all deductions, Was 13I tons. Of this,
Al per cent. of the entire output was No 1
pig. the highest grade; Sc per cent, No 2
pig, the second highest grade; and 16 per
cent. ''mill'' iron, or the third highest
grade To make the total of 1852 tons
(of 1928 pounds) of iron, there was used
of limonite ore, SO ,654 tons; of New River
coke, II. 795 tons, and of limestone, 1888
tons-a total of 6S,0S7 tons of raw mate
rial. The "Vlrglnias'' says, that: "After
careful enquiry we are perfectly satisfied
that iron is now made as cheaply at Low
moor as at any point in the South OR in any
portion of this country. Its operations
have settled the question that Central
Virginia can produce more and better iron
for the same money than any other region
in the Union, and then. when such iron is
made. it can cheaply reach several good
markets"
The Gem Furnace at Mines. which has
lust started up again, is working beauti-
fully and is now operating at it's full ca
pacity. which is about 100 tons daily
Four casts, or let outs, are made daily. A
superior quality of iron is being manu-
featured. The starting of the furnace

WAYNEsBORO, May 5.
Your reporter was startled to hear some
DAYS since that an ancient grave had beer
discovered on the mountains near mere.
whose headstone bore the date of October
1928. AS about that period in the history
of this country, in all probability. old man
Lo. and the rest of the boys were setting
up the pins, and fixing things for the fall
meeting of the Big Council Fire; and the
dusky squaws. and the ideal maldens with
fawn-like grace gathered on this banks OF
the laughing waters Of the South River
with agile fingers were manipulating
various barks and vines in wrestling with
the problems of crazy quilts and dados, we
thought there must be some mistake; SO.
ih order to ascertain the truth of the mat
ter, we sought the service of Mr.. VIM b
Alexander, one of our Oldest citizens.
whose knowledge of luxurious and quaint
facts in the history of our town and vicl-
nifty is proverbial. We learned there were
several old graves on spur of the Blue
Ridge near here, with heads5ones, but he
did not remember the dates. 1t was about
Christmas day, in the year 1850. that Mr..
A., accompanied by the late Mr.. Joseph
Y. Smith. was out hunting rabbits, and
whilst crossing the spur Of the mountain
just southwest of the junction. about one
fourth of mile, and probably mile
southeast of town. on the old Critzer
place, in dense thicket. they suddenly
came upon several graves, the existence OF
which, seemed to have been, unknown to
any one. Having persuaded Mr.. A. to
accompany us, we set out for the ancient
cemetery last week. After climbing up
the hill, and after some difficulty in pass
ing through the deuse underground, we
found the graves. But two rough bead
stones were found, one in good condition
comparatively, the other broken in two
and the two pieces found some distance
apart; yet there were several sunken places
in the vicinity, showing plainly that other
interments had taken place there. The
stone that remains unbroken IS rough
slab of mountain rock, about two and a
