Caldwell County Was
Once Noted for Its
Rich Deposits of Gold
i Lenoir News-Topic)
Caldwell County, North Carolina,
has the richest undeveloped gold deposits
on the North American continent,
said the Lenoir News of April
'.'4, )911. On two of the tributaries
of Lower Cre-.-k. four miles southwest
of Lenoir, over $100,000 in gold
has beer, taken from its branches.
Nine miles west of Lenoir on the
Littlejchn property the alluvial deposits
have been washed several times
for gold and the surface on the hills
bus been hauled on n sled to the I ,
? - -- i\
hranches to be washed. One pit drift
yielded Si .TOO in gold ca a surface j.
not larger than a wash basin. : ji
About 115 years ago a man prospecting
struck a rich shoot and took. ~
out $8,000 in four days, the largcs? ' '
nugget having weighed 119 penny
weights, 18 grains. He hid the place
and it has never been found. Mr. Geo.
\V. dackson. a practical miner, commenced
to open up the property last
summer and in prospect work from
October 1 to December 6 got $1,311
for cVay dtuiior iie eapeiiueu in It,- j
bor.
On the tributaries of John's River, j
farther west, gold has been worked
from all its branches in the Plney
section. Before the war hundreds of
negro slaves were worked in the alluvial
deposits in a very crude way.
Since the war it has been worked
over, giving good returns to the poor
white, with only a rocker or torn.
One nugget weighing over 28 pounds i
was picked up in John's River township
a few miles from CoUettsville
on the C. & N. W. Railway (see U. S.
records).
Until the discovery of gold in California
in 18-19, Western North Carolina
produced over three-fourths of
all the gold mined in the U. S. Now
it only wants development, to locate
and open up the rich veins and lodes
to make it the best paying mining
section in the United States.

HAVING A GARDEN
I wasn't going to have a garden.
It's too much work, you see;
But when the soil's no longer hard, an' I
The birds are in the tree.
I can't sit in idle leisure
And see the old tools rust;
i somehow get the greatest pleasure
From diggin' in the dust.
[ like to feel the soft earth
Beneath my feet, so warm;
Instead of just a garden plot
I wish I had a farm!
