Scribner'S Magazine:
Though West Virginia has a smaller
area than any OF the timber States, it
has probably a larger amount OF stand
ing timber than any other State in the
Union. Fully two-thirds OF its surface
is covered with an ORIGINAL growth Of
oak, ash, maple, chestnut, pine and
black walnut, dcnser and finer than any
other timber cast of the Rocky Noun.
tains. 1t is estimated that there are in
the State l0,000,00 acres Of this timber
standing, 5000 feet upon an acre-say
s0,00O0O0O0O feet-cnough to keep ev-
cry sawmiii in Michigan busy for eighty
years, il they were to cut an amount
yearly equal to the whole annual pro-
duction now Of that great lumber State.
With Maine and Michigan now more
than half denuded OF their timber, it
will not be long before this great forest
wealth will DO brought into the market;
and then this virgin State will no longer
"sit solitary in the wilderness" but be
made merry with the music OF the axe
music set TO the chorus Of Yankee
Doodle"

Great Quantities.
THE INDUSTRY IN IT'S INFANCY
And the Possibilities OF the Future
Unlimitcd-Furnaces Now Existing.
Tho Cost of Production Cheaper
than Anywhere in the United States.

va MANY varieties of iron ore are
INN found in West Virginia,
4 y which are smelted with both
coke and charcoal, The developments
have not been great, as it was notlnown
until recent years, when explorations
for iron resulted in the discoveryof rich
beds throughout the State, that such
vast quantities OF iron existed. New
discoveries are constantly being made.
The regions in which rich deposits of
iron exist are given as follows:
Siderite, commonly known as carbon
ate OF iron, clay iron stone, exists as fol-
lows: Mineral county and Grant coun-
ty, thin seams atseveral Localities; Three
Forks creek, Reedsville, Tunnelton and
Muddy creek, Preston county; pecker's
creek, Scott run, Booth creek, and Cheat
river, east part of Monongalia county;
Fairmont, Marion county; near mouth
OF Lost run and at Thornton, Taylor
county; near Phillippi, Barbour county;
Standing Rock fnn, worked byElkR Rail
road Iron Company; Clay county, Brax-
ton county; near Charleston, Kanawha
county; on Big Sandy river, at Cassville,
Wayne county, eight seams from one to
three feet thick. Workable beds in
Lower Coal Measures and Lower Barren
Measure.
OTHER VARIETIES.
Black band iron orc is found depos-
tied near Big Sandy river, Wayne coun-
ty; Davis and Briar creeks, Kanawha
county; Belle creek, Fayette county;
Little Elk Run, Nicholas county; Little
Sycamore creek of Elk river, Clay
county. /.
Fine hematite or fossil ore is found
on the north slope of East River noun
tain, Bluestone river on Black Oak
mountains, and Flat Top mountains,

1T should be stated that in the above

This lime is used in the furnace and
mined with the ore. The ore found
throughout the State will bear favorable
comparison with the Irondale product.
Before speaking further Of the de-
velopments that have been made in the
iron territories, it may be mentioned
that much OF the West Virginia iron
has been proven to be the best fitted
for the Basic process Of making steel.
Iron made at the Irondale Furnace for
a trial of this process for use Of the
Pennsylvania Steel Works, analysed as
follows.

Professor Dwight, Of Wheeling, COM
menting on the cheapness with which
iron can be made in Barbour county, re-
marks: 1.-THE labor item will depend on
the size Of the plant, but you may add
what interest for plant and extras you
may see proper, and it will still leave
the cost OF ton OF pig iron for below
what it can be produced for at any other
locality known to me-" This, it may be
said with truth, applies with equal force
to nearly every section OF West Virginia
where iron is. found in workable quanti-
ties.
The facts herein presented are enough
to show the superior advantages OF
West Virginia for the iron and steel in.
dustry II is naturally adapted to be:
come the great iron and steel centre OF
the world, and will at no distant day
take its place in the foremost rank OF
the producers. The development Of
this industry up to the present time has
been comparatively small, and has been
principally in and about Wheeling. The
business is constantly growing and
spreading, however, as the following
statement will show:

An Exciting Chase After the

Possibility of a Fight Between
the Charleston and
Esmeralda

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE fact Is no
longer concealed, even in official naval
circles, that the swift cruiser Charleston
is now OF on hot chase after the Chilean
transport ltata, which left San Diego last
Wednesday, while under arrest. and car
rylng of deputy United States marshal.
The ltata, after leaving San Diego, took
on board a consignment Of rifles aud am
munltion which had been shipped from
San Francisco on the schooner Robert and
Minnie. The transfer of cargo Is believe
TO have occurred Off Sacrament island.
northwest Of San Diego harbor, and il l.
believed that the ltata steamed south on
Friday night or Sa urday morning. The
Chilean cruiser Esmcralda is thought 10
be lying Of cape san Lucas, which is the
most southern olnt Of land OF Southern
California, awaiting the supplies carried
by the ltata. The sea run to that point
Is about zoo miles.
The Itata Is heavily loaded, and
although reported a very fast craft. IL is
estimated she cannot exceed six 10 eight
knots an hour, aud the Charleston, which
lett san Pedro this morning ID Is thought
certain can OYertake her or reach San
Lucas IN advance Of the transport. If not
found there the Charleston will proceed
direct To Acapulco which will be the
first point at which any further ntelll-
gence can be received
Even though the cruiser E>meralda is

stood that the orders Of the Charleston
are explicit on the point Of capture. aud
