Fourteen Miles of Richmond.
EGYPr, May 10, 1901.
To he Editor of he Dispatch:
Your wise and repeated advocacy Of the
DEVELOPMENT Of the earth's treasures which
kind and unerring providence has so pro
fusely bestowed on Virginia entltle you TO
the applause of all discerning and appre-
ciative people and your paper to the pa
tronage of every enterprising and pro-
Cressive man. 1t has encouraged me TO
write this and ask you 70 publish 1t rs the
harblnger Of an article ! will prepare inside
of one month after this, which will Of ne
cessity be more lengthy and in detail. In
my next | will endeavor, as far as my limit
ed ability will allow me, TO show and con-
vince the people of Richmond that gas of
ms high pressure can be tapped within
fourteen miles of Richmond as any that
has been tapped or ever will be tapped in
the United States, and that it will be
of as long duration, but the work OF
selecting a location TO bore should not be
intrusted to pretender or 10 q theoreti-
cal geologist, but TO a practical mining
engineer who Is not only capable and will
ing. but who has the energy to thoroughly
acquaint himself with the physiognomy
and geological features of the country for
radius of miles as well as the anticlinal
changes that may have taken place.
These anticlinal changes generally pro-
duce coaduniton of different substances
or compositions and the composition is
apt to be porous and to allow the gas to
escape undetected, but wide-awake
mining engineer will detect this and To-
cate his bore-holes a sufficient distance
from these antlclinal changes, as there are
always surface associations to indicate
their existence.
In my next article will try to convince
the people of Richmond and the public
that gas can be tapped and be seen four.
teen miles from Richmond in the most
brilliant Illuminating form and as dazzling
to the eye as the electric lights. Yours
truly, jon ATKINS, NJ. Z.

Honorary Members OF the Chamber of
Commerce.
~ IL r.r.,o.. n n J1s.,.,,oI

To The Editor Of he Dispatch:
The Chamber of Commerce of your city
having decided 10 elect honorary members
10 their body from among the citizens OF
the various counties of our State, so as to
encourage moro cordial business relation
ship between city and country people, &c,
! desire 10 express my sympathy IN the
move and to say to the progressive busi-
ness men of Richmond that IL must be
productive of good.
But il IS more especially my desire
through your widely-circulated paper to
urge our farmers to support the Chamber
of Commerce IN this effort, and that those
prominent cOuntrymen who shall have
been elected az members will heartily enter
the organization to promote our mutual
interests and for the general welfare of our
common country. | can assure my friends
that, from long acquaintance with the
originator of tins plan, | know that only
pure and unseltsh motives have prompted
hun. and that better acquaintance be-
tween those who must necessarily do busi-
ness with each other. will tend to obliterate
anu little ill-feellngs and jealousles which
may now exist. This having been accom-
plished we will more harmoniously work
together for such wholesome legislation
as our mutual interests demand. As an
example of this | would say 70 the people
of the great Valley of Virginia that Rich
mond wants your trade, and now realizes
that she cannot secure it under the pres
ent railroad determinations in favor of
Baltimore and other northern cities, so
that the indications are that the Rich
mond delegation in the next Legislature
will join with us in securing just and
equitable intrdstate-commerce law, such as
the farmers have so long been demanding.
Again l would say to the people of that
section of Virginia lying between Rich
mond and the mouth of the Potomac, a
country capable of the greatest agricul-
tural development, including the largest
area IN the State without railroad that
when you show the businessmen of Rich
mond what revenue they yearly lose for
want of communication that Richmond
capital may be enlisted to join this
estranged section With our capital city by
the steel rail and quick transportation.

SHEEP-RAlslNo.
How Virginia Landowners Nay Profit
by IL.

The following Ia an extract from letter
written to Vice President @. G.. Eddy, Of
the Norfolk aud Western Railroad Com
pany. by Mr.. L. J. Huling, of Albuquerque,
N. NJ, who Is great sheep-grower there
and in Virginia.
Your favor of the oath reached me few
days ago. and in reply ] will say: The
sheep enterprise IN which an interested
Is located in Halifax county. the nearest
railroad point being "Lennig" on the
Lynchburg and Durham railroad, about
torty miles south of Lynchburg. We have
about 800 acres Of land there, and believe
we have the foundation for prosperous
business in the sheep line. We took /, 100
head of choice sheep from the West about
December LIST last, and thus far have no
reason TO believe that they will not
prove profitable. We have had quite
number. Of sheep die. / hear, but
paration more than to any local cause. On
the cheap lands of Virginia and the South
in general, there is no reason why sheep
should not be grown as successfully and
more proftably than on Autographed
lands in the West. Living, labor, and all
items of expense are lower than in the
West; and while feed and forage are ma
turally higher, the increased profit of being
nearer market, we believe, Ovcrcomes this
bllt ibclus luD dNCibSt Whit ptllbu -
short, and with reasonable care sheep
raising can be made prosperous and OF
great benefit 10 the whole southern coun-
| try. Their value alone for fertilIzing the
worn-out lands of the old plantations is
| incalculable, and lands appreciate in value
after several years pasturing OF sheep on
them.
Wherever sheep-Rrowing has been made
q success it has enriched the country in
more ways than in the mere profit accruing
to the grower 1t is a good industry TO
| foster. Here in the West, on free grass,
| sheep are run at small expense, but losses
/ are large, and transportation to market so
| expensive that sheep can be grown fully as
successfully on land at s. to $40 per acre
as on free grass. Then, ranges are be-
coming more and more restricted every
| year. and ~ this becomes more so farmers
/ will find sheep more and more profitable
/ in smaller bands.
viii odd, in the way Of general remarks,
| that from now forward beef Will be higher
priced on account of the restricted ranges
/ and periodical large losses in heavy cattle.
| Farmers will be unable to produce cattle
| at the prices which range-cattle have been
selling at and while steers cannot be ma
| tured in less than three years sheep are
marketable in large quantities from the
age of four months until too old Tor
service. And there is no other animal IN
existence which will give its increase and
| pay for its keeping and interest on the In.
