that In the mountains of Virginia were
gold mines Of considerable extent capa-

less than four counties OF the Old Do
minion have gold deposits that promise
to be great wealth producers in years to
come.
In an extensive survey OF the mineral
resources Of the State about two years
ago two gold veins were traced through
sixteen counties OF the State. from Fair
fax southwest 10 Halifax The gold was
found in two belts, which are described
IN the report as the eastern and western
belts The western belt passes through
Floyd County and Jhs counties 10 the
northeast and southwest Of Floyd. The
eastern belt begins about fourteen miles
west OF Washington. In Fairfax County,
and extends entirely across the, State to
the North Carolina line. The richest part
OF this belt is found in Gooehland, Flu
wanna, Louisa. and Buckingham coun-
ties, where the gold at several points is
known 10 be in paying quantities.

Long before California gold was heard
Of these belts were worked in a primi-
tive way. and some Of the wealth that
has come down through the families Of
the Old Dominion and is yet being en-
ioyed by the present generation was dug
from these ancient gold mines In all
the known mines Of the four counties
named gold was mined many years
before the civil war. Only the crudest
methods were adopted and the diggers

chinery 70 go deeper into the earth. The
gold obtained was sufficient to make
those early miners wealthy, aud so long
as they were few and so long as their
operations were carried on In semi
secrecy they amassed considerable wealth
for that day.
Before the surface gold was exhausted
gold was discovered IN California. the
gold fever overspread the country and
the less profitable mines Of Virginia
were abandoned. The war came IN a few
years, and it is only IL the last five or
