THE ' PocAhontas ".While the New York Hnald and several other papers in Uerent cities continue their merciless cru¬ sade again-t the projectors of the steamship lvobootas, the officers of the Arrow Com¬ pany are as positive as ever in asserting that it is their intention to make good all their promisee, and that the building of the ship is a foregone conclusion. The aspect of at- \A rs hereabouts continues unchanged, and, numbers still cling to the belief that will yet reap the fruition of their hopes, the number i<f pessimists is by no means small. The Herald of yesterday continued the pub icaliou of it.-- attacks upon the com- pacy. and charges that two cr three years ag Mr Fryer was just a* enthusiastic over « richeme U r building a floating thentro as be nuw is over the proposed I'ocahcutas. It says: "About two years ago Mr. Fryer went to Davor to plumb tbe New Opera House there, and succeeded in aettiug a number of pa pie in ten sv.i in the Pocabontas scheme. Am- thtm was Marlin V. B. Searing, the oldest and most successful builder in tbe town. He bought eonbicäeruble stock And sold on- hi< business to accept a position at a salary of $1,S00 a yi ar r.s purchasing ag* it far the Arrow Steamship Company. H::s on, M.Muuson Searing, took a block ofstock and was mad* treasurer of the company at ] a salary of J1,200 a year. A brother in law ol Munson Searing was given a position asa fonm.in of ihe yards at Alexandria at j }1 200. Edward C. Hard, au old gentleman j who had amassed considerable property from royalties on iron, was also a large in vtstor in tho enterprise, and as a reward for his liberality his pon, James L.

His son, Ora iT Thurber, a bookkeeper in tho Dover Bank at a" *a'ary of $1,000 a year, put his savirgs into Pocahontas stock, and was made under boc..,<keePer at Alexandria al $1,200 a year.

The company is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, and the stock is-non-assessable, and carries with it no personal liability to the holder. The Gold Mining Companv (icea*;on. Music Mountains, A. T,) is as sound a mining enterprise as was ever placed on the market, and its possibilities have never been exceeded. Every share should double in value within a year, and they may quadruple, as they are based on property that would ordinarily have been capitalized ten (10) times as great on account of its known richness and promise. The shares are made small so that any one can invest. Subscriptions for five shares are as welcome as those for hundreds. Every dollar of earnings will go to the stockholders in dividends, as there is nothing else that, they can be used for. A Wisewell mill, capacity 20 tons per day, with powerful machinery, has been purchased and will be on the ground ready for erection at the mine within the next thirty days. The solid basis upon which the company is founded and the practical proofs of the richness of the mine have already secured the confidence of the public, and the stock has steadily advanced in selling value Within the last few days bona fide sales have been made at par. There is no better stock on the market for a permanent investment. For full information in regard to this Mine apply to the SECRETARY, Room 40 Le Droit Building, Washington, D. C.

The capital stock of this company is $625,000, divided into f.25,000shares of $1 each.The company is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, and

the stock is-non-assessable, and carries with it no personal liability tothe holder.The Gold Mining Companv (icea*;on. Music Mountains, A. T,) is as

sound a mining enterprise as was ever placed on the market, and itspossibilities have never been exceeded. Every share should double invalue within a year, and they may quadruple, as they are based on

property that would ordinarily have been capitalized ten (10) times as

great on account of its known richness and promise.The shares are made small so that any one can invest. Subscriptions

for five shares are as welcome as those for hundreds.Every dollar of earnings will go to the stockholders in dividends, as

there is nothing else that, they can be used for.A Wisewell mill, capacity 20 tons per day, with powerful machinery,

has been purchased and will be on the ground ready for erection at themine within the next thirty days.The solid basis upon which the company is founded and the practical

proofs of the richness of the mine have already secured the confidenceof the public, and the stock has steadily advanced in selling valueWithin the last few days bona fide sales have been made at par.

There is no better stock on the market for a permanent investment.For full information in regard to this Mine apply to the
