THE GOLD FIELDS OF VIRGINIA

There is an active interest now mani
tested ty northern capitalists in the gold
bearing properties OF Virginia, and there
is good reason to believe that's within a
short time large investments will be
made In this State for the development Of
the gold mining industry, or rather for
its revival, because prior to the rich finds
in California these mines responded pro-
fitabIy even to the crude methods of those
days. Wonderful progress has teen made
In late years in these methods, and now
under the cyanide and chlorination pro-
cesses Improbable and abandoned mines
are yielding fabulous fortunes, as in The
case OF the mines Of the Transvaal, de-
clared by biologists not to be comparable
to the gold bearing belt which stretches
from the Appomattox to the Potomac,
and which is phepomenally rich in Buck
ingham. Louisa and Orange counties
Indeed Maj. Jed Hotchkss, the we'll
known geologist, declares that this belt
Is the most important of all known de
posits, not excepting California, and Hon
John r. Proctor, one of the most emf
nent geologists in the world, bears high
testimony to its Value after careful per-
sonal inspection.
The production Of gold in Virginia Is
not merely matter of speculative inter
est. There are already organized and
equipped companies demonstrating the
profit and practicability of the industry,
and there seems to be nothing lacking to
make the goldhearng region OF Virginia
one continuous mining camp but conf
dence and capital. Under the new process
which science has provided within the
past few years confidence will soon be es-
tablished and capital will eagerly come
to the resc ue.-Petersburg Index. A ppeal.

TO-DAY'S ELECTION.

The election to-day will tell the story
as to who will represent this district In
the next Legislature Messrs. MeClana-
han and Hartwell have MADE excellent
use OF the time allo we'd them in their
brief canvass, and all the indications
point to their success at the polls to day.
The people are tired of political bossism
ana rii g rule, even on the small scale at
tempted in this district, and have made
up their minds that the most effective
rebuke which can he given such efforts
will be the election IF McClanahan and
Hartwell to represent them in the Vir-
ginia house OF delegates The boosted
Democratic majority claimed for this
city has fallen off gradually, until many
who estimated it at 300 votes will be
very we'll satisfied with 100 for only one
of their candidates. AS to Roanake
county, the conceded opposition majority
there of $50 has increased to 45O or 500,
while as to "little Craig" the alleged
Democratic stronghold, it is said by men
we'll acquainted with the situation that
Messrs. Hicks AMI Caldwell's plurality
will not he over $50 at the highest With
the city of Roanoke evenly divided and

we'll in Roanoke county thissswould elect
these candidates by over 200 majority,
or, what now seem likely, by still higher
figures. On the whole, the outlook for
the success of the independents is very
promising indeed, and that they will be
elected to the legislature by Substantial
majority seems we'll assured.

ENGLAND AND FRAME IN AFRICA

England and. France are just now I'M
der strained relations in regard to colo
NAL matters in West Africa. Great Bril-
tain is evidently in Egypt-to stay and
France has never ceased to regret her
abandonment of the joint occupation of
that country, She has, however, extended
her POSSESSIONS ia the. north and west
until considerable portion Ct that coun-
try watered by the Niger river has fallen
into her possession. This has brought
the French in contact with the British
Niger Copmany and agents Of the latter
are said to be inciting.the natives to re-
bellion. French troops have been dis
patched there. to meet them. This has
called forth protests. from both sides and
although negotiations for settlement
are in progress the French colonial min
lister, NJ. Lebon, does not hesitate to
state thata cardinal feature of his coun-
t-y's policy in Africa is the extension Of
French influence from.the west coast to
the Nile Valley and thence to Ethiopia.
AS England has already begun the recon
quest of the Soudan tie British and
French are mare than likely to come in
contact in some portions of the disput, d
territory, which would mean long and
bloody war between the two countries
1t seems that the contest for territory in
North America which was so long waged
between England and France THE last
century will be repeated in the next in
Africa.on more gigantic. scale; but as
Great Britain reaped all the benefits from
the efforts at French colonization in the
first instance, it is not at all unlikely
that the end will be practically the same
in the approaching struggle.

According to julius Chambers, OF the
New York Journal, who is doing the
Ohio campaign work for that great pa
per, mighty tide of confusion and tear
is sweeping through the ranks Of the
Hannaites o-day. This is all owing to
the fact that Hanna has made himself
both the issue and the platform 60 far
as partyis,n is concerned the Republicans
are solid. So far as Hannaism is con-
cnrned they are divided, and the division
is most furious one that will brook nei-
ther compromise nor arbitration. The
very facr that Hanna said that Foraker
could either do the right thing by him or

panion is perhaps one OF the most re-
markable features of the campaign. In
fact it cleans up anything ever before
