' a ' - ; A.bout 300 yards further, in ; the same (s6uthwest) direction another vein has been opened which is 1 about one foot wide at the surface.11, "In -a spur, or ridge; -running toward the creek, a little to the north of the veins above mentioned three parallel veins and one cross vein 'have been discovered and opened; while several others liave - been located but not opened' Oh the ' southwest side 'of Big Hill two parallel ?veins have been opened: At the;foot of big Hill there is a beautiful site for concentrating smelting works with waterpower into the creek. - It may ba safely 1 said that large and rich deposits of cassiterite as well as tinstone will be found' in the localities described: " The rare metal is present and has been -extracted from the ore. It is in the true for - mation saurentian granite. About Rick Veins Struck in the Blue A Inchburg letter to thehila-' delphiaJ Record 1 writes , as follows about the tin discoveries in Virginia I : . AbpUt twa years ago Btatling an nouncement was ,' made that u very rich deposits of tin ore had been dig coveted in the Biue,Ridge mountains. Prospecling .rbega a4 once, and it was found that the. ore belt extended several miles v in . a northwest ! Anr! south, west course,5 and j was a ;miie,ori more in wiatn. Tne principals body of the ore so far as known is in the high ridges or mountains . on both sides of Irish Creek, in Rockbridge county, about eighteen miles from the Shenandoah -Valley railroad, at Vesuvius depot, and twenty miles from Lexington. : Irish Creek - is a bold, rapid stream, affording a never failing and abundant supply of wa ter. The fall is so great that the water caq be utilized again and again at short intervals. There are several saw and grift mills which now derive their motive power from this stream. The valley of the creek, though nar row affords plenty of space for. the erection of stamping mills and other machinery required in concentrating the tin ores preparatory to their bet ing put into the smelting ; furnace. The mountain sides are covered with a heavy forest growth, and will furs nisn an aounaant supply ot timber of Irish Creek rise to a height of irom sw to i,uuu teet above the level of the stream, and are generally, very DreciDitoas. iThe soil on thesA main tain slopes .isj6nderfil.'ricn;pros ducing .without fertilizers large props of the fiaest tobacco) ?orn, f wheat, rye, oats and potatoes. ,; A shaft has been sunk about twenty or thirty feet above asmall brancfe of Irish Greek. Here the ore, appears in the forea of a pure tnd rich cassiterite, narrow veins of which permeate the whole formation to a width of some Corty feet -or more. Near the top or , the mountain a shaft has penetrated the deposit about fifty feet, and a draft has Jbeen driven from 150 to 201 feet. Here the vein is from: four to ten feet wide, and runs as high as 6$ r to 70 peroent. of metallic tin the average percentage as per analysis between tbe walls is-31 per cent. i : J . About three-quarters of a mtle from the above mentioned deposit, in a southwesterly direction, three other openings have been made near to gether. These openings are near the summit of a high ridge, on tiae oppo site side of the little stream from the one first described. Whether the two have an v close connection has Knot yet been determined; , One ,of iiaeso upeuiug.un tats, nuge , snows a section of what appears to be a reg nlar vein of very pure tinstone about two feet wide, A trench has been cut across the vein to a depth of sev eral feet and about three feet - wide which shows on'that muchjof the vein in length. But the two other : open, ings also show one of the same char acter and equally rich, thus proving that the vein extends considerably beyond the . 'first trench,' though a it may not be a -continuous or unbroken one. . The evidence is conclusive that there is a valuable deposit of rich tin ore and that the quantity is consider able. Some of the ; specimens from this deposit, : I am informed;? yield very nearly or quite 70 per cent, of wbezamc un.

Some of the surface openings have also been made by ; these parties : in a northeasterly direction, in. which, it is said,itin:bre has been founds 1 : i Immediately adjoining the Cash property, from.: the . summit of the mountain down to the creek; and anroRS it to the summit on the other side, in a southwesterly: course,', are xne urau(v auu , .uiuef,; uiuua wuicu have been extensively prospected by the LKpbertson Brot hers of Lynch- burg. These lands, covering about i;O00 acres, reach entirely across the tin belt so far as it is known to exist In one section of this block, on , the northwest side of Irish Creek, known as Mount Maria; embracing abot six ty acres, eighteen distinct veins have been opened,' in all of .which the or e has yielded more or less of tin.; Most of these veins? have been traced for the greater part of the entire distance across the? mountain from base to base, and several of them have been opened by cross , trenches, shafts or tunnels at a .'number of point3.
