ANOTHER MOVE.
Mr.. wheeler's next move was motion

The Chair declined TO entertain this. mo-

THE ROUTE.
The route through Fox Gap is said to be

count of its inaccessibility. Besides the
| timber there is in the Balsom mountains
one of the richest deposits of lead to be
found in the United States.
CLIFFS OF METAL.
During the late war some old settlers
carried hundreds of pounds of lead GU
from solid cliffs of metal and supplied the
soldiers with the same. 1t isalso said thai
the Indians of the country obtained I'm
mense amounts Of native silver from th'
hidden recesses of this same mountain
and rumor has it that a quantity OF thi'
precious metal III the form of bullion nov
remains lost in the mountains up there
left by the Indians and seen by the frs
