We learn from that excellent mining and industrial journal The Virginias. that the owners of the Craig Creek slate quarries in that State estimate that on the 5,000 acres of land bought by them there stands, where easy of access, oak timber enough for a quarter of a million railway ties. This land is well covered with white, chestnut and other oaks, white and yellow pine, and other varieties of timber trees.
