WASHINGTON, May 2S-Represen
tatives OF the Geological survey are
TO visit the rich manganese property
OF Colonel Robert A. Miller which ID
situated in the Virginia mountains
not far from Bluefeld and II is proba.
4 bic that the government may elect "a
virtually take over control OF the
property. or, at any rate, take a hand
IN md-e rapidly developing Il to
| greatly increase the output.
Col Miller has been in Washington
/ for a week in conference with various
government officials and will cheerful
I ly cooperate with them In whatever
| il is decided 10 do with his highly val.
liable property said 10 be the richest
deposit OF its kind that has ever been
discovered in the United States. The
bulk OF manganese tonnage heretofore
has been imported into this country
from Brazil Il is a necessity in the
manufacture OF steel and munitions,
and the demand for II since the war
started in Europe has sent up the
price OF It 10 an amazing figure com.
pared with what II was formerly mar.
keted for.
There is a strong probability that
as a result OF the negotiations, the
government will in a way, become a
partner OF Colonel Miller in this prop
erty and will control the policy OF its
development. leaving 10 Colonel NIL

ditions than have heretofore prevail.
ed. The installation Of an electric
smelling plant at the mine is one Of
the probabilities under consideration,
the construction Of a tramway Is also
another improvement in prospect.
II is said by those who are in a po'
sition TO know that in a years time,
Colonel Miller. who discovered this
rich mine while prospecting in the
Virginia mountains. has risen from
comparaSSye poverty to be one Of the
richest men in Bluefeld. He has
spent lifetime prospecting for min
erals, has amassed several moderate
sized fortunes in his time, but his last
discovery is far and away a richer
field than any Of his previous sue
cesses.
W. S. Clark OF Mcdowell county
son OF Or. Clark OF Kyle, and H. r.
Jarrett OF Hun. Mercer county, have
qualified for the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. These two men were ap-
pointed cadets upon the recommen-
