There were in the barn 500 bushels OF
wheat. several tons of baled hay, new

Iron Ore Properties.

A dispatch from Marquette. Michigan.
says: Zen. Alger has bought the Pitts
burg and Lake Superior company's iron
mine for $500, 900. including 500 acres OF
iron land. The mine has been eontinu-
Gus producer since 1871, shipping 58,32I
tons of ore last year. The total product Is
nearly SOC, 600 tons of ore" This may
sound very big for Michigan, but Augusta
county can beat it ten to one, so far as
production is concerned. The ore in
Michigan is gotten by shafting some times
az deep as Thousand feet. At the Da-
vida mine in this county, there is ore
enough above watar level to mine 200 600
tons in year. The area of ground is three
times as large and the marketable value
nearly as great as the Michigan ore. The
Davidia ore is red oxide, or sptcular ore,
free from phosphorus and analyses from
so to IS per cent metallic iron. Tie Mich
igan is magnetic.
At Ferroll also. in this county. an equal
amount of ore can be gotten out above
water level. This is a brown hematite
phosphoriiic ore, and of course will not
bear shipment to points as far as the
Davidia ore. with fair profit. But for
foundry pig it answers all tie purposes
desired and can be u.ined for one-half the
cost, il not less. than the Michigan ore.
The area of land is five times as extensive
as the Michigan tract above referred to.
These properties have never. heretofore,
rated as high as the price given by Gen.
Alger, Notwithstanding their value is
largely greater.
If some of the large capitalists of the
Eorth and Yves. who desire to invest in
iron ore properties would come to Vir-
ginia, they would be shown something
worth buying in that line. They will come.
The drift is this way, and when the bound
less mineral resources OF Virginia. and
especially of Augusta county, are known,
there will be capita plenty 10 develop
them.

At caucus Of the republican memb-
ers Of the legislature, last Thursday
evening, Mr.. Washburn received q
majority of the votes and was declared
their candidate for United States SEN
ator. Saturday morning Senator Ward
introduced I. resolution into the Senate
stating that money had been used in
the Senatorial caucus and asked that an
investigating committee be appointed.
This was done. Up to the time of GO
ing to press we have not heard what
the committee has done. The Legisla-
ture was to commence balloting for U.
is. Senator at noon yesterday, but our
correspondent telegraphs that there
was no balloting. The Senate adj
journed until 8 P. NJ. yesterday even
ing, the investigating committee was
to report. The House adjourned until
10 A. M. Wednesday. Excitement runs
high at ST. Paul.
No other work Of recent date that
deals with economic problems, has had
wider circulation than Henry Georges
Progress and Poverty" The theories
advanced in this book. as well as in
others by the same author, have led to
the organization Of numerous s.Anti-
Poverty" societies all over the country.
A week ago Mr.. Georg lectured to large
and appreciatiye audiences at Minnea-
polls and St. Paul on the most import
ant feature of his proposed system, the
single tax. By single tax he means
tax levied exclusively on land vazues
(not on land itself). Land values, &C
cording to Mr.George, depend on the op.
portunity TO return to labor and capital
a greater amount than the poorest land
in use; and these values he would tax,
at the same time abolishing all direct
and indirect taxes now levied. In this |
single tax he sees a remedy for nearly !
all the evils attendant on the present
unequal distribution of wealth.
In his paper, The Standard" Mr.. |
George frequently stated that an in.
come tax could not solve the problem;
and yet, an income tax and his single
tax are based on The same principle.
The advocates of an income tax have
the same ends in view as Mr.. Georges;
they would levy such a tax not only for
revenue, but also for the purpse of pre-
venting the accumulation Of the coun-
try's wealth in the hands Of few,
thereby securing better distribution of
the good things of this world, With !
this twofold end in view, a Just income
tax could not be levied exclusively on
actual incomes ia tie case of the
landowner, the lowest possible income
that can be derived from his land,
should form the basis of taxation.
This is essentially what Henry George
demands; but we cannot agree with
him as to making the landowner bear
the entire burden of taxation. Such an
application of a broad principle looks
like attempting to tow an ocean steam
ship up the Big Cottonwood.

HOW To Finiah a Iknnl.

So hold book is only just halt writ
ten when the author and the printer and
binder are through with il. 1t is hardly
that. 1t is only when the readers have
annotated it that it is done. The last
edition should include the marks and re-
marks Of reputable readers, and then the
book would be finished. This is the way
it would read: This passage is more
eloquent than true-tle facts in the case
are these and this point the author
should rewrite in the light of modern
psychology" and ''here We have noble
illustration OF how q great mind Crap
pies with delicate questions often in
vain, or this passage is written under
the influence Of the bigotry that the
author supposes he has escaped"
So a running commentary il made, and
the reader gets the advantage Of both
what he reads and what he writes. How
il that2 you say. / will tell you. You
will never think matter through and
through until YOU write it down, and
IS you write you are compelled to sift
your general notions and make them par
ticlllar and accr,rato. So that when yon
are we'll through y volume you have
written a book if you are good ammo

best authors WHO never wrote any other
