A SUMMARY.
In concluding this description of what
believe is to be one of the busiest iron man.
ufacturing cities in Virginia in the future.
may give my reasons for this belief. 1t is
located in the very centre Of a circle of
mountains fille1 with brown hematite of
the finest quality: it is in four hours
reach of the coking fields of New River by
rail; it is within six hours of the ocean
by rail; it is on one of the greatest systems
OF road in the country and it's products
have market in every quarter of the
Union; one Of it's directors who has a large
interest in its success, is the man
ager of that road system; the men at the head
OF the company are practical men and most
n2f them men of large wealth; iron manufac-
curing is already being carried on here sue
cessfnlly in one of the largest furnaces in the
United States and finally the advantages for
acity in the location, thehealth of the place,
the water, and the fine mountain scenery
are unsurpassed by any have seen.
The row of cottages opposite the old
Goshen hotel will be torn down this week
and the offices of the company will be erec-
ted there. The resident officers here will
be General Manager Ehrman and Secreta-
~ Cooke. The engineers of the company
will go on to lay off the land and in thirty
days the erection of buildings for the roll
ing mill and other industries secured will
be commenced. H.C.T.

Life in the Frozen North is the
title of lecture by Miss Olof Kraver,
The Esquimaux Lady, for the sixth
night. This little lady is not only q
lecturer, but a curiosity. She is native
of Greenland, where she lived until her
fifteenth year, when she left home with
a party of shipwrecked sailors, and after
travelling thousand miles over frozen
seas and glaciers, at last reached Iceland.
After ten years. residence in Iceland,

boy artists, Master Harry Dimond and
Master Glenn Hall.
On the tenth and last evening of the
course, George r. Vending, one of the
most brilliant orators of the day, will

lectures and concerts is expected to be
on or about November 18th. The entire
course season ticket has been placed at
the low price of $3.50.

What MIR. Cernuschi Thinks of Free
Coinage in the United States.
Last year M. Cernuschi of Paris, the
distinguished and brilliant exponent of
bi-metallism, proposed the adoption of
compromise monetary system, based
on the dual units, the gold dollar of the
United States, and the silver fve-franc
piece OF the Latin Union. He offered
prize of 10000 francs for the best ex-
position OF the system he proposed,
which was very definite and practical
one. Thirty-nine essays from different
parts of the world were submitted to
the judges; and the prize was awarded
to Baron van Rochussen, formerly
minister of foreign affairs of the Neither
lands.
Among the competitors was our
townsman, III. d. Barrows. to whom M.

WYOMING

The timber area of Wyoming has been
variously estimated from 7,OOO,O 900 to
10, 900, 900 acres, a variation probably ow-
ing to the fact that the sparsely-timbered
land has been included in the larger esti-
mate.
Yellow and white pine and white spruce
are the principal timber. Many regard
the yellow pine as the best and most use
full tree, while others think the white
spruce furnishes the best timber fora II pur-
poses. Lodge pole pine is the prevailing
forest tree in a wide area along the noun
tain range north and south of Laramie,
1t is also common in the northwestern
and other portions of the state. 1t often
replaces the original growth after fires.
These trees have an average growth from
eight to twelve inches IN diameter, but
are occasionally found three to four feet
in diameter and sixty to 100 feet in
height. Red cedar has a scattering
growth along the foot hills. and less
elevation the streams are fringed with
cottonwood, box elder, willow, scrub oak
aud other small shrubbery.

ALL KINDS OF MINES.
The Precious and Base Metals,
Petroleum and Stone.
More Than 1000, 900 Tons of Coal
Mined Yearly in the State.
Two Big Gold ~Stampedes to the
Mountains This Season.

The mining industries OF Wyoming
present perhaps the greatest possibilities
of any of its resources. They comprise
not only the precious metals, gold and
silver, but inexhaustible quantities Of
coal, petroleum, iron and soda. Copper,
lead, tin, asbestos, mica, sulphur. graph
lite, kaolin, f%re-clay, glass sand and other
valuable deposites exist, and manT IF
them In large deposits. Building stone
is also abundant. including granite. mar
bic, slate, sandstone, limestone, etc. 1t
is shown in -Geologist Rickett S report
that the area underlaid with coal exceeds
10000 square miles, or equal to double
the coal area of the great coal state of
Pennsylvania. More than 1900, 900 tons
of coal are annually mined and the output
is being constantly increased. The coal
product already exceeds s., 900, 900 an
nually.
The oil region extends over a country
more than 800 miles In length, and in
districts averaging so by 100 miles in
extent. Two hundred thousand dollars
are said to have been spent within the
past year in developing the petroleum in
dustry. A number of flowing wells have
been plugged and only await better trans
portation facilities.
Gold quartz and placer mines are being
proftably worked in some localities, and
the mining of copper has also been found
profitable; but, with the exception of coal,
the mining industries can hardly be said
to be developed. Wyoming is q great
storehouse of mineral wealth, and it will
not be many years before it will employ
the highest skill of capital and labor.
More railroads are needed to assist this
development.
This season has marked two gold stau-
pedes, both Of which are still in active
progress. One is to.the Miners Delight,
