RICHMOND GIRLS
DISCOVER GOLD
Misses Adair and Taylor Spent Their
Summer Prospecting and Now
Hold Options on Gold Field,

In walking skirts and heavy shoes Miss
Emily AdaIr and Miss Nena Taylor, of
No 3Ol South Third Street, have played
the role of prospectors in search OF gold
in the rugged mountains of West Vir-
ginia during the past summer, and
though since their return to the city they
have been discreetly quiet for prospectors
of their sex concerning their discovery,
the story follows them Of ..,er rich re-
warQs.
The young ladies have discovered rich
deposits Of the precious metal in the ore
laden mountains OF the State, and acting
upon this, have gone SO far as to secure
options upon several hundred acres of
land and 10 purchase outright other prop
crty upon which the ore they ,coyet is said
TO abound. The land lies in Sommers
county, ana adjons property owned by
Miss Adar's father, which has been in
the family for generations.
These young ladies We're spending the
summer at Red Sulphur Springs, and in
their rambles over the mountains Of that
section We're thrown in contact with a
party of wealthy capitalists from New
York, spending, the summer in the same
locality and incidentally topping the
mountain siGes for hidden treasure. Ine
gentlemen found evidences Of gold. and

often heard of the gold which was said to
be stored away in the mountains of her

She became enthusiastic and interested
Miss Taylor in the same prospect for i'm

to open to the world u nearer Klondke.

a disappointment, though it has in no.
wise discoura gcd the young ladies.
