GOLD
Said 10 Have Been Discovered
In Floyd County.


Several days ago an article was
published in the Richmond Dispatch
concerning the finding of rich gold
deposits in Floyd county. a few
lays ago the following from gentle
man in Floyd with regard to the dis
covery was received, says the Radford
Adrance. From it it will be seen
that there is perhaps good ground for
the belief that gold in paying guam
titles has been located. If so it will
mean a great deal for the favored sec
ton. 1t has long been the belief of
prospectors and residents OF this
county that gold as well as other
valuable minerals existed there, but
they have never found them in large
enough quantities to make it pay to
give them attention. The writer
from Floyd says:
1.-THE discovery of gold recently
made near here by DIR. |. Z. Huff
promises to prove more valuable,
both as to quality and quantity, than
was at first expected. 1t has been
most favorably reported upon by
parties representing both northern
and western capitalists. Some Of
the ore will be tested by Virginia ex-
rerts also. DIR. Huff has received
communications from several sources
relative to the find, and it is proba BILE
that matters will soon shape them
selves so as to render possible an
early working of the claim. The
area of the gold hearing quasiz COW
ers many acres and considerable gold
exists in the adjoining branch. The
leads are broad aid continuous, with
no indication whatever of being
"pockety." There is little doubt
that Floyd county is rich in minerals,
and that there are good reasons for
believing that gold is especially plen-
tiful. Dr. Huff's finds may prove to
be only the beginning of a series of
similar discoveries. 1t seems, at this
writing, highly improbable that he
will experience any difficulty in secur-
ing the help necessary for working
the find, since it is generally conced-
ed to be highly valuable one"

TIE report Of Commissioner o

The report Of Commissioners Of
Agriculture Koiner viii, it is said,
be one Of the most interesting and
complete documents Of that character
ever issued in the history Of the
State. In speaking of the natural
advantages Of Virginia he says:
"This State offers more to the
farmer in the various lines Of his CAL
ling than any other in the Union.
She ia far enough South to escape
the long cold winters and blizzards Of
the West and North and far enough
North to escape the hot and dry sum-
mers Of tho South. Her climate and
SEASONS srs the best Of I'll the States. !"

A so.CALLED "divine healer" has
hypnotized, or illusionized, or other
wise crazed number of people in
Knoxville. The extent to which this
absurd craze has gone is evidenced
by the fact that rumor that the
"divine healer" was going to walk on
the water caused crowd to assemble
on the bank OF the river in that city
Sunday after noon. Of course the
fakir did not appear to undertake the
experiment.

Hon. w. D. Smith.

Southwest Virginia will, no doubt,
be represented on the next State
ticket.
For Lieutenant Governor we pro-
pose the name of the Honorable W.
ID. Smith.
lie is typical Southwest Virgin
ian and well worthy Of any honor the
people of Virginia may confer upon
him.
There was a time when the Woods
family dominated the politics of Scott
County and it always went very
largely Republican, but when W. D.
Smith took charge of party affairs
for Democracy in that County the
tables were turned, and old Scott now
always rolls up a handsome Demo
cratic majority.
During Rhea's canvas his was the
master mind that directed affairs; and
won such a glorious victory.
We think such unsel6sh devotion
to party should not 90 without Its
reward, and We know if the Demo-
Gratis of this section are allowed to
name their representative on the
State ticket the unanimous choice
will be w. d. Smith Of Scott county.
TIE British have adopted a system
of transmitting messages by electric
flashes from balloons carrying incan-
descent lights and connected with a
station on the ground beneath, which
it is claimed will be OF iicalculable
service in field operations such as
they will have to conduct in their
war with the Beers of South Africa.
1t is said these lights can be read at
night for one hundred miles, and in
this way the commander-in-chief can
issue such orders to his subordinates
as will enable a large army scattered
over considerable territory to act In
concert the same as if all were under
the immediate eye of the commander.
The Beers may have just as effective
a system OF communication, but un-
like the British they are not giving
the world the benefit of their secrets.

Important Change.

The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany will put on through train between
Winnipeg and St. Paul, OH March 18th,
according to latest reports from the head
offac. What other changes this will bring
about is not yet known. 1t is probable
that the mail clerks as we'll as the express
force will rum through without change.
No material change in time will take
place as far as Pembina is concerned,
save the train from the mort will arrive
here two hours later, which will make it
possible to go to Winnipeg and return
the same day. Besides this train new
overland train between St. Paul and the
coast will be put on to compete with the
Great Northern fast train, that is suppos-
ed to make better time than the latter.
The Northern Pacific never was outdone
by it rivals heretofore and it is safe to say
that their contemplated move will be
carried into effect with results as in
tended.
