In the Tar Heel's State
WRITtA FOR THE STARo by bion h. butler.
:nr:
The production of gold In North Car
olina is an old story. Long before Cal
ifornia had become a factor In the
worlds' mineral yield the government
was taking Its bullion stock from the
Atlantio coast states. At Dahlonega,
in Georgia, a mint was established, and
an assay office at Charlotte, N. C the
same Charlotte that declared Indepen
dence of England a year before a sim
ilar declaration was adopted in Phila
delphia, An old history of North Carolina
notes that in 1840 the state yielded over
a quarter of a million dollars In gold,
with 968 tons of iron, a little lead, a
million gallons of whiskey and other
things. Before the war gold mining
was an industry of considerable im
portance. After that date, with every
thing demoralized, and California show
ing such tremendous competition, it
was a bold man who 6pent time or
monoy seeking gold in this state.
One day P. H. Laufman, the pioneer
tinplate man of the Kiskiminetas Val
ley, came into my office In Pittsburg
and told me of his gold operations In
North Carolina, not far from Southern
Pines. He was enlisting Pittsburg
capital In the development and I think
considerable work has been done. Some
other Western Pennsylvania people are
doing something farther west. With
this In my mind, I was interested the
other day when W. F. Junge, a hustling
Yankee from Potter Co., Pa., held mo
up and wanted me to go over to thj
west side of the county with him to see
a North Carolina gold mine.
A crowd of about seventy formed the
gung that sot out ; for down here whon
a man finds something of interest to
look at, he does not look at It alone un
less he keeps his affairs to himself. So
many people are ready to be entertained
that the crowd follows the bell cow
without asking a question, Going to a
gold field in North Carolina Is different
from going to one on the Comstock, in
Nevada, or in the forbidding regions of
Idaho. Here from the car windows the
delicate pink of tho peach trees colored
the landscape ; the plow mule toiled
slowly down tho rows that are to be
planted in cotton ; the mocking bird
whistlod In tho swinging tops of the
black jacks.
Then the train stopped and we took a
path close to a primitive cabin bursting
wit h a pack of children that would have
made Roosevelt's heart joyous. Down
a little ravine and a mill was in sight,
the battery of stamps playing a merry
tatoo on the rock, from which amalgam
ated plates pick up real yellow gold
while you Btand and wait. Only you
cannot toll that it is cold, for until it
goes to the assay ofllco and has the mor
cury roasted out, it looks like the stuff
the tinker man uses to solder up the
wash boiler.
The mine we went to seo was located
in the Candor retjion, the group con
taining three or four developments.
Of these the Iola is the oldest and Is
said to be cleaning up $500 a day. It
was Interesting to watch the unroman-
tic stamps hammering away at the
equally unromantic looking rock, and
to be told that the stuff was dropping
enough money every day to keep a fam
ily bigger than Brigham Young's.
Three mines are working In the Can
dor district the Iola, the Montgomery
and the Golconda. It was the Golconda
that my Potter county friend was in
terested In, and the Golconda received
the most of our attention. It reminded
me of the old days In California, when
evorv man vou met had both coat
pockets filled with chunks of rock, until
you would suppose he had gone out to
look for dogs. But think of throwing a
stone at a dog when you can take an
irot. pan, pound the rock to fine sand,
and with the pan wash out enough gold
H

u
it
to make you envious of the follow
who
owns the whole bill full of the stun",
That day at Golconda, wherever we
turned it was to see soma one lugging
up a stone half as big us his head, to
get it pounded up and washed out, for
the sake of seeing tho llltlu streuk of
glistening yellow in the bottom of the
pan.
GThe gold at Uolconda Is round in what
the mill men call a gunguo t f silicate of
magnesia and quartz. But not many
were concerned about that purt. Most
of the strangers merely wanted a
glimpse of a chunk of what looked like
h big pebble, and half tho party were
fortunate enough to find a piece of tho
stuff with the shiny particles of gold
sticking out of the surface.
It Is apparent that the Candor cold
district will be profitable to those who
nave possession or land in tho neiyhhor-
hood. O. M. Alton, tho president, of
the Golconda Company, says the oro
that is located Is enough to run tho mill
longer than any of the present owners
will be Interested in minintf. The
yield varies from $5 up to $30 or more to
the ton, and as the gold is all easily ex
tracted from tho rock, everybody con
nected with tho workings seems to be
happy.
iNortn Carolina is an liloul place for a
gold mine or anything else. Tho cli
mate Is right lor working out of doors
all the year,' and supplies of all kinds
are to be had so abundantly that labor
is cheap. 1 hlnk of having eggs for tou
cents the dozen to feed your minors on,
ana sweet potatoes at twenty-nve cents
a bushel. That is about the next thins
to a gold mine itself, except to the fel
low who sells Twenty cents a dav is
what a mine workor told me ho paid for
board at the Iola mine.
A few years ago ore that paid lees
than $15 a ton was unprofitable ; but
with the new methods of treatment
such rock as Is found at Golconda free
milling and simple of treatment can be
worked profitably if it carries a third
that much gold.
Geologically this state Is interestintr.
Its range of mineral production is great
er than that of any other state in tho
union. You cun hardly put your finger
on a thing found In any other state but
what the native Tar Heel will eo down
Into an old coffee pot or an old carpet
sack and dig up something to beat it.
Gold, silver, precious stones, clays and
everything even to a variety of sand
stone that he can bond he will show
you. Unfortunately, tho quantity of
most of the products is not sufficient to
make tho yield profitable. But who
knows what may be found some day un
der the strenuous search of the modern
seeker?

Pub!:c Schools Progrersinr,,
Prof. It. U. Teitrick, wbo has been.
visiting the schools in Punxouiuwney
and vicinity during the greater part of
the past two weeks, completed hia
annual Inspection In the southern part
of the county yesterday. The County
Superintendent reports gratifying pro
gross in the schools, as a rule, all over
the county, tho percentage of unsuccess
ful teachers never having been so low
as during the present term. The good
result of the systom of grading the
country schools and issuing diplomas to
pupils who reach a certain standard,
which was established about five years
ago, is now beginning to show in tho
spring examinations for common school
diplomas. Recently examinations were
held In Brookville, Falls Creek and
Punxstttawney at which 219 applicants
were examined, 93 of whom wore suc
cessful in securing common school di
plomas. These pupllg represent only
the country schools and aro exclusive of
those who graduated from the city and
town schools. The system of requiring
the teachers to leave a report of tho
year's work at tha end of each term and
of outlining the work which should be
done the following term, which was
adoptld about tho same time, Is also
proving of inostimable value to the
teachers. The report includes a person
al and school record of each pupil.
During the year the county lost two
excellent teachers, namely, Miss Ruth
Spraguo, of Brookville, and Prof. F. T.
MeCluro, of Roynoldsvillo, who accept
ed position In the Allegheny High
SchooU at $1,000 per term. Punxsu
