The Iron Ores OF This Section.

From the report recently mad
in Washington for the geograph
cal survey by W. W. Price, we &c
the following of interest:
In the counties of Allegheny
Augusta, Rock bridge, Bath, Bote
tourt, and Craig, and to a less ex
tent in other Areas of Contra
Western Virginia, large deposits O.
brown iron ore Gre associated will
certain beds of the Silurian rock
The deposits are frequently over
laid by the Orkkanv sandstone and
lost observers have considered the
ores to be original deposits in that
formation, so that the term "Oris.
kany ores" has come into common
use. Careful examination, how.
ever, showthat the ores are replace
ments, mainly of the "Heldberg" or
Lewiston limestone, but also the
adjacent beds Of the Oriskany. As
a matter of convenience, the term
Oriskany ores may be retained,
although it is somewhat mislead-
ing.
In the face Of such conditions as
to brown ore supply it would seem
wise to commence active and care
full exploration Of the other two
classes of ores known to exist, in
workable quantities in the state.
These are-1. The Clinton red or
fossil ores of Western Virginia-2.
The magnetities of the Blue Ridge
and Piedmont districts. Neither
of these classes Of ores has as yet
been given proper consideration.
At present from 100000 to 20O,-
900 tons of ore are shipped into
Virginia furnaces from Tennessee,
North Carolina and the Lake Su-
perior districts. a fact which must
be borne in mind when comparing
the iron ore and pig iron statistics
given later. Lake Superior ore
costs from 8 to 10 cents per ton
per unit of iron when they reach
the Virginia furnaces, as compared
with three to five cents per ton per
unit for the native brown ores.
The iron ores Of this district are
brown ores, occurring in bed.shaped
deposits, continuous in length on
the outcrop for considerable dis
tances.
The ore bodies usually outcrop
on the southeast flank Of the ridg-
es from 200 to 400 feet above the
valley bottoms. Near the outcrop
they are overlain either by sand.
stones of Oriskany age or else d.
rectly by the Devonian black shale.
They are Immediately underlain in
most cases by bed Of cherry clay,
which in turn rests upon "Clinton"
sandstone or shale. As the ore
bodies are followed deeper it is
found that they thin somewhat and
that limestone appears in one or
both walls Of the deeper workings.
It is to be expected that finally
the ores will entirely disappear in
depth, their place being taken bv
continuous beds of limestone.

This boy was in line with the

dants are numerous, and a grand
SON still lives near the place.

land belongs to w G Miller, man
who has carefully preserved all the
land marks, and who has collected
from every available source all
that has been handed down con-
corning the fort and its destruc-
ton. His residence covers part of
the site of the fort, and the remain
der is enclosed in his yard. He has
destroyed nothing that has any his
torical interest, lie there were
more such caretakers Of the states
history our past would be better
preserved.
The fort stood on a bluff about
2 feet higher than the bottom land
of the river. On one side flows
brook, or rather channel where
brook now flows in wet weather.
In all probability water flowed there
all the time before the land was
cleared of its timber. The brook
was within Is steps of the wall OF
the fort, and without doubt those
who occupied the fort depended ON
the, brook for water.
It was a source Of agreeable sur
prise to me that was able to as.

we know so little of the sizes of the

imagination. The only picture Of
Fort Seybert | ever saw represents
it as a hollow quadrilateral enclos.

The Value of Time

} A Londer financier has lost a
fortune through missing train
by fraction of a minute.
A Nebraska MAI has lost a bride
from the same cause. The young
woman declared that she would
rather remain single than to be
worried all her life by a man so
slow us to be late at his own we'd
ding.
Many another, through slight
carelessness in keeping an appoint
ment has seen the opportunity of a
lifetime slip away.
As cents are to dollars. so are
minutes to hours, and the saving OF
both is an absolute necessity for
the attainment of success.
"Dost thou love life?" Then do
not squander time, for that is the
stuff life is made of.
Benjamin Franklin, who said
this, not only understood the
value of time, but he put a
price on it that made others appre-
ciate it's worth.
A customer who came one day to
Franklin,s little book store in
Philadelphia, not being satisfied
with the price demanded by the
clerk for book he wanted, de-
manded to see the proprietor. The
clerk pleaded that Mr. Franklin was
very busy in the press room, but
the customer insisted, and Franklin
summoned, hurried out,
"What is the lowest price you
will you take for this book, sir?"
asked the leisurely customer.
"One dollar and a yuarter," was
the prompt reply.
"What? Why your clerk asked
ME only a dollar just now"
"True.' said Franklin, sand |
could have better afforded to take
a dollar than leaye my work.
The customer thought him jok-
ing. "Comenow" he said laughing,
"vour lowest price for this book"
Zone dollar and half"
why man, you just said a dollar
and aquarter!"
"Yes, and l could better have
taken that than dollar and half
now"
The purchaser paid the higher
price.
At that, he had learned cheaply
from the greatest philosopher OF
of his day not only that he who
his own time is foolish,
but that he who wastes the time of
others is a thief.
This busy world does not wait
for laggards.
Success will meet no man half
way unless he is on time.
The habit Of promptness is a
priceless Observation-Disclosures

THE ROYAL WEDDING.
BrilIiancy Temporarily Forgotten In
Terrible Tragedy.

BrilIiancy Temporarily Forgotten In
Terrible Tragedy.
Thetragic event of the afternoon and
the narrow margin by which King Al
fonso and the new queen Of Spain es-
capped death has caused the brilliancy
of the royal wedding to be temporarily
forgotten, although it was to have in
augurated period of unprecedented
festivities Some of the wedding fea-
lures. however. were such as to fix
themselves indelibly upon the minds
of the spectators. One of the prettiest
sights was the tiny Prince Alfonso,
the actual heir to the throne, who &C
companied the king. The little orphan
of the Princess of Asturias, was clad
in knickerbockers of white silk and
reached only to the kings waist.
Bride Is Late.
King Alfonso reached the altar long
before Princess Victoria. The lengthy
wait which ensued led many to dread
an inopportune event. The king twice
arose on the throne and gazed stead
fdStly toward the UOOT. I1dIu1y an
arms length away was the American
special envoy, Frederick W. White
ridge, who, through chance or design,
occupied the most favorable position
of any in the assemblage. With him
sat Gen. Dalstein, the French envoy,
and alongside of him the envoy of
Morocco, a huge Othello swathed in
white, and next a Chinese mandarin.
United States Represented.
Republican simplicity never was
more strikingly exemplified. The Eu-
ropean courts were represented by
princes, most of them heirs to thrones,
while France, the United States and
the South and Central American re-
publics stood out with plain ENJOYS.
AS the ceremony closed King Al
fonso embraced his bride and her
mother This glimpse Of domestic
tenderness as we'll as the democratic
touch given by the presence of many
poor people in the galleries who were
there by the kings request, made the
scene effective, to which melancholy
sequel quickly succeeded.

Business men of Mcmillan are hunt

used the name of Kellogg while there
and said he was land speculato1
from Canada, and that he had 100000
acres of the finest land there.
1t was land with timber, minerals

made the $50 would be applied, other

He then refused more, although there
were many in sight. When he was
wanted he could not be found, and the

Washington, June Am outbreak
of crime by reds" is beginning. and
a concerted demonstration by an
archists in all parts of the world is
now going on, the secret service men
of this government believe.
The discovery yesterday in Oregon
of plot to kill President Roosevelt,
the attack on the king and queen Of
Spain, the renewed activities in Paris.
the jubilation at Paterson, N. j., head
quarters of American anarchists, and
the developments in Rome all prove
this, it is asserted.
Guard President Closer.
The accessibility of President Roose-
welt has long been an occasion for I'M
easiness among his friends, and it is
now probable that a closer guard will
be kept on him. He will be accompa-
MED by more secret service men, it is
expected, and restriction will be put
upon his journeys in and about Wash
ington and elsewhere.
The movement most feared is a
series of attempts on the lives of
rulers of great countries. This has
been advocated so often that it is
known to be one of the cherished
plans of the anarchist leaders.
Alarm in Chicago.
Chicago, June 4.-Cause for alarm
was found by the police, who have
been informed of the unusual activity
among anarchists, and yesterday they

Moral. When the police surrounded
the house the man attempted to fee,
but was captured. Another man es-
capped over the roofs of the houses.
According to an official statement It
is not known whether one or more
bombs were thrown. The statement
continues that it is impossible to as

outrage.
Kinq and Queen Tranquil.

Roosevelt at o'clock yesterday after
noon giving details concerning the at

Whiteridge went to the royal palace,
where he was assured that the king
and queen were reasonably tranquil
considering the circumstances.
Indignation Is Great.
The Indignation OF the people over
the outrage was very great. Some
French detectives were almost lynched
because they had foreign appear"
ance. After the outrage a visitors
book was opened at the palace. 1t was
signed during the afternoon by the for
eign princes, ENJOYS, diplomats, min
listers and officials Of all ranks The
mayor Of Madrid has posted an address
to the people stigmatizing the attempt
on the lives of the sovereigns as foul
outrage.
Many arrests have been made,
among them Manuel Duran, a Cata-
lonian, who is believed to have been
the principal conspirator.
