This is my second visit to this coun-
try said Mr.. Monypenny 10 Post-Intei-
hgencer reporter yesterday. II was here
last year and shall return next summer.
IL has been my purpose to look into the
mining regions OF British Columbia and
incidentally 20 pick UP what Information
| could concerning the klondike gold
fields For this purpose / came to Seattle.
II was particularly impressed with the
Salmon river district The mines in that
region are very promising indeed and a
large amount Of development work is be-
ing done there. The Trail creek mines are
looking up Just now there IL a greater
interest than ever In England regarding
the mineral resources Of British Columbia
and the Pacific Northwest. The heavy OPP
orators in London are taking hold Of the
promising properties OF the kooienay and
developing them into wealth producers.
There Ia no doubt whatever In my mind
that the Pacific Northwest, including
Alaska and Northwest territory, will be
depended upon to add heavily TO the
worlds stores OF the precious metals dur
Ing the coming generations. The center
OF mining development and investment Is
now transferred to the Western hemis-
phere and Is located In this section. This
Is all comparatively new country. Little
or |. has been prospected. Mining men OF
note have declared that ii abounds in min
eral riches. There seems to be no doubt
but that here are found deposits OF the
precious metals as great as lie In any SIM
lar area on the globe. II II natural. there
fore. that capital should seek investment
In this country. and / am free to predict
that every year VIII see more and more
British money spent In the purchase and
development OF mines.
The Trail creek district will be the
scene OF heavy operations very soon and
the same may be said Of the Salmon river
and Boundary districts. All are full of
promise. The building Of the Canadian
Pacific into Rossland VIII facilitate devel-
opment and progress. and year after year
the legitimate enterprises will be secured
by capital and brought into producing
state.''

A thrilling drama. with a strongly de-

the frst act of ''T'he Pulea Of New York"
which opened at the Third Avenue theater
last night for a weeks engagement. At
the end OF the second act, however. the
impression that Il was a farce-comedy pre-
dominated. and at the close Of the third
act the audience went home, satisfied that
the play was. as the author stated, writ

arrived at.

Terrific Hail Storm.

Saturday evening last about 8 O clock.
most terrific hail storm visited the lower end
of the county. causing great destruction to
property and crops The storm started in the
Annex neighborhood, was about three quar-
tiers of mile wide, and extended to and be-
yond Fishersville An old resident OF the
county who lives at the latter place, informs
us that he has never witnessed such storm,
both for the size of the stones and the depth
to which they covered the ground. The
ground was covered, ne says, with stones
about the average size Of guinea eggs, while
many were much larger. An unusual siZeo
one measured inches in circumference AT
the time the storm broke on Fishersyille quite
large company of friends were assembled
at the late residence to attend the funera
services of Mr.. Hugh Fielding, and the panic
and fright among the horses and teams wa
| terrific Nearly every buggy and carnage tol
was torn into shreds and the frightened
horses pelted into madness. At the railroad
3depot, passenger train No. 6, eastbound,
charge CT Capt. Edgar Fitz, had every wlndoy
| pane smashed On the side exposed to tn
storm, SIS glasses being crushed. Our lnfor
mant states that in FishersYille and neigh
| borhood, there were from 500 to 800 window
glass broken. But the worst damage don
was to roofing, crops and fruit. The tree
we're stripped in many cases OF both leave
| and fruit and iron roofing as we'll as tin wa

est losers are j. R. Kemper, who loses larg

Curd lost field of wheat; D. A. and Fran
Bell lose heavily in crops and garden destroy
ed BENZ. F. Hildebrand crops greatly dan

losses we have been unable to learn. In
gardens of the neigh borhooe are totally de

to save their corn crops by cutting the stall
off close to the ground, while others intend

WAYNESBORO NEWS.

We of the beautiful valley Of the Shenan-
doah have often read accounts IN the news
paper of devastating floods, and destructive,
death-dealing tornadoes, most OF which
were located in the West, or, at least in
some remote part Of the world from our
supposedly safe haven under the shadows OF
the Blue Ridge. But at last we have had
taste OF the terrifying storm. On last Sat
urday afternoon the clouds began to gather
in the Northwest-a different arrangement
of the elements from their usual course, as
our summer storms generally come from
the Southwest, and this presaged no good to
the close observer of the weather indlca-
TONS The storm king approached slowly
but threateningly, and about 8 O'Clock, az
| ter it had apparently begun to rain all
around us, something began to fall which
sounded like rocks striking the houses
Looking out we saw hail stones as large
| certainly, as some small eggs.
| At first they fell scatteringly, but soor
came pell NELL, and abundantly. Lightning
and thunder, followed by the severest wind
made up a storm whose approach to VERT
liable cyclone was the nearest we have eve
had. Strange to say, however, but littl
damage was done to cur immediate neigh
borhood. Eighty-six window glass wer
broken out of the east-bound passenger trail
at Fishersviile, and some few houses sui
fered similarly here.
