MINES BEING,

Modern Mining Operations
Used to Search for
Hidden Wealth
FREDERICKSBURG, Va,

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Nov.
81. Attempts to determine
whether a field of untouched
wealth lies at the lower levels OF
Virginia'S gold belt are being
made near here, where approx
mately $50 men are engaged in
four operations.
Interested in the new movement
in Americas earliest discovered
gold deposits are the Benedum-
Tress interests of Pittsburgh,
widely known for their operations
in gas and oil fields In the United
States, who own or have the
mineral rights purchased or op.
toned on about 5000 acres and
who are conducting two separate
operations now under way.
Other Operations
Another operation is being car
ried on by the Great North Ameri-
can Mining Company, a Boston
concern which has similar opera,
tions in other parts of the United
States. The Rapidan Gold Cor
poration, chartered locally but
backed largely by New York capl-
talists, is operating still another.
The Rapidan Corporation has
been working its deposits for the
past two years and, since last
February, has been milling ore
and grinding concentrates at the
old Vaucluse, is miles west OF
here. While mining company Of
ficials will not give out the ounce
return Of gold per ton of con-
centrates, they say results are
satisfactory. The ore being ground
at the company's plant assays
about S. per ton, it is stated.
The Benedums apparently are
not concerning themselves with
the ore deposits near the surface
but are working steadily to lower
levels. Although they have been
operating for nearly a year, the
Benedums so far have not put in
any machinery for crushing ore.
At the Franklin Mine, one of
the Benedum projects, in Fau-
quler county, a short distance
northwest of here, the shaft al
ready has reached a depth Of 215
feet and will be driven to the 300
foot level before drifts" for min
ing purposes are made. A num-
ber of test and experimental
drifts have been made at higher
levels and the ore taken out has
assayed satisfactorily.
At MeIba Mine
AT the Melba Mine, about 16
miles west of here and not far
from the famous Vaucluse, the
Benedums have reached the 1875
foot level with q three compart-
ment shaft, the walls of which
are cOncreted from top to bottom.
The Great North American
Company is operating on what
is known as the United States
tract, once the property Of

years OW4AcO ny GA4C OA4AUOA 0U0VO0
Government.
No stock has been sold by any
of the concerns engaged in the
field with the exception of the
Rapidan. The stock holders in
that total only IS individuals,
about five of whom are local
men.
The Virginia "gold rush" is not
new. It has been going on sporad-
ically ever since Thomas Jeffer'
son, in 1882, found a nugget in
the Rappahannock river weighing
"17 pennyweight." However, pro-
duction on any considerable scale
was not started until about 1928
Records show that the Virginia
Mining Company, of New York,
operating the st. Just Mine, in
Orange, produced $10l, 900 in gold

Americas claims to larger navy

said:

delegates to return and that the

to be little of the controversial in
the nature, which is rather devo-
