Main street, in the boarding house con-
Quoted by i. i. Jenkins.
Young Brockenbrough retired about 9
o'clock Tuesday night. turning the key Of
the gas fixture around the whole way.
About 10 o'clock some ladies who occupied
an adjoining room scented the gas and
called TO MIN, asking him to see II the
gas was not escaping in his room. The
young man replied sleepily that il was
not. apparently without taking the pre-
caution to investigate.
When he did not arise a. his usual
hour, 6 o'clock, the servant in the house
went 10 awaken him and found him in an
unconscious condition BrockenbrOugh
had been breathing the Gas for nearly
nine hours. The ambulance surgeon was
at once summoned. and after hard work
succeeded In restoring the young man.
DR.. j. w. Henson was called In later,
and gradually brought the patient back
10 life. At late hour last night young
Brockenbrough was improving and was
thought to be out of danger. He Is Il

GOLDIN BUCKINGHAM.
Captain Cann Patte,on Tells of the Pros
pecU.

It is not altogether unlikely that the
good old county OF buckingham viii be
besieged before long with folks suffering
from the gold fever. \ short while ago
the press sent out statement, based
upon a letter from man in Bucklngh nam,
saving that the coveted metal was being
found in large quantities. This rumor mas
spread quite rapidly.
CAPTAIN Camm PatteSon. Of BucklnS-
ham. a member Of the House OF Delegates,
was in the city yesterday, and when asked
about the matter. said that the report
was true and that the gold belt is about
fifteen miles long and ten miles wide,
every stream in the belt being audiferous'
Captain Patteson stated that the sum
of 800 900 was earned in one year from
the Booker Mine. and nuggets were found
on the gold vein worth as much as SfvO.
Prior to the discovery of 1880. said he,
Buckingham gold was practically worth
less. by reason OF the difficulty in sepa-
rating the gold from the Sulphurets, with
which Il was mingled.
CAPTAIN PattesOn stated that several
mines were being worked in that vicinity
in a small, crude way, but with some
profit He thought that with the proper
machinery the working could be made
very profitable.
