When the consideration of the Senate
amendment TO the hill came up Mr..
Saunders took occasion to enter vigor-
Gus protes. against that feature of the
present Law to give AID to disabled sol
diers which requires applicants for relief
who have hitherto proved and tiled their
claims to reprove them under tine pres
ent statute.
Mr.. Saunders said that there were
many worthy applicants Tor relief in his
county. who had complied With all the
rigorous requirements Of the statute OF
1887, and that it would be a great hard
ship upon these men to compel them to
renew their applications and thereby de-
fer the payment OF their claims that
these aspirations were now on file IN
the Auditors Office, and that they were
entitled to their money as soon As an APP
preparation bill was passed Mr.. Sam
ders said that it would subject many de-
serving men to great Inconvenience to
collect again the proof which they had
once successfully presented.
The amendment Was rejected.
Distribution OF MONEY.
The Senate bill providing for the
distribution Of money appropriated to
educational and eleemoSynary institu-
tions" came up, and provoked much dis
cuSslOn.
Mr.. fchols moved to dismiss the bill.
Mr.. Moore, OF Clarke. spoke in favor
OF the bill, explaining Its merits fully.
Mr.. Anderson, OF Rockbridge, OPP
posed il.
tie was followed by Mr.. Ryan, who
said lie could understand the objections
made by the members who had inst
spoken, because it affected the banks in
the counties they came from. The bill
provided that all money appropriated to
TIE educational and eleemosynary insti-
tutions OF the State shall remain IN the
Treasury TO the credit of the respective
institutions, to be drawn upon by the
president or officers of the institutions.
Mr. Anderson Indignantly denied that
he had any such motive as interest in
any bank in opposing the bill. He
thought the imputatioh was unworthy OF
the member from Loudoun and unjust
to himself
Mr.. Echols said il the member from
Loudoun could not bring any better
argument IL favor of the bill he had

AS the following may be of interest
to the many readers of your valuable

hope that you will kindly publish it:
The Comet mine Is owned by j. b.
Boyd, Baxter Thomas, and Messrs.
Schroeder and Sullivan. 1t is situated
about seven miles northeast of Soldier,
and rs miles west Of HALEY, which is
the nearest railroad point. 1t is on
the Camas Gold Belt, about 10 miles
west of the famous Camas No. 2 mine:
The vein runs northwest and south.

angle of4S degrees. The formation
is porphyritic granite, the walls being
quite soft and we'll defined. The
ledge is from IA to Is feet wide-ALL
PAY ORE, mostly decomposed, and,
Judging from the numerous assays,
averaging $40 per ton in gold and 81
in silver. Specimens, however, have
assayed as high as $500 in gold. The
gold is worth $l8 to $40 per ounce.
The base is pyrites of iron, and some
times a little lead ID found.
Development work is as follows:
A tunnel now in $50 feet which, when
completed, will be $50 feet long, and
in good ore all the way. At the end of
the tunnel there is a shaft down &C
feet, the lower third of which is in
good ore. Tunnel and shaft will be
connected about the first Of April.
The ledge can be traced on the sur
face for 1900 feet, and shows the
same character of ore throughout.
There are two other claims on the
same lode, to- wit: tho Grand Prize
and Gold Bar-both of which promise
| to be as good as the Comet. There is
a good wagon-road to the mines
and a plentiful supply of water aud
timber at hand. Being situated on
the south slope of the range the mines
could be worked pro6tably both sum.
