Buys Up the Land.

Mr. Miller Immediately began to buy
up the sections of land in West Vir-
ginia where tests showed the mineral
to be plentiful. He today has options
or is actual owner of 142 miles of onyx
land in various parts of the south
western part of the state The bowld-
ers in these sections show a strata
from IS to 80 feet wide. 1t is estima-
ted that the sections contain over ten
million yards of the mineral.
Mr.. Miller is negotiating for some
very large contracts in a nearby city.
It is believed that the plant will be in
operation in time to fill them.

TO.DEVELOP ONYX FIELDS
r.. B.s,Miller VIII Form Company
to Work Southern Part Of State
LOCATED At HARPERS FERRY
Neighboring Town Selected As Site Of
Works for Preparing Mineral
for Market.

1t is likely that company viii be
formed for the development of the
ONYX tracts in the southwestern part
OF West Virginia soon. Mr.. r. d.
Miller, of Martinsburg, mining en-
gineer, has large holdings in that part
Of the state and is interested in the
formation Of such a company. 1t has
been decided that the company will
have its headquarters at Harpers
Ferry. Negotiations are in PROCESS
looking towards the acquisition Of
quarters on Virginia Island.
One Company Formed.
Mr.. Miller has been interested in
the development of this mineral for a
number OF years. He succeeded in
getting one company started. It is
known as the Columbus Onyx COM
pany and has headquarters at Colum-
bus, Ohio. Nothing has been done by
1t. however, toward carrying out its
part Of the contract with Mr.. Miller
and so Mr.. Miller proposes to organize
another company to develop other
lands which are not covered by his
contract with the Columbus people.
Mr.. Miller became interested in the
ONYX fields of West Virginia about
eighteen years ago, In September of
the year 1889 a piece of rock was
brought to him The finder said It
was sulphate of barium Miller kept
the piece with him for a number of
years. He finally had it tested and
found to his surprise that it was onyx.
About that time, too, he saw a piece
of white onyx with a high polish and
some in the rough The similarity to
the piece in his possession caught his
attention. He took the piece he had
to an expert in New York city. The
latter nrOnounced IL ONYX

man while out at Cobbosseeccntee last
sunday. The young man owns a
launch and as he was going down the
lake on a trip he thought he would take
his shotgun along with him. The
thought that Sunday was close time
never occurred to him and when he
saw a SHINE fly over the boat he took
a shot at the bird, but missed. Not
lonr after that he ran across another
man. and as the newcomer wore a
shooting Jacket ard had two ducks in
his pocket the men fell TO talking, hrSt
about the weather and then about
game. during which the newcomer
called forth from the other the fact
that he had shot at a snipe. but missed
it. 1t was then that the scales fell from
the launch-uwner's eyes and he became
aware that he was up against II, so 10
speak. The other man was a warden
and the ducks which he had in MS
pocket were some which he had seized
from another unfortunate who had for
gotten that it was Sunday. The snipe
shooter settled next day. but it cost
him Tho best part of a ten-dollar bill
to pay the fine and costs. in addition
