MINERALS. ,, 



Whatever may be said of tlie capacity of this new mountain State for gen 

 eral agricultural industry, or for the special rural enterprises of so much pro- 

 mise as fruit-growing, wine-making, dairying, or wool production, it cannot be 

 denied that untold wealth is awaiting development in the hillsides, upon the 

 river banks, and in their beds, and deep in the bowels of the earth. Among 

 the minerals may be named coal, iron, lead, copper, silver, antimony, nickel, 

 borax, soda, alum, salt, lime, petroleum, and fire-clay. The denuding of the 

 surface by water or other agencies, and its excavation in deep and sometimes 

 precipitous ravines, through which its drainage is secured, lays bare the several 

 strata of rocks and minerals, brings to view the hidden treasures of the earth, 

 and renders mining easy, and facilitates the removal and distant transportation 

 of the precious deposits sought. 



A word or two, at the outset, should be bestowed on the great variety and re- 

 markable character of 



MINERAL SPRINGS. 



Mineral waters, in remarkable variety, exist in all portions of the valley, and 

 others still more noted and valuable are scattered among the mountain glades of 

 Greenbrier county. These, with those in Berkeley, are in West Virginia. 

 There are thennal, saline, carbonated, and sulphuretted waters, acidulous waters, 

 impregnated with carbonic acid, in some instances combining gas equal to one- 

 half of the amount of the water itself. Sulphur, iron, lime, magnesia, and other 

 elements, variously mingled, give these waters their peculiar characteristics of 

 color, taste, and medicinal effect. Professor William B. Rogers, former State 

 geologist, thus refers to them : " Viewed singly, in relation to the number, va- 

 riety, and high reputation of its mineral Avaters, this region is well entitled to 

 be proud of the vast resources of which it is possessed. Grouped, as these
