T Land of this Company eonslsta of 120 Acres, In ecklenbnrg county. North Carolina, ih miles from the town of Charlotte, on a branch of Sugar Creek, which stream furalrhet goed water-pewer for grinding the ores. This Mine was first opened in. 18.' by a man named Car son, .who worked It successfully for a number of years He died In the town of Charlotte, In 1846, worth over hall a million dollars. 1 wo shafts have been sunk on this property, one of them feet, the other 60 feet, on different veins, averaging from two to three feet In thickness, which veins still continue on down Increasing In width and richness. These shafts aro In good order, and ore can be readily taken out at anytime. Other veins have been discovered on this property, and tested, and proved to be very rich In gold. The arcs of this mine are known as the brewn ore, and very rich, yielding readily $1 perbushcL This Is believed to be one of the b, stand most certain mines In the State, on account of the abun dance and quullty ot the ore, and the cae with which It is obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Major Z A. Grlor from 1840 to the breaking 'out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and Intend to erect machinery and ant the mines In Immediate opeiatlon. Tbe tsany advantages of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. I t.ls more readily reached, and haslabundance of fuel, with cheap labor, it can be worked all the year, and not, as In the case of Colorado and Nevada, be compelled to Ho Id a for three or lour months In consequence of tlie severity of the winter. I his mine having been worked tor a long time proved to be a rich paving one. We do not, therefore, have to incur tne risk there is In an undeveloped property, but can count on large and Immediate returns on the Invest ments. Having an ore thatrcadty yields ten dolliirapcr bushel, some estimnte can be made of the value ot tills property. With the present Imperfect system of mining In this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, tea tons ot this oio can be taken aut dally from every short opened. Estimating, say tl.'teen bustle's to tbe ton, the daily yield will be fifteen hundred dollars ltom one shaft, allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. The net product will be a 1200 per day i counting 300 working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be 30,0oo, which yield can be largely increased by extending tbe wotks. This Is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners ot that locality. The Assayer of the United State Mlut at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, soys it has few equals In productiveness In that country, and with proper management and machinery the above product can be doubled.
