VIRGINIA MINERALS.
A Syndicate 20 Operate the Iron Fur
naccs In tho Southwest.

To the Editor OF The Times:
sir;--It is a qualification to find one
paper In the state which deyotes so
much Of its space 70 making known The
material resources Of Virginia. Your re-
cent prediction that Southwest virginia
would soon witness the ~ catost deFcl-
opment Of the iron industry IN us Ms
tory. seems about TO be realized There
are. upon the line Of the Norfolk ana
Western Railway Company. from Bristol
20 Roanoke, and on tho Shenandoah VAL
lev branch. eleven iron furnaces. with
an aggregate capacity OF about sixteen
hundred tons OF pig iron per day. There
are indications that n strong syndicate
is about to secure control OF ali or
these and will soon pat them In blast.
Should this expectation be realized, Il
will mean infinitely more TO Southwest
Virginia than any other event or mo
mast twenty years. For the Norfolk
and Western Railway Company. It means
daily transportation OF thousands OF
tons of iron ore, limestone, coke. coal
and pig iron 10 the several communl-
ties i'm which the furnaces are located,
n means employment Tor hundreds OF
men at the furnaces, Che mines and
stone quartles and the consequent dis'rl-
button Of thousands OF dollars in wages,
TO the owners OF ore properties II means
handsome income from hitherto unpfO-
ductiye mountain lands. To illustrate
this last am told that one man In this
section received few years since, IA
royalty at nine cents per ton, over fif~
teen thousand dollars Cor iton ore taken
in about three years from less than three
acres OF ground, and now parties are
trying 70 lease his property on similar
terms
But this movement means development
OF other mineral resources besides Iron.
These hills contain immense sources Of
wealth IN other minerals and the dig
ginx OF iron ore. with tho profits there
from. will lead to prospecting for them.
IL IS known that gold, silver. copper,
lead. zinc, graphite. arsenic. oclircs, as
best0s. manganese and various other
minerals exist I'm good paying quantities
r. these mountains. Hitherto the owners
have been too poor 10 develop them But
IN recent years they have been making
and saving some money and can now.
in many cases. do developing work on
their own account Moreover, men OF
capital from other sections are begin
ming to inquire for good mineral proper
ties. and VIII invest In them. A gold
mining company has recently been incoF-
porated I'm this city. The writer has

SLAYER OF 85 BEARS
Other Champion Accomplishments o
 an Indian Nimrod

From the Century Magazine
 After Big Game With Packs" is the title of a paper by Captain James Cooper Aryes. U. s. A. The hunting expedition was made in 1893, and General Brooke took part in it.
 Our hunter and guide par excellence was Baptiste Garnier. or Little Bat" as he was generally called. He was five feet six inches tall: his frame Yas well knit; every muscle was developed; his lungs were as sound as an antelope's; his eye had the power of a microscopes; and a rifle had been his plaything since boyhood His father was French and his mother Indian, and he inherited the energy, bravery, and endurance of the old Canadian Voyageurs, with the remarkable observation and in- stinctive knowledge of topography and of the habits of animals of the aborigines of the plains. His mission in life seemed to be to kill, and probably his aggregate bag would surpass that of any other hunter in this country. He kept record only Of the bears he killed, and that record had then reached eeghty-live. Mir. Webb Hayes, son of the late ex-president, who was one of our party, called him the greatest hun ter in the world" 9is wonderful powers of trailing game were our admiration.
 He would ride along on his pony and oc= casionally make such remarks as Two mountain sheep crossed here yesterday. or "A blacktail deer and fawn passed along here this morning. and we would look in vain for a sign. He would trail a deer or an elk at a trot, and presently remark Hes over in those bushes," and, sure enough, there he would be.
 He had the true Indian tacturnity about his success as hunter. MT. Collins, of Omaha likes to tell the story of one of Bats elk hunts He was on a hunt with General Crook some years ago, and one afternoon strolled off alone and on foot. When he returned at dark MT. Collins said, Well, Bat, did you see anything?' Saw thirteen elk" was the reply, with an intonation that seemed to end the conver- sation. MT. Collins persevered: Did you get any of them?" "Yes, l got them" He had actually slaughtered the whole band of thirteen elk.
