!'J,ii -' f - ; CBAS. B, J05ES, IMitor nd Proprietor FreVfrom U Magtemvlesttot fetter our ."vt'.iv ft v-vSi free-born reasony : WEDNESDAXi MAY.?&1879. l - ; interesting letter ironr an jnwuuh, practical miner, and one of lai-gVc-perience in his business, on jthe subject of the chlorination process for extract- ing 1 goia oroflfl reiracrory sores. t.Meares, Philadelphian, has been ex perimenting for some tinie past, in ' 1 Cabarrus county, with this process, ap plying it only to the most; refractory ores, leaving alone the brown ores which are capable of beingfworked by other means. The results haye satisfied ' riot only himself but many other prac . litfal miners, am oner others, as will be observed, our correspondent. . If a solution has indeed been found of the mining problem so far as it re lates to the auriferous ores of North Carolina, the introduction of the meth ods which render possible $3. success ,f ul working of these ores, at pnpe marks 1 the beginning of such a interest in gold mining in North .Carolina as has never been known beforei Practical meivhave never presumed to doubt that this State abounds with mineral wealth. It has been found too often, and in too many different localities, to admit of any skepticism on the subject; yet many miners have been appalled by the shape in which tney have en countered it, and have abandoned their undertakings because they could find no process by which the ores could be successfully reduced. "We say, there fore, that important results depend up onthe success which, may attend chlori nation as applied to our ores. There may be Other methods by which the precious metal may be extracted from its rocky bed as effectually as by this, but if we understand aright, this is the cheapest of all systems. If, then, it combines cheapness with utility, the result to this section can hardly be overestimated for the reason that the material to be worked upon is inex haustible in quantity. These are not mere idle words. They' are solemn facts, attested by the highest authori ties: no minine expert who has ex amined the gold-bearing sections of our State but will say so ; none who have examined them but D.ave said so. It ( has f requently been said by those who have been connected with the largest and most successful mines of the Pa cine Slope that these do riot surpass in their hidden wealth the mines of North Carolina. This has been said by men who have no earthly interest, direct or indirect, in these mines, and who, there fore, could have no interest to subserve by falsehood. If this be true as we have always maintained it was what stands in the way of the mining interest i One thing, as we have pointed out, is the refracto ry character of our ores, but this is not the only reason, nor yet the chief. The principal 01 the jault rests with our people themselves; their i own skepli cism is much to blame, and by tins they beget skepticism in the minds of stran gers men wno may come anions us seeking for mining property as an in vestment. This unbelief would not be amiss if it were founded upon a sub stantial basis ; such representations as have been made to strangers would be right and proper if they were the re sult of honest intelligence regarding the facts spoken of. But who knows that our mines are not capable of al cnai is ciaimea lor them Have any shafts been sunk in search of gold to the! depth of 500 and GOO feet as has been done in California? Why should it be said when a "find" has been made that it is , merely a "pocket" ? Who knows this V Who knows but what, if the proper appliances wer$ put to work here by skilled men, untold wealth might not be developed? f The results achieved th the past havej been great, and yet these have been; wrought out by the use of the most primitive and im perfect methods. Who cari guess what will be produced when the best facili ties are brought into use directed by capable and experienced headsY "The only hope for future greatness for this city and immediate section, is in factories and the development of our mineral resources. Why,jthen, should our own people seek to impede the Wheels olprogress when they turn to ward us lh spite of ourselves our mines will one day be opened aid will yield all that has been prophecied of them, but by so much as we under-rate their ra'.ue by so much will the day spoken of be delayed. i The King's Mountain Centennial. The people of the village of King's Mountain have taken the! initial steps toward celebrating the bajttle of King's Mountain, which was fought on the 7th of October, 1780. The proceedings of a public meeting just held Jhere appear in The Observe! this rooming.' This battle was one of th"ef"moBt notable oc currences in this section of country du ring the revolutionary war, and we have no doubt that the pebples of North and South Carolina will jlm with a will in the celebration of its centennial ''niversary. .-,.: .,lt : . an- ' Ohio PotiTicsMi.

' !The Truant Members On the call of the House last Friday evening, when the sergoant-at-arms was sent out to hunt up truant members, he returned with quite a gang in custody, among these three from North Carolina, to. wit: Messrs. Davis,, Scales and. Steele. Each gave as his excused for his absence without leave that he was hungry, and the House, in the plenitude of its for giveness, pardoned each and all of them and they were dismissed without the payment of cost. 1 1 Colquitt in Beecher's Pulpit. Gov. Colquitt, of Georgia, is on a visit North, and being a great churchman, accented an invitation to speak last - Sunday night from Beecher's pulpit in Brooklyn, and did so. Just what the conservati ve Methodists of Georgia Will think of this performance remains to be seen, but even if they do not like it the Governor's high cireuit-riderly qual ities may enable him to live down this wink at Mr. Beecher's "progressiveness' and make him solid for another term in the executive office. English Derby Day. 1 his is Derbv Dav in England, and oue m:iy be sure that the people of "the country on whose dominions the sun never sets and where the tax collector never goes to sleep" are all agog to-day, for horse racing is the one British weakness. Only one American horse Lorillard's Uncas is entered for the race to-day, and fifty to one is bet against him. Parole runs Friday for the Epsom gold cup. Further action on the legislative bill will be suspended until the Warner silver bill is finally disposed of, though just what difference it makes as to which is vetoed first, does not fully ap pear from any utterance yet made on the subject. ENGLISH TURF INTELLIGENCE. Parole Good for Another Race Proba bable Result of the Oaks Race. London, May 27. Parole is regarded as certain to win the race for the gold cup on Friday, and he may possibly have a walk-over because of the ten pounds allowance to him in conse quence of his having been bred in America. Keferring to the report that Lord Roseberry intends to submit the question to the stewards of the meeting whether, atter his various successes 111 England, Parole is still entitled to such allowance, the Sportsman to-day says : "Clearly soj according to the conditions 01 the race; but the iresent instance shows the absurd folly of suchlcondi tion and will doubtless lead to a :more sensible arrangement in future." ' The race for the Oaks stakes Friday is universal regarded as at the mercyj of Lord Falmouth's B.F. Wheel pfFor-j tune, which won the one thousand-gui neas stakes at the .New MarKet nrst spring meeting. ' : A Curious Case. The case now on trial in New York of Henry A. Fleischman, of St.A'-Louisj' against the steamer H ammonia, lor $10,000, is somewhat curious. Mr, Fleischman avers that he sailed for Europe in the Hammonia in 1873, and that two days after leaving port he and his family were ejected from their state rooms and compelled to occupy the steward's quarters, opposite the kitchen, where the odors were vile, and rats, and other small vermin abounded. The defense is that Mr. Fleischman was taken with the small-pox, and it was found necessary - to ; quarantine p the familv. ,4 ' 'em ft - - . . I -Tildeu Dccumeuts in Georg'a. Atlanta, Ga May 24.

Walker, the Famoris Guide, Hurled Into the Boiling Water and Drowned. Special to' the Philadelphia Times. Buffalo, May 25. "Pi" Walker, one of the best known characters at Niagara Falls, ended his life to-day by going over the cataract. He was the worse for liquor, a failing to which he was frequently a victim, and left Port Day, some two miles above the alls, about four o clock. He endeavored to pull over to the Canada side. He had often braved the rapids in this reckless man ner, and had he been himself would pro bably nave accomplished the teat on this occasion, There were several hun dred people on the banks of the river, two excursions having gone from Buf falo. Walker struck out boldly, but one of Ins oars caught a crab and was whirl ed into the rapids. The boat darted around the curve above the American Falls and Walker splashed recklesslyfor a minute and fell backward across the seat. The boat was now at the complete mercy ot the curreut and hurried down ward until it reached a point about half a mile above the Falls, when it struck a rock and swung wildly around. It was near the shore and hopes were enter tained that Walker would be saved. It was only for a few seconds, however. tor the boat soon went to pieces. The intoxicated man seemed to revive when he went into the waterand threw up his arms and cried tor help. He grasped for a piece of the boat, but the wild current overcame him and over the cat aract he went. Walker was about 30 years old. He ha saved ten or twelve lives around the 1 alls.

Verdfet for Blackwell-r Election ' ' , Judges Acquitted lticnMOND, Va.. Mav 27. In the Cir cuit Court, to-day, the case' of P. Whit- ock vs. W. T.

Secretary Sherman and the Presidency. A New York letter, alluding to Secre tary Sherman's recent letter in regard to the presidency, says : "Mr. bherman s declarations that 'the true issue for 1880 is national supre macy in national matters, honest money and an honest dollar,' are looked upon by some of the shrewdest political ob servers here as a desire to broaden the platform of the Kepublican party, and to weaken the opposition by incorporat ing in that plattorm an old-tashioned Jacksonian plank or two. It is also ac cepted as settling the fact that John Sherman is going to be a formidable competitor for the Republican nomina tion, and, furthermore, that ne is not oing to be crowded off the track by ackwardness on his part in speaking out in season. The fact that he should write such'a letter to 'a Democrat' at all, prominent or obscure, is, in itself look ed upon as peculiarly significant. The full significance is not apparent as yet, but it soon will be it half of wnat one hears be true. The friends of Mr. Blaine and of Mr. Conkling in and about the custom-house and the postofhee are reading over this letter very carefully and very thoughtfully, but they are chary of their comments. Archbishop Purcell's Bankruptcy. The assignee of Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati, has filed his schedule of assets and liabilities, the names of cred itors filling nearly twelve columns of the daily papers. The creditors number over 4,000, and their claims aggregate nearly $3,700,000. The assets, including doubtful and worthless notes, foot up 81,181,000. About two thirds of this amount can probably be realized upon. Among the assets are named the con tents of the archbishop's bed room, viz one bedstead, $1.50 ; one bureau, $2 ; five chairs, 40 cents each, &c. A great con cert was given at Music Hall Friday night, by all the Catholic choirs of the citv for the relief of needy creditors, and several thousand dollars were rea ized. Sir. Thnrman and the Ohio Governorship. Washington dispatches to the New York and Cincinnati papers assert quite positively that the friends of Senator Thurman have determined to press him for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio. Sergeant-at-arms J ohn vi, Thompson, who is recognized as Senator Thurman s right-hand man, is represented as expressing the opinion that Mr. Thurman will be the nominee and that he will secure the election no matter wrho the Republicans put up.
