ANALYSES OF ORES, ETC.

color and strength.
No. 2-Sand that might be suitable for
the manufacture of some of the coarser
grades OF glass ware.
Il. W.---Berlin-One specimen is flint
containing small crystals of pyrites, four
other specimens are siliceous iron ores
with thin seams of specular ore running
through them.

a fair quality of unctuous clay free from
iron, the other contains considerable
iron.

Edinburg.

We direct attention to the advertise
ment OF special sale of valuable lots at
Edinburg, Va. There is a railroad now
under construction from Edinburg to
Columbia Furnace, which we have no
doubt will be continued further for the
development of the timber and mineral
resources of North mountain, and even
tually pass on into West Virginia. Ma
ture fashioned the locality of Edinburg
for manufacturing site. Its splendid
water power, its proximity to iron ore,
and accessibility to the coke and coal
fields of Pennsylvania furnish advan-
tages OF unusual Importance. Invest
ments there will pay and pay well. if we
do not mistake in our judgment the
future of that section of the Valley.

A Big Movement.


A dispatch from Fairmont, West Va,
to the Baltimore american. under date
Of Nov. IA, says:
About ten days ago James G.. Blaine,
Stephen B. Elkins, ex- United States SEN
atOr Henry g. Davis and others made a
flying trip over the West Virginia Cen
trail Railroad. 1t turns out that this visit
was taken in connection with the recent
purchase of $4,000 acres of valuable coal
land in the county reached by the West
Virginia Central Road 1t is also known
that the same interest has just acquired
$1,000 acres of coal in Monongalia coun-
ty. It is the purpose in the early spring
to extend the West Virginia Central from
Elkins to Philippl, thence along the val
ley Of the Tygart river to Grafton, ON
the Baltimore & Ohio; thence to Fair
mont, thence to Fair Chance, Pa, CON
Meeting with the Southwest Pennsylva-
mia, southeast from Elkins. Three engi-
neer corps are now running lines through
Webster, Pocahontas. Greenbrier and
Monroe counties, and thence across the
mountains to a connection with the Ches-
apeake y Ohio at Goshen, Va This road
will open up vast extent of undevelop-
ed coal, iron and timber country, of
which many Thousand acres have been
bought by the gentlemen at the head of
the enterprise. The road will also be OF
great advantage to Pittshurg. giving her
manufacturers easy access to vast depos-
Its OF raw materials.

''ToO Many BoOms?"

The article on the outside form with
the above caption and query is sug.
gestive and worth thinking over. 1t
presents the possibilities of Virginia in
a perspicuous and intelligent manner,
and illustrates what may and we believe
will be accomplished in this grand old
State. That which has been achieved
in Massachusetts, ought certainly to be
accomplished in Virginia. We have five
times as much territory and infinitely
more abundant natural resources. We
have q sea-coast as extended and just as
available as can be found in any of the
States. We have minerals, far excelling
anything that Massachusetts can boast
Of We have water power unsurpassed
any where. We have an excellent soil
for agriculture, and a climate that af
fords advantages that cannot be claimed
in the New England States or the
North. Nature, indeed. has been lavish
in her endowments to Virginia, bestow-
ing enough material wealth for an en-
pire, and placing her at the gateway OF
the South, where future material devel-
opment and wealth creating agencies
must hold sway. There is not between
SO favorably located and so richly en-
dowed as Virginia. And there is moth
ing that can arrest her progress, or
check her onward march to material
wealth and political power but her own
people. And this will not be allowed. AS
we have before stated, in the darker days
of the Commonwealth when no other pa
per spoke for her material interests or
told of her indefinite possibilities-if our
own people do not avail of the wonderful
natural advantages they possess, others
more sagacious and energetic will. Al
ready this is being realized. Northern
capital is locating in our mountains of
iron and planting itself in our embryo
towns. 1t has just begun to move this
way, and is being met by earnest and
cordial welcome, and engaging co-ope-
ration to the extent OF our ability.
Indeed, new life is pulsating through
the veins of Virginians-new hope and
fresh endeavor are directing their move
ments, and by this is being accomplished
q marvellous revolution in our material
relations.
There is no danger of too much boom
ing. Let it intensity and stir the blood
and strengthen the nerves of our old
and young men, until the old Common
wealth shall come forth as fair as the
moon and as terrible as an army with
banners to old fogies and mossbacks,
which have sat upon her vitals for
SO many years. There is no place for
the croakers in the rushing, impulsive-
aad daring courage that are spring
ing into existence and moving the wa
ters and the mountains and the valleys
to give up their dead wealth and exhibit
their hidden resources to the consumma-
ton of Virginia's greatness.

Cord ,ntville and Shendun." This will
be direct line from Quantico to North
River Gap, where the road will tap the
anthracite coal fields and iron deposits
of the North mountain, and the route
which would bring the bituminous Goals

deep water 60 miles nearer than any
other route. We believe this line will be
taken up some day whether by the
Pennsylvania Central or not It is feast
BILE and will open up splendid country
and secure immense traffic for railroad.
