nBnt it is not a these I would apeafe;
to-day. The pastx with its follies, itsjBB-.
lected opportunies, and its omissionai
is gone. The present is upon us, witlj
ita responsibilities and its duties. Brains;
capital and enterprise demand that we
let the dead past bury its own dead. A
change has come over us, and that
change, coupled with our earnest en
deavors, can make our waste places
and our "old fields" blossom, as the rose,
and, under ita jtnmuse, we can inarch
forward to a glorious prosperity. With
our other resources the development
of our mines and mineral treasures of
fer to North Carolina a future as bril
liant and ag fair as her own glorious
climate, and as rich as the fertili
ty of her own soil.
Within in the past year or two, at
least $200,000 have been expended in
putting in machinery for producing
gold, silver, iron and copper from the
mines of North. Carolina, and from
this we take courage 1 v
Tho general, mpiesaion, of those
who haye 'giyen the'question careful
study and exapujnation, is that the
business of mining for precious metals,
will become ope of the largest and
most important industries 6f the coun
try . Important in its value as a pro
ducer of a pioduot always in demand,
always available, however depressed
may be the prices of every other pro
duction of farm or shop, of hand or
brain, and is in a shape to be market
able at full value even after exposure
to the action p.f the elements which
would utterly' destroy the commercial j
value 01 eyerj ftter commodity,
"The ifflPressjaiU that paining for
gold and silver is to become one of the
most valuable and prominent indus
tries, is strengthened even by a dim
comprehension of the vast and stable
foundation upon which it rests. There
is in all the works of nature, a change
less law and system, The Treasure of
duration and yastnesa w estimated by
the ages of formatio'rind massiveness
of structure. In nature mountains dp
not labor to bring, forth a mouse. The
flower that comes from hud to blossom
in a night fades and perishes in the
sunshine of the morning, while the
firm, enduring stratum of granite,
whieh the slow, grand march of count
less ages have fashioned and hardened,
endures without a preceptible loss &
combat with the destructive elements
of centuries. , u - ?

It is highly probable that gold was
mined in thjs State as early as the Rev
olutionary war, but only in a small way
by "Washing beds of streams. Thedis-i'

at. the Reed Mine, in Cabarrus county i
(then.; Mecklenburg) occurred "in,iWde,
but regular operations were prosecuted
not'until some years after ; by the yer
182&theCarolina gold mines hadbeconle
trefl known at the North and'abroad!
A legislative Keport of 1880 puts the;
ascertained production at $500,000 per
annum. Thus far work had been done
only on placer mines, but tbe.- speedy
ers to hunt the veins Whioh 'Kafl been
the source of such riches. "" T .
The large number of veins found put
entirely new conditions to this now
important industry.

to this day nearly all mining work has
been of the most desultory - character.
