VIRGINIA TIN ORE.
Valuable and Abundant Deposits
In the Vicinity of BerryviIIe.

BERRYvILLE, Va, Feb. 17.-[Spcc-
iall-The glory and industrial enter.
prise of the far-famed Shenandoah Val
ley and Southwest Virginia has still an
other jewel added to it's already spark
ling crown. The fuller development of
the tin ore deposits, mentioned by your
correspondent in THE TINES last week,
shows q quality of ore nowhere in tho
world surpassed, either in. quality or
quantity. Samples OF this ore have been
sent to Professors Genth, of Philadel-
phia; Mallett, of the University of Vir-
GINA and Mr.. Popplein, of Baltimore,
who, after careful analyses, find the
samples sent them to contain 1918 per
cent. metallic tin.
Mr.. j. M. Pascoe, formerly superin-
tendent of the Gonamena Tin Mines,
Cornwall, Eng, visited recently the
property of the Virginia Tin Mining &
Smelling Company, near Berryville, and
after careful examination, says;
"From what have seen am satisfied
which cannot help paying magnificentiy
if properly worked. My only fear is
that the company may not have the
patience to develop the property, and so
abandon it,"
1t has since been learned that Mr..
Pascoe has resigned his position in
England and engaged to take charge of
the Virginia Tin Mining e Manufacture
ing Company's mines. Nature has so
planned that this orc can also be mined
at very small cost. The crude ore
will be conveyed to tho dressing works
by gravitation, said works being so
situated as to admit of the use of water
as their motive power, if deemed advis-
able SO to utilize it.
1t is estimated that, with very little
sorting of the ore at the face of the cuts
or pits, ore carrying an average of not
less than two per cent. metallic tin to
the ton of ore can be delivered at the
stamps and crusher at cost of not over
fifty cents per ton, which is exceedingly
little.
The cost of mining and milling tin in
Cornwall is easily ascertained from the
British governmental publications, and
below are given the figures, together
with the estimated figures for the Blue
Ridge ore:

THE ENGINEERS TO ORGANIZE.
"A Movement on Foot to Organize n State
Association of Engineers.

Association of Engineers.
a movement is on foot for tho organi-
cation of n State Association of En-
gineers. James II. Fits, professor of
applied mechanics in the Virginia
Mechanical and Agricultural College at
Blacksburg, has issued the following
letter to tho engineers throughout the
State;
''In many States of the .Union, engi-
ncering societies exist whose meetings
for the purpose of reading papers and
discussing engineering topics prove of
much value to the members. A society
of engineers should be organized in this
State. Its members would be benefited
in many ways by the discussion of sub
jects of interest by exchanging publ
cations with kindred societies, by being
acquainted with others of the profession
throughout the State, and enjoying the
pleasant social relations which will thus
be brought about
With the letter is an enclosed sheet
with blanks to fill out as to where the
engineers shall meet to organize.
There is a large number of engineers
in Roanoke, and this matter has been
discussed by them for some time. Major
IL. w. Newly, of the Roanoke and
Southern railroad, and Captain j. H.
Wingate are the leaders in this matter,
and it is probable that the engineers Of
the city will take an active part in the
organization of the association.

The material easily and abundantly
available for dressing in the works pro-
posed carries from two to three per
cent. metallic tin to the ton Of ore, with
the likelihood that, as has been proven
by the washing of nearly all of the tin
mines in the world, after the ore has
been mined to some distance under the
surface it becomes somewhat richcr in
metallic tin.
Little Clarke can we'll be proud of her
wealth in this respect, as no other ore
of this kind is to be found in the United
States in sufficient quantities to be
worked profltably.
Messrs. d. w. Flickwir, general
eastern superintendent of the Norfolk
and Western railroad, and S. Ii. IIaupt,
upcrintendent of motive power for the
Same company, were here last Friday
and went on prospecting tour along
the proposed line of tho extension of
the Washington, Ohio and Western rail
road from Round Hill to this place. 1t
IS to be hoped that this aforementioned
line of road may be built, as it will give
easy access to the rich beds of iron, cop
per and tin ores that abound along it's
proposed line, besides giving tho people
of tho lower Shenandoah valley quick
transit to the National Capital.
