The Iron Mines.

Men who were supposed to be OK.

fnally became the general opinion
and not until Mr.. r. Hornick. known
wherever he goes as a man of tho
widest experience, recognized ability.
and thorough competence, made an
examination of the subject was it
discovered that instead of the iron
beng exhausted, there were new
helds and other stratas hitherto nm.

At once The Virginia Iron. Coal &

with MIR. flornlck AS superintendent
put a large force of men to work
mining the ore. New buildings were
hastily erected, confidence restored
and the outlook became brighter than
ever before.
Again in the old mines the busv
