MASON COUNTY TIN. 2 2
How the. citizens Of that County
Have Been Duped.

Prof w. III. Seamon, well known
to great many of our readers, has
made an assay of the alleged tin
ore in Mason county, and written
to the Industrial South concerning
it. We quote part of his letter:
Milton, on the Chesapeake &
Ohio Ry., Cabell county, was the
first point visited. 1t was there
that the ''tin-ore' was first discov-
cred, some time in 1873, near the
top of one Of the small hills ~
miles northeast of the village.
There ! made the acquaintance OF
DIR. Robinson and of Hon. Thomas
Cline, members of one of the tin
companies. They informed me
that the other members of their
company are from Cincinnati. AT
my request these gentlemen sent
two men with me to the ''tin-ore'
ledge, or quarry; these men had
gotten out the ore that was shipped
to Cincinnati and in which tin -
was reported. After carefully ex-
aiming the ledge and its immedi-
ate vicinity, / directed these men
to break off about 80 Tbs of the
tin ore" SO that could have a
sample as near like the one they
sent to Cincinnati as it was posi-
BILE for them to give me. After
arranging the samples SO they
could not be tempered with with
out danger Of detection, | left them
in charge Of the hotel proprietor at
Milton, and, with Mr.. Felix, one
of the "tin" men, who was thor
oughly acquainted with the coun.
try, / visited the noted Glenwood
tin" deposit in Mason county.
This Glenwood deposit, from
which the ore was obtained that
gave such excellent results" in
the public smelling trial at Clifton,
is on the farm of Augustus Young,
about one mile from Glenwood VII
lage on the Ohio river. An open
ing of considerable extent had been
made there and several tons of the
''tin-ore" were lying about the
opening. The ''ore" here seemed
to be more silicious than at Milton,
otherwise there was no pereeptible
difference. About 20 TBS Of ore
were taken from this point. "'de,'
X X it5 e. ~ .H 49,
Here he gives a quantatitive and
qualitative analysis of the ore in
which he says not a particle Of tin
could be found. He goes on to
say: ~
During my whole trip was
shown but one specimen of metal
lie tin, and that was one about the
size Of a silver quarter in the pos
session Of Mr.. Weeks, of Milton,
who claimed to have secured it
himself by fusing some Of the "tin,
ore" with soda and sal-ammoniac
in an iron ladle.
The specimens of metallic tin
that have been exhibited as coming
from this core must have been
purchased. Prof. /. c. White, Of
Morgantown, W. Va, sent me a
small piece, last summer, that had
been given to him as from this
ore; on analysis it gave: Metallic
tin %. is, lead I.42, and iron o.2o,
in 90. 50 per cent.
II believe that Cincinnati men
are at the bottom of this swindle,
and that the West Virginians con-
nected with these "tin" companies
are being used as tools to further

The CITY of wheeling as q
Manu- ia c turing Center.

We have always felt pride in the
chief city Of our State for its position
as one of the leading manufacturing
cities of the country.
Its nails have been better in quail
ity and greater in quantity than those
of any other single locality. If they
have not commanded a premium
they have always been preferred in
the market. Its manufactures have
been regarded as the most staple
and conservative. There have been
comparatively few failures among
them and they have generally stood
steadfast and solid amidst the fiuct-
uations and panics that have so Of
ten imperiled and overthrow the
iron industries, in the past few
years.
But we are sorry to believe that
Wheeling is fast losing her position
as manufacturing city through the
influences and as result of the strife
that is occurring, with the regularity
of the seasons, between those who
are trying to maintain and pocket
an unwarrantable and inequitable
dividend, and those who are unwill-
ing that these dividends shall be
maintained at the expense of the
laborer.
Under the operations of this peri
odical contest the manufactures are
closed for about six months out of
twelve. Labor is idle and capital is
in one sense idle. The community,
which has been accustomed to de-
pend on the business which the
manufactures produce, is thrown
into condition of comparative idle
ness, uncasiness, and general depres-
sion. And while this is going on
skilled labor is moving away; the
trade of the manufactures and the
city is moving away; capital is be-
coming more and more suspicious of
Wheeling as bushes center, and a
decline in every department of trade
is the natural consequence.
An unrighteous tariff is the root
of the whole evil. A tariff that was
adopted as protection to infant in
dustries has been perpetuated to fos-
ter and protect stupendous monop-
oily. The enormous profits to the
manufacturer that were made posi-
BILE by this tariff have attracted an
enormous investment of capital to
share in them. The result is that
about six months work of the exist
ing manufactures gluts the market
The natural law Of supply and de-
mand-if it were allowed to operate
would reduce the price Of the pro-
duct, thereby creating more lavish
use and consumption, which would
enable the manufactures to run all
the year at less profit but a larger
income. But natures laws are not
allowed to operate. The manufac-
turcrs go into caucus and agree that

Hampshire Review.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gould came to
Romney on the train Monday even
ing to look after lands Of which she
claims to be heir through FER father,
John Dimmit, son of John Dimmit,
who was the servant of General
Washington. She gives very
eventful history, the sum of which is
about as follows: Her father with
other colored people, was set free
and sent to Ohio where he lived and
perhaps died, but she Elizabeth
was kidnapped in Cincinnati and
carried to Mississippi and sold as a
slave, from there she worked her way
down TO New Orleans where she was
boxed up and carried to Africa and
landed at a mission station where
she remained six months, thence she
got to New York where she found
friends and good wages and accum-
ulated money enough to buy her
husband. She says that she left
Mississippi the fall that Polk was
elected President.
AS to the nature of her claims and
the extent of her property, she says
that General Washington requested
certain lands to her grandfather
and his heirs forever, that she has a
copy of the deed, and that the lands
lie in the Lord Fairfax grant, and
that she has located 200 acres in
Berkeley ooanty including the town
Of Berkeley Springs. She claims
that she has got some information
from the descendants of Charles
Washington, at Charleston.
Other lands are said to be in or
near Romney. She is here to hunt
them up. AS to what steps she will
take and how she will succeed, the
writer is not able to say, but thinks
it likely that the quiet and peaceful
jewellers of this valley would rather
that she should pass on to Lost
River to the tree marked by Georges
Ratchet, which marks it bears to
this day. She speaks of a certain

RIOTING HUNS.
Another Bloody Fight at Broad

BRoADFoRD, Pa, Feb. 8.-The
trouble anticipated yesterday came
this morning when the procession
Of 600 strikers from Connellsville
appeared at the Henry Clay works
Of Prick & Co. The men at work,
numbering about twenty, immedi-
ately fled on catching sight of the
advancing strikers, except Yard.
boss Peter Scissor and Arthur
Wyatt and French Canadian. To
the yells Of the strikers the Cana
dian replied by opening fire with
his revolver. The first bullet
brought down an Italian from the
Trotter works, named Michael
Saggi. The strikers returned the
fire, when several deputies, who
were in the tipple, opened on the
crowd with their revolvers.
The strikers .retreated without
further loss, and. carried Saggi to
DIR. ]. S. Reagan's office. Then
they held consultation a few yards
from the company store, and de-
cided to go back after the man who
had shot Saggi. They were told
it was Yard-boss Scissor. Return
ing to the works they met Scissor,
who warned them off Instead Of
going they attacked Scissor with
car Stats and beat him terribly
about the head and face. He man.
aged to get away at last, and took
refuge in the house of Station
Agent Myer, of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. The latter interfer-
ed and saved Soisson's life, saying
he was not the man who fired the
shot.
The strikers then turned upon
Wyatt and beat him severely until
he could make them understand
that it was the Canadian who had
shot Saggi. They then searched
the works for the Canadian. Fail
ing to find him they set fire to the
tipple and marched away to the
meeting at Scottdale. The fire
destroyed the tipple and engine
house of the Henry Clay Works,
the boiler-house Of the Yough, and
partly burned several cars which
were standing on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad under the tipple.
The loss is estimared from 81, 900
