The Democratic county convention

The Democratic county convention,
which was balloting for choice fol
{ mi place on the constitutional con-
V, .tion ticket when our report close
last Wednesday, did its work well in
n iming Hon. w. A. Anderson, OF Lex
ington, and Mr.. ]. W. Gilmore, OF Nat
ural Bridge, as its candidates. The
first ,mel gentleman is peculiarly
well f1ed to discharge the trust his
fellow. countymen would lay upon him
by his deep learning in the law. his
well defined views and his ability to
express them; and the latter is repre-
sentative of the great farming interests
of this section, a Ellin man OF the
p.cple WITH decided but conservative
opinions, who will look to the welfare
Of all the people all the time. The
electo ate of Rockbridge by endorsing
this ticket will place the common weal
in worthy, tried and true hands, and
we may rest assured that no class will
suffer by the votes Of Anderson and
Gilmore.

the candidates have no decided pre-

gist and mining expert OF worldwide reputa-
ton, Professor Benjamin Silliman, who
spent several months there, then being con
nected with the United States Surveying
Corps, and in his official report says;
"Here are countless millions OF tons OF
rich GOLD quartz reduced by the great forces
Of nature to condition ready for the appli-
cation OF the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed OF the Rio Grandt for over 40
miles Is siuice, on the bars OF which the
gold derived from the wearing away OF the
gravel banks has been accommodating for
countless ages, and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods OF
river mining. The thickness Of the Rio
Grande gold gravel exceed In many places
600 feet, or nearly three times that Of the
like beds in California, while the average
value per cubic yard Is believed to be greater
in the New Mexico beds than In any other
such accumulations vet discovered.
II have made reconnaissance OF the whole
Of this gravel along the Rio Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible In
the time at my command the character OF
the gravel and its contents OF gold. Moth
ing. | am persuaded, since the discovery of
California and Australia, Is comparable for
its measurable resources OF gold available
