Virrinia Gold Mines.

Among the many gold mines not far
from the Rappahannock river at the
point where the Rapidan empties into
it are the Franklin, the Randolph, Lib
erty. Kelley, Pollard, WyokhOff and
Tedyard, in Fauquier county; the Rap
pahannock, the Eagle, Rattlesnake and
Monroe, in Stafford the Goodwin and
Gold Fiat, in Spotsylvania; the Vau-
cluse, Wilderness, Mulville, Grasty and
Whitehall, in Orange; the Powhatan,
Dry Bottom, Oulpeper, Enterprise, Ellis,
Eva and Pennsylvania, in Culpeper.
The principal form Of the gold found
in these mines is in pyrites of iron in
connection with sulphur an antimony.
Prof. ]. A. Holmes says Of these mines
in book recently published; 'These
gold fields are we'll worth development
for there are sufficient evidences Of q
remarkable output, and that of the
Virginia mines to date amount to
g. 200, ,000." Professor Ohouman. nearly
sixty years ago, said in his book of
practical mineralogy; There are nu-
merous goldhelds in Virginia and North
Carolina. which. il not equal to those
of California at present, will certainly
in the future, when properly worked,
be of much greater Importance. " Other
testimony is from Mr.. O. VS. Turner,
the mining expert. who. last year in
yestigated these goldfields, says in bis
report now on file "These mines are
certainly capable Of great outcome
the gold to great extent can be easily
mined "
