Recently the TIMES printed news
items to the effect that the Norfolk
and Western Railroad was negotiat?
ing for the purchase of a number of
iron mines in Cuba.
It was stated that the intention ot
the company was to import these ore?
to the United States to be used in the
manufacture of Bos-einor steel. It
was thought that ho Cuban ere
would mix well with that ruined ir.
Southwest Virginia, j id the'expen?<
of bringing if. to the rirnacesin xSfl'it
section would be vet ' small as tin
great majority of the jars that earn
coal to Lamberts Per i are returnee
empty. They might iust as well re?
turn loaded.
In the Philadelphia Pres.-, of yester?
day was presented an article regard?
ing the recent concession granted by
the Spanish government to a number
of Philadelphians ..nd others to
develop the iron and other mineral
ileposits of the island >f Cuba.
The Spanish government, by a
special law, has exempted iron mines
from taxation, removing the duty on
the exportation of ores; allowed the
free entry of all machinery, railroad
and other material requisite for theii
proper development?and has, both
officially and individually, assured
American representatives of their full
support and co-opc-ation in any
operations started by Americans.
Cuba has been known for a iong
tune, as having line iron ore, and
several months ago a company was
formed known as the Sigua Iron
Company, to develop ' he iron ore of
Cuba. The principal men interested
are: E. W. Clark A Co., B. Frank
Clyde, Samuel A. Crozer, John
Thomas, A. J. Dull, George
F. Tyler, Sidney F. Tyler, Henry
Levis _ Co., .John H. Lennig, Stuart

Clarence M. Clark, (tattle A Nye,
Cleveland; Edward V. D'lnvillers,
William T. Tiers. J. D. Sergeant,
Virginia Development Company, Se-|
coud Virginia Syndicate, Virginia In-i
vestment Association. The officers of
the company are: S. <i. Chauvenet, I
president; Thomas H. Graham, viee-j
president; Georg? F. Faker, secretary
anil treasurer; Captain I). D. Greene, |
chief engineer.
The mines are about 22 miles east of j
Santiago, on the sou'h side of the j
island and are in the Sierra Maestra j
Mountains. The Signa Alines were
discovered some time ago, but it was
not until the present year that the
owners were successful in interesting
the necessary capital to develop them.
The capital of the new company is t
$5,000,000 folly subscribed. Last win- i
ter a syndicate was forrueil by Ed-;
tnuud D. Smith, and <t committee re-j
presenting the syndicate visited Cuba,
and after a careful examination made
a favorable report on "he property on
which they held an option
The deposit of oie I- ah ubuve tide?
water, and requiri' '; simply open
quarrying. The cost o getting the ore
out, bringing it a sb rt distance of.
seven or eight miles over the com
pany's own railroud t ? the coast, and
thence transporting it in steamers to
United States ports, v ill be very low.
The company's engineer has located
a railroad from the mines to the
mouth of the Sigua river, at which
point it is proposed to put in a break?
water and make a s.-tfe harbor for
seagoing steamers. The companj
have also purchased some 38,000
acres of land in and ar und the miues,
giving them, in tl is possession,
twelve miles of seacoi it.
The company expect < to begin ship- j
ments of ore early m t year. There !
are two plans for thf transportation j
of the ore to the. Unit j. States por<s: (
one is by raefns ? . ocean-going j
steamers that are cl trtered by the
mouth, and the othe-s by means of
barges made of ste. l on a new
principle, and lately initiated in the
Lake Superior trade on the great
lakes. Two of these barges are now
beingcon6trncted in I^ew York at the
Erie basin, and the result of these ex?
periments will be followfld with inter?
est by every one interested in the
transportation business.
The iron experts selected by the
Sigua Iron Company in their report
characterize the Sign* mines as "one
immense deposit," wi*h ore outcrop
ping in bold and prominent ledges.
They estimate the ore termed
"actually in sight," or what might be
considered developed ore, as 1,200,000
tons. _____
A Large Glnxs Broken.
Monday night abou' 1 o'clock, CID
cers Browning and Wade noticed a |
crowd of three or four colored men |
moving suspiciously tip Earnest ave
nue from Boon's grocery store on
Commerce street, and suspecting that
they had stolen someihing from that
store, went to Mr. Walter Boon's
room near by and related the circum?
stances.
An examination revealed the fact
that a large glass had been broken
from the front door of the ware
room. There were also unmistakable
signs that meat had been taken
through the opening. They hoped
to find some of the miscreants, but
no one was found.
In this room was stored many
pounds of cured meat, but it was im?
possible for the Messrs. Boon to esti?
mate how much was ?.'olen.
The police think thoy have a cluf
to tne guilty parties, and hope tc
bring them to justice in the near
future.
The Messrs. Boon have decided to
sleep in the store hereafter.

Fight nctwot.1 Friends.
A peculiar fight occurred in the city
the other day between two parties,
perfectly sober, who had heretofore
been considered the staunchest of
friends. It seems that one had re?
turned to tho city after a long absence,
and meeting his chum, the chum said
that he was delighted to see him, but
was sorry he didn't postpone his visit
until winter, and then said something
about feet. The visiting ? friend was
peculiarly sensative, and, a* a matter,
of course, knocked down his friend a

SEVENTY FEET.
THE MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF
BURTON SIMPSON.
TWO OTHERS INJURED BT HIS FALL
from the Top of tlx- West End Fur?
nace to the Fit Below?HeJConies Iii
Contact With Two Other* in Hi
! Denceiit. Thun Saving His Mfe.
Mr. Burton Simpson, a workman a*
the West End furnace, yesterday
morning fell from the top of one of
the hot air furnaces to the bottom of
the pit, a distance of 70 feet, receiv?
ing very serious injuries.
A large ladder was '-eing construct?
ed from the ground to the top of th<
furnace, and it was *iot q"ite ''om
pleted. Mr. Simpson tarted to climb
this ladder, and had . -ached ihe ton
most round, which, n dike the others,
had not been bolted own. As soon
as ho grasped it, it ga -e way and pre?
cipitated the man ba? icwards.
The ladder is alm. st perpendicu?
lar, and there was no.hing to break
the terrible fall until he was within
fifteen feet of the ground. At this
point a laborer was standing,
and Burton struck iiim full force
on the head and shoulders, both beinp
thrown to the pit. This was all thai
saved the man's life, i: indeed hedoe?
recover, for where he landed was a
mass of brick and lumber and if the
fall had not been checked death
wouid have been instantaneous.
Just before the laborer was struck.
Porter Carter, the colored water bov,
was standing about half way up the
ladder and the piece of plank which
Jones still clung to strack him on the
head and knocked him over against a
piece of iron which broke his right
arm and fracturing two ribs in the
right side.
Drs. Gale and Fry were summoned
and dressed the wounds of the injured
men after which they were removed
to this city. The three men are doing ,
as well as could be expected, though
Simpson and the water boy are ser?
iously injured.
Later?Simpson's injuries are not
necessarily dangerous, and he is doing
well with fair prospect of recovery.
BASE BALL NOTES. !
The Columbias, the finest amateur
club of Washington, will play a series
of four games here next week, begin?
ning on Wednesday.
Can't some one advise a plan by '
which to get our mascot to appear on
the din.mood in tin* early stage of the
game? In the last two games he did
not come out till the sixth inning.
Who ^as that that, tried to give
Ned Bolin the razzle-dazzle in Satur- ,
day's game while he was in the
coacher's box? Such guying as that
is, to say the least, ungentlemanly.
Kirby's leg that was hurt in the 1
game at Bedford City last mouth is <
improving very slowly and it is with
great difficulty that he can ruu bases, i
He will have more rest now and
doubtless soon be well.
Roanoko now has a team that she j
can well take pride in. With Wi^
moreon second and A'ex. Brodie at
short, in addition to the twojplayers
already mentioned, tue infield could
not well be improv d on. Every
point of the diaraoni will be weli
covered.
Probably the reason why Kirby ]
weighs only 125 pounds is that he
never pays any atten* on to the old
adage, "Laugh and grow fat." Jack
Beach, of the Phrobns, deserves the
thanks of all basebal' patrons in th's ,
city. He actually induced a smile to
play upon the usually placid counten?
ance of Brodie's catcher in Saturday's
game.
Pitcher Foreman, of the League,
says that his wife is a Jonah for him,
and that he has never pitched a win?
ning game when sh* was present.
Captain Wigmore car t say the sam*;,
for he never plays tetter ball than
when Mrs. Wigmore i present, and it
is seldom that she misses a game.
The fir-.me can be sa; 1 of Mrs Dolin.
She is Ed.'s Mascot.
Keefer is playing a -reat game be?
hind the bat. His ba k-stop work is
getting better every -lay. and espec?
ially is he good on th* o terrible drop
of Quarles. Quarles has the greatest
confidence in his ability to catch
them, and often when the bases are
full he makes the sphere drop a foot
in front of the plate, and the batter
invariably strikes at it.
Take Notice.
Remembered that the present char
ter of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, which the Supreme Court
of the United States, has decided to
be a contract with th" State of Louisi
ana and part of the constitution of
the State does not expire until the
first of January, 18QZ The Legisla?
ture of Louisiana, which adjourned
on the 10th of July oi this year, has
ordered an amendm-. nt to the eon

to the people at an t.ection in 1892,
which will carry the. charter of the

Promlucnt Capitalists.
The Pulaski News says: "Colonel
French, of West Virginia, and Hon.
S. W. Williams, of Wytheville, have
8urchased a two-thirds interest in the
owan Mineral property near Alii

ing the remaining int erest. The new
owners are arranging to commence
mining operations at an early day "
The property referral to lies within
a convenient distance both of the
Cripple Creek extension and its Reed
Island branch, and quite near the
famous Rich Hill property of Mr. D.
S. Forney, which is. now being ex?
tensively worked by the Crozer Iron
Company. It was partially developed
by the Radford Iron Company sev?
eral years ago and the ore proved to
be of superior quality. It can be
mined, washed and delivered f. o. b.
cars as cheaply, perhaps, as any ore
in the New River Valley.

lots, have determined to offer 1,800
lots for sale at $150 each, including
corner lots, in the fol'owing manner:
Lot clubs of KM) members each wiil
be formed. Each member thereof
paying $1.50 per week or $6 per
month until $150 is paid. Each mem?
ber will draw for a lot at the regular
weekly drawing, and one lot will be
drawn every week until 100 lots are
drawn. The two members drawing
the last two lots will get two lots each
instead of one.
The one drawing a lot can at any
time pay up on his lot and get a deed
to it, as'the compauy own their land
in fee simple; or he can pay one-third
cash, balance in one and two yearc,
and the company will allow such pur?
chaser 10 per cent, discount given on
his purchase.
A purchaser building, within six
months, a house costing not less than
?500, on his lot, will have a reduction
of 25 per cent, on his purchase, mak?
ing bis lot cost $112.50.
Several clubs will be organized in
this city, so that a member can join
one or more clubs, and draw in each
club weekly by the payment of one
dollar and"i$1.50) fifty cents in each
club. No iaterest is charged on these
payments whatever.
The land has been surveyed, laid
out in streets and the lots numbered.
The laid lies partially iu the rear of
the Roanoke College, c-nd half a mile
from the center of the town. Water
mains run through the land, side?
walks are also com emplated, and
pleasant homes, elo-e to business,
could be erected at small cost, either
as a homo for the o.vuer or to ront
out, as houses are in g.'eat demand in
Salem.
As a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, and enables one of small
means to secure property constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lot is drawn by
some one each week. Then you can
payr up on your lot after y.ou have
drawn, by paying one-third cash,
balance in one and two years, or as a
whole, at any time you may elect
within 18 months from the time you
joined the club, and secure the re?
ductions named above
Every member must pay his weekly
dues before he will be allowed to par?
ticipate in any draw ng. If absent,
some one will draw foi him, provided
his dues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made abou: this land, but
go to Salem and see it for yourself:
call on Mr. H. 6-, Brown, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
150. some few are 50x136. The lots are
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders it easy for the
men of small means to secure a home,
or make a paying investment, by the
exp?nditure of $1.50. per week. Salem
is a healthy, busy place, growing rap?
idly and presents more advantages foi
investment than any new town in the
State.
Every working man, be bis means
large or small, can go into this enter?
prise and secure a lot that will con?
tinue to increase in volue.

Baltimore & Ohio Land Company

& Co., the authorized * gents for Roan
oke City, Avho will fully explain the
manner of conducting the sale, and
can be found at their office from 8 a.
m. to 10 p. m.
There is no investment on which
one can realize so handsomely and at
so small a cost as to become a mem?
ber of the Baltimore & Ohio Lot
Clubs, unless it is to be a stockholder
in the Baltimore & Ohio Land Com?
pany. We cheerfully recommend
these lots to the public.
