FIELD FOR INVESTMENT.

Major Jed Hotchkiss is authorised OIL
the natural wealth Of the Virginias.
In his newspaper, the Shendun Mas,
he says
There are no two States i'll the Union
attracting as much attention and at the
same time witnessing such activity in in
dustrial development as the two Virgin
las, and our firm belief is that no other
two States in the Union can equal them
for natural advantages, or as a field for
profitable investment. West Virginia,
the greatest coal and coking district in
the world, has attracted capitist from
all quarters to invest in her iron, ell,
gas and timber lands; and not a week
passes that some companys are not or
ganised there to develop mineral pro-
perties or to build railroads as outlets
for mineral or timber lands, and what
now seems to belively times there. will
later on be only regarded as a picket
skirmish before the grand battle charge
