Description of One of the IVIosi Promi nent Properties on llie Atlantic Coast A Mine Which has Produced not less than Two millions of Pre cious MetalBrilliant Prospects fur I he Future. Th'e new shaft th.it has lately been completed has now reached the depth of 332 feet. This shaft is in two com partments, one measuring 4x5 feet in the clear, and the other 5x5 feet in the clear. One compartment is used en tirely for pumps and pumping and lad der ways. The other is used for hoist ing the cars of ore. This shaft is the best timbered in the State; tha timbers are of sawed material and well fj amed, SxlO, all oak. The Cornish pump that is in use is a 9 inch pump, and gives perfect satisfaction in draining the mine. The new safety cage that has just been placed in the shaft works like a charm. The pump that I have mention ed and the cage were built by Capt. John Wilkes, of Charlotte. The cage was tested with a heavy loaded car, and when the rope was cut it dropped and caught inside of three inches. After the test the wire cable was attached to the cage and lowered to the lower level, full of men. In the new shaf t,at a point of 270 feet they started a crosscut, and when in 135 feet, had struck the vein, showing very rich ore, and on running 10 feet more, they broke through into the old workings, and the new crosscut and the new shaft were flooded within 70 feet of the top. Much difficulty was expe rienced in draining the mine from wa ter that had accumulated in the old mine, but all difficulties have been over come, and after drifting east and west frm the point where the water broke in, a distance of 25 feet in each drift, and breaking in to the old works in both drifts, it was discovered that the main body of ore was below, and a winze was then sunk 20 feet wide by 15 feet in height, fromlthe west drift, the winze being in pre for over a depth of a 100 feet. It was then decided to sink the shaft to its present depth, and an other crosscut started from the point of 320 feet to connect with the bottom of the winze. All this work has been done and two more drifts are running. The west drift is in 23 feet and is 17 feet wide ; the east drift is in 16 feet and the same width as the west drift. These two drifts are showing a very flattering body of gold ore. I have broken samples myself from the face of the west drift in the last lew days that contained particles of free gold as large as a pea, and are the handsomest gold quartz specimens that has ever been taken from a mine. The hanging wall is well defined and permanent. As yet we have not been able to ascertain the width of the vein. There is no doubt in my mind, from the present condition of the mine, and the way it has been equipped, with new tramway from mine to mill and a new lot of ore cars, that the managers will be able to make this the best paying mine on this coast, and they will save at least fifty per cent, of what was ex pended heretofore. They know that they can mine and mill the ore with greater facility and at less cost than any other company in this country, as they have the finest 40 stamp mill in the gold belt, without a doubt, and the mine and mill are at present booming There is a constant hoisting of car loads of ore day and night. The ma chinery is in good working order. A fine Cameron steam pump is stationed at the 270-foot level for operation in case of emergency. The late develop ments have changed it from the obscure prospect of former days into one of the most promising mines on the Atlantic coast. The rate of progress, however, has been very satisfactory to the own ers of the mine, and I will claim that it is one of the best managed mines in the State. It is under the superinten dence of Mr. Arthur Macy, the right man in the right place, with two very able assistants. On the 21st there is to be a celebra tion near the King's Mountain gold mine, and the ceremonies will take place within five minutes, walk of the mine. I will assure every one that takes an interest in visiting such places that he will never regret a visit to this mine. The managers will take great pleasure in showing the visitors all points of interest.and there will be none who sees the property but will go away convinced in his own mind that it is the best mine in the country. S. A Compliment to the Weather Bureau. The German Government recently paid the highest compliment to the United States by addressing, through the German minister at Washington, a letter requesting to be exactly informed qo tn tlA nrnnpsRps bv which the Siernal Service Bureau so promptly collects at the War .Department tne meieoroiogicai reports from all parts of the United Sharesan AYt.p.nt of territorv ereater than Europeand so rapidly drafts and puDlisnes tnem upon me pnuteu uauy weather map. These maps are issued three hours after the records are read at the distant stations. When it is re membered that the request comes from a government noted for its skilled char-tno-ranhfira. and standing first in Europe. the value of the compliment will be ap- -v t X J II 1 Xl . predated, it is understood inai me German Government proposes to ad vance in meteorological work. The in formation sought has been minutely prepared by the cheif signal officer, Gen. Myer, with the approval of the secreta ry of war. A SHAMEFUL STORY. A Congressional Scandal The Sound of Revelry in a House on H Street. Philadelphia Record. A special dispatch from Washington to the Evening Telegraph, of this city, dated on Saturday, says: The scandal, in which a number of Senators and Re presentatives have become deeply im plicated, by forming a joint stock com pany, to facilitate their indulgence m the vices for which the capital is be coming somewhat noted, is attracting much attention here. For the past twelve days the matter has been in the hands of the detectives, whose services were called into the case by the Secre tary of the Treasury, the latter having been informed of the rumors in circu lation, in which it was stated that a number of the female employes in this department hitd been seen visiting the congressional assignation house, ac companied by the lawmakers in ques tion. The police are extremely reticent as to the results of the investigation, and throughout the whole affair it has been patent that extraordinary exer tions were being made to choke off all inquiry and hush the matter up. The facts, however, thus far ascertained are substantiaDy as follows : About a year ago a Senator from one of the most noted Southern States form ed a liason with a remarkably beauti ful girl here, the connection being coun tenanced and encouraged by the moth er. Following the usual custom of con gressional Lotharios, a position was se cured for the young woman in the Treasury Department, where her pecu liar conduct soon attracted the atten tion of her associates. By drafts upon the Senator's purse the residence of the mother was furnished luxuriously, and soon a series of cosy wine suppers was inaugurated, which drew together a gay group of young girls, whose presence necessitated the Senator's calling in a few of his friends and associates from the capitol. Thus things went on, and the quiet neighbors were shocked by the sounds of midnight revelry, and the grocery man over the way puzzled over the problem of so many carriages standing from midnight till early dawn before the staid-looking house on II street. The young lady continued to present herseff at the desk in the department, until some weeks ago, when she sud denly, without warning, failed to put in an appearance. She was absent some time, and upon her return her changed appearance, together with other circum stances, appeared to indicate that she had been the subject of malpractice. Ugly rumors were now in circulation, and, to cut off further comment, the Senator secured the transfer of the frail damsel to the philosophic shades of the Smithsonian Institution, where, under an assumed name, her identity was hid den until a few days ago. Another Senator from the South brought here two beautiful young lad ies, who were sisters, from his own State. Employment was secured for them in the government service, and the trio were frequent visitors to the little house on H street. As soon as this scandal became the subject of gen eral conversation, however, this Sena tor hastily bundled the two girls back to his native State, and cut loose from the late hours and wine suppers. A rather aged member of the House from Tennessee was another to whom the H street house became exceedingly attractive. He plunged into the gaye ties with all the abandon of a lusty youth of 20, and made fearful ravages upon his pocket for hack rides and bon bons. Another formerly very prominent member of the House, whose term of service as a Representative expired with the Forty-fifth Congress, was also a frequent visitor, and became noted for the good looks and handsome toilets of the fair ones who accompanied him to the PI street reunions. There were others who frequented the house more bv less frequently, ac companied by female companions, but who now profess entire ignorance of the location and its surroundings. The names of the women who fre quented the house are not known, but among those who are known are some of highly-respectable connections, whose families are stricken with shame and grief at the facts which have been de veloped. The detectives are still working up the case, but it is extremely doubtful whether such notice will be taken of this disgraceful proceeding by the au thories as will result in mating public the names of those concerned. Threats have been freely made against parties seeking to inquire into the matter, and several enterprising newspaper men, who have attempted to investigate the business, have found the tables turned and themselves pretty thoroughly in vestigated. Fire in Wilmington. Condensed from the Sta. Tuesday morning a fire broke out in the kitchen of Mr. J. Kent Brown, on Mulberry street. The flames rapidly spread to therestdencesof Geo. H. Kelly, the Isaac Smith estate, Thomas O. Bunting and the Misses Smith, on Mul berry street, all of which were consum ed. Property belonging to Messrs. T. E. Love and L. Vollers was damaged by be ingscorched. Mr. George Kelly had insur ance on his dwelling and outhouses to the amount of $4,000, in a company rep resented by Messrs. W. L. Smith & Co. which will probably cover the loss. His loss on furniture, wearing apparel, etc., upon which there was no insurance, will amount to about $150 or $200. Mr. J. Kent Brown's kitchen and dwelling were insured for $4,200 in the Wilming ton Mutual. His wearing apparel, house hold effects, f uniture, etc., were insured for $900 in the Underwriters' Agency, lie also lost a fine collection of minerals, probably the best in the State, for which he paid about $1,000, and upon which there was insurance to the amount of $300. The property of the Smith estate was valued at $2,000, upon which the owners had no insurance. Mr. Bunt ing estimates his loss on furniture at about $200, upon which there was no insurance. This does not include a loss in money of from $50 to $60, which Mrs. Bunting dropped or had stolen from her as she was leaving the building, and which was not recovered. Mr. T. E. Love, owner of the property occupied by Sheriff Manning, estimates his loss between $300 and $400, upon which there was no insurance. Mr. L. Toilers estimates the damage to his dwelling and kitchen at about $250 or $300, which was covered by insurance in the Phoe nix, of Hartford. An attempt was made about 2 o'clock Thursday morning to burn the store of Mr. R. G. M.-Alexander, of Chester, but the fire was discovered in, time to be extinguished before the flames had got ten much headway. Mr. Alexander has a room in the rear of the store where he sleeps, and where the attempt was made to fire the building by means of kerosene being poured on chips, shav ings, &c in the cellar which is imme diately under Mr. Alexander's room.
