Capon Springs (W. Val Letter.


Before arriving at Capon. about half
mile from the spring, narrow way is seen
leading directly across the road, in one di-
rection toward Winchester, in the other,
toward the distant Ohio. This way was
made by the order of General Braddock to
facilitate the march of his army during the
last French and Indian war, which pre-
ceded the revolution. Washington was
then on Braddock's staff, serving with the
rank of colonel. A tradition is carefully
preserved that he and Braddock drank
at the Beauty spring, which spring
was well-known to the Indians, and
deemed by them to have great medicinal
properties, especially for rheumatism. The
Indian maidens were supposed to be quite
fond of walking in it's waters ON account of
the silken character which it imparts 70 the
skin. But the great curiosity of Capon is
the tree, the only tree remaining which
has the surveyors mark made by. Washing

for its ancient lord. Captain Vale, the pro-
prietor of the springs, on whose lands it
has stood for so long, on account of an ac-
cident which has happened to it, has had it
hewn down and brought to the patch where
it is to be set up, with proper marks for
recognition.

THFBAsIC STEEL PROCESS IN THE
SOUTH.

lathe bulletin Of the American Iron and
Steel Association, JACOB REESE, the in
ventor Of the basic steel process announces
that the litigation which has prevented the
Introduction Of the process in the United
States is at IA end He has assigned the
basic stsel patents to the Bsssener Steel
Company, limited.
This process has been quite successful
in Europe, and has been largely adopted,
the production Of b,sic steel there having
amounted 10 nearly two million tons in
1sss. a considerable portion Of which was
exported - this country.
Mr.. REESE says that basic steel is in
great demand for tin plates, thin sheets
for stamping into trays and domestic
utensils. such as enameled and nickle-
plated ware, and for wire drawings and
dror foTgings, because il is softer and
more ductie than the les pure sleels
made in the presence of dirty slags. 1t
is also used largely for wire MALE, boiler
plates and rivets because Of its hOGogen-
eousness and toughness.
The inventor thinks that the acid or
Bessemer process has seen its largest de-
velopment in this country, and that the
future increase Of steel production will be
largely if no, entirely due TO the develop
ment Of the blsic process, because By It's
use purer and better metal may be made.
Il is bis opinion, also, that the greatest de-
velopment Of the basic process will be IN
Alabama, Virgins, Tennessee, West Yir-
ginia, Kentucky, North Carolina and

the material needed for the construction OF
steel. bottomei ships can be delivered to g
ship yard at Pensacola, Florida, cheaper
than such material can be bought at any
point on the Delaware river.
