THE GEMS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Something Learned About Them
Through a Talk With Prof! Hidden
The Precious Stones of Alexander
County Discovery ot a New Gem,
; theEdisonite,the Like of Which is
Unknown to the Scientific World.
It has only been a few months since
Prof. W. E. Hidden, an employee of Ed
ison, the distinguished electrician, in
search of platinum, discovered in Al
exander county and brought to the at
tention of the world the now far-famed
hiddenite. He has now discovered an
other stone only a little less valuable, if
any, than the gem which bears his name.
He believes it to be a new mineral un
known to scientific geologists, perfectly
transparent, resembling the diamond,
but belonging to a different geological
family. It is one degree softer than
quartz, of high lustre, complex form,
and he proposes to call it the Edisonite.
It is found in the neighborhood of the
place, in Alexander county, where he
discovered the hiddenite.
Prof. Hidden exhibited quite a num
ber of beautiful crimson garnets, which
were found in Alexander county, either
in or near the Hiddenite mine. The
garnet has long been a favorite with
many people, and the demand for them
is only limited by the supply. The gar
net is supposed to have been sometimes
included by the aneients ia their names
carbunculus and hyacinthus. In its
more perfect forms it is a beautiful gem
as are these exhibited by Prof Hidderj
and when cut and polished bears some
resemblance to the ruby in color, trans
parency and lustre. We do not know
what value they possess. In the course
of our conversation with Prof. Hidden
in regard to the discovery of these pre
cious stones and how he came
about it, he proceeded to relate the
whole history to us and said that
sixteen years ago, the site of the
North Carolina emerald mine was cov
ered with a dense primitive forest
Less than ten years ago the locality
was mineralogically a blank, nothing
was known to exist having any special
interest or value. Whatever we know
of it to-day is due indirectly to Mr. J..
A. D. Stephenson, a native of the coun
try, whose interest in mineralogy is a
purely naturai one. Under a promise
of reward, if successful, he had engag
ed the farmers to search the soil for
crystals, Indian stone relics, etc., and
for some years enjoyed surprising suc
cess in thus gathering specimens. Ev
ery specimen found in this region
proved to be a revelation to science. In
some respect they were of more inter
est than anything heretofore found cf
their kind. Certain it is that this re
gion, and 1 state this from my own ex
perience in collecting, has produced
some of the most remarkable and
beautiful specimens of emerald, spodu
m8ne, beryl, rutile, and monazite thus
far discovered in the FJnited States.
The location of the mine was obtained
in the following manner : A corps f
workmen was employed to dig a series
of deep ditches in directions that would
cut the strata at different angles. The
site chosen for work was on the spot
where at least half a dczen pale emer
alds hfcd been found. This location
was shown to me by the farmer who
had discovered the specimens while
plowing. Not knowing then their man
ner of occurrence. I expected in this
way to strike a vein bearing them.
Five weeks were spent (in July and
August, 1880) before any success was
met with ; and then, at a depth of eight
feet was discovered a "blind vein" (so
called because it had no outcrop), hav
ing very small emeralds. In this vein,
or pocket, as it proved to be later, and
outnumbering the emeralds fifty to one,
was also found the new emerald-green
mineral which wassueh a surprise to
the scientific world, and which was des
tined to answer the same purposes as
did the gem I sought. I refer to the
spodumene-emerald, now known as
Hiddenite. This blind vein yielded
very handsomely of the new mineral,
but very sparingly of emeralds, and
the few found were too small to be
useful as gems, though their color was
very good. A tunnel, for the purpose
of drainage, 261 feet long, mostly
through rock, was cut to this vein, and
a shaft sunk down upon it. At this
time the work on this vein has reached
a depth of 86 feet, at which point it
proved its pocket nature by pinching
out closing together. Thus far, 12 of
these pockets have been found within
an area of forty feet Fquare, carrying
emeralds, four of which pockets con
tained also the spodumene-emerald.
Other pockets were found that yielded
Quartz, Rutile, Monazite, ana mica
crystals of great beauty. Others yet,
whose walls were covered witn nnely
crystallized dolomite, calcite, apatite
transparent and pellucid, rutile, pyrite,
quartz and mica. In one instance, a
small pocket that contained two beau
tiful emerald crystals, had its walls cov
ered with large crystals ot albite,
twinned parallel to the basal plane.
Another pocket contained only mica
crystals and one small pellucid color
1 ss beryl that had both ends brilliantly
terminated with many planes, in the
rock-mining, and while prospecting on
the surface, the sign of a vein is the
presence of small streaks of massive
quartz, or of mica, in a counter direc
tion to the strike of ; the country-rocK,
either of which lead to open peckets
not many feet off.- the gems have thus
far been found loosely attached to the
rock. Not over nine emeralds have
been found at any one time. Mineral

series of specimens. In regard to the
commercial value of the emeralds thns
far fodnd, I will frankly state that the
majority of the crystals have little val
ue for gtm purposes ; but' as cabinet
specimens they are unprecedented, and
have a market value ranging from
$25 to $1,000 each. From the largest
crystals, stones of over one carat
weight could be cut that would be
marketable as gems ; but as scientific
specimens, the crystals in their entire
ty would have greater value. Certain
ly no better signs could be ,wished for
than these specimens, to prove the ex
istence at this locality of dark-colored
crystals, pure enough for cutting into
valuable gems. This region has a great
future as a gem producing district.
Mining skill and capital are the only
essentials needed to insure success, It
may be interesting to note that the en
tire expense of the work at this locali
ty has been more than repaid by the
sales of the gems (Hiddenites) discov
ered. But for. liberal financial aid giv
en to the writer by both Mr. Richard
H. Roberts, of Albany, and Mr. James
D. Yerrington, of Cresskill, N. J , the
work of discovery and development at
this locality would have been very
much retarded, if not indefinitely postponed.
The Reduction Works.
Prof. J as. C. Taylor and Mr.-John C.
Shepherd, of New York City, who are
interested in the reduction works to be
established on the Smith homestead,
four miles from the city, arrived here
yesterday- and paid a visit to the site of
the works. They say that everything
is progressing finely. The side track
leading from the railroad to the works
has been built, and the construction of
the building is being rapidly pushed
forward. The works will very soon be
ready for business. Their process for
reducing the ores, as our readers know;
is what is called the Designolle, which
is said to be second to the famous En
glish process known as the Swansea.
Commercial News Room.
A movement was set on foot yester
day among our cotton merchants look
ing to the establishment of a commer
cial news room. It is proposed to form
a sort of an organization among the
cjtton buyers and sellers and fit up a
room, which will be something on the
order of an intelligence office, where
all the telegraphic market reports and
private dispatches in relation to the
movements of the cotton market will
be posted. Only members of the news
room will be granted access to the re
ports. ' The project was suggested only
yesterday evening and one or two of
our cotton buyers started around to see
how it would take. Nearly all the cot
ton men went into it, and no doubt the
next few days will see the commercial
news room established in our midst.
Yesterday's Fire.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the alarm of fire was raised on the
streets and the cause was very quickly
found to be the burning of a barn on
the premises of Col. H. C. Jones, on east
Trade Estreet. The Young Hornets
won their spurs, being the first com
pany to get a stream on the burning
building. Within five minutes after
they got a stream from the hydrant,
they had the fire extinguished. The
colored fire company got the second
stream. This is the first practical illus
tration of the advantage of the water
works in case of fire, for before the fire
engines could get to work the hose
companies had tapped the plugs and
were playing on the fire.. V A lot of oats,
cotton seed and corn were consumed
with the barn. The damage will fall
under S5100. It is not known how thjfr
fire originated.
T. L. Seigle & Co's Opening.
The interior of Messrs. T. L. Seile &
Co's store presented a handsome ap
pearance yesterday. It was their open
ing day, and from the very entrance to
the back door, nothing could be
F69n but a bewildering display of
Deautifui dress goods, laces, silks,
velvets, plush goods, dolmans,
embroidered dress . patterns and
new fall novelties of all descriptions.
All during the afternoon the store was
crowded with ladies admiring the dis
play and making purchases. The line
of silks and satins was especially fine,
and ranged in price from 75 cents to $5
per yard. Plushes and velvets were
exhibited at prices from $1 to $8 per
yard. Tbe display of dolmans was a
splendid one, the prices being from $15
to $65 each. In embroideries and dress
patterns, the display has never been
equaled in Charlotte; Messrs. Seigle &
Co. have a stock unrivaled in the State,
and all the ladies who desire to see a
lovely line of goods and fineries, are in
vited to call and see for themselves.
"A Cheil's Amang Ye ataking Notes.
Prof. Allen Curr, widely known in
Scotland by his nom deplnme of "Bon
nie Dundee," is now in our city, by in
vitation, to deliver some of his descrip
tive and humorous lectures. Mr. Curn
is correspondent for several Scottish '
journals, and his letters on the South,
as a field for Scotch capital and emi
gration, are reprinted in nearly every
Scotch newspaper, and read, it is safe
to say, by atlefot half a million of peo
ple in Scotland. Being a Fellow of the
London Geological Society, England,
Prof. Curr naturally takes a deep in
terest in the minerals so abundant in
the western part of our State.
It is however, as a popular as well as
most entertaining lecturer that he will
appear before, a Charlotte audience on
Monday night, Sept 25tb, in the hall of
the;Literary and Debating Club, under
the First National Bank. He will de
liver an oration on the "Heroes and
Heroines of the Scottish Covenanters,
with humorous and entertaining sto
ries and sketches of moddern Scottish
life and character. Prof. Curr will
wear the ancient, historic and roman
tic dress of a Scottish Highland Chief.
On Tuesday night he will speak on a
most amusing and yet important theme
entitled. "the Master Passion, or Win
nirtov Wnniner and "Wedding." full of
fun, fact and fancy. On both these oc
casions Mrs. Allen Curr, who has won
golden, opinions as a Lyric reader, will
give dramatic and' humorous, recitals.
These lectures and readings are given

Alex. Soutbers, the negro who at
tempted to pass a forged order on Dr.
Wilder, was again Drought before the
mayor yesterday morning, arid after a
hearing of the case, he was put under a
bond of $250 for his appearance at the
Inferior court for trial. Alex could
not give bond and was sent back to
jail. Wallace Brown, for using profane
anguage, was fined $5. Two other
cases were tried one for d. and d. was
fined $5, and one for drunk and fighting
was fined $15.
Ah Sin was His Name.
Among the passengers brought in on
Capt Stagg's train yesterday, was art
almond-eyed youth, whose baggy bree
ches, wooden shoes and plaiti d pig tail
at once pronounced him to bo a son of
the celestial kingdom. He had a ticket
for Columbia, and while he was stand
ing about on the platform waiting for
his train, a curious crowd drew around
him to take a good look at his general
make up. A porter who had an eye to
business bowed, and politely risked if
Mr. Chinaman would hae dinner, to
which the celestial shook his head aod
replied: "You no habbee clocked rice
and rattee." After he had sputtered a
good deal of pigeon English, he finally
made the crowd understand that he was
going to Columbia to establish a laun
dry. "I'm all bloky uppe, just likee
Melican man," he went on to explain,
"gottee dlunk on Melican drinkee last
night." When the train moved off the
last man to shake the Chinaman's hand
and say "good-bye," was Major Moody.
The Major was trying to buy this speci
men and had the train waited a few
minutes longer he would no doubt have
closed the trade, as he was just getting
Ah Sin to understand what he was
driving at when the whistle blew.
Death of Father Clandian B. Northrop.
Bishop H.P. Northrop passed through
the city yesterday for Charleston with
the remains of his brother, Rev. Claud
ian B. Northrop, who died Thursday
morning in Mt. St. Joseph's Convent, at
Hickory, after three months suffering
with Bright's disease of the kidneys,
Claudian B. Northrop was the fourth
son of Mr. C. B. Northrop, a prominent
lawyer of Charleston, and was born in
December, 1843. He received his pre
paratory education at Mt. St. Mary's
College, in Maryland, and in 1859 he
went to Rome and was one among the
first thirteen students that attended the
American college which was estab
lished by Pius IX. After six years
studv at this college he returned to
America, and in 1876 was ordained as
sistant priest at St. Mary's church,
Charleston, by Bishop Lynch. After
the death of the pastor, Rev. R. S,
Baker, which occurred in 1869, he was
ordained pastor and continued as such
until his death. During Father Nor
throp's illness at the Convent he was
tenderly and faithfully cared for by the
Sisters. His remains will be interred
in St. Mary's church, in Charleston, to
morrow, in the vault in front of the
Sanctuary, beside the remains of the
Rev. Dr. Baker, to whom Father Nor
throp was an assistant for some time.

lecklenburg, of the 16th inst., I wave
all ceremony of an official declaration
on the part of the chairman of the con
vention, and hereby accept the same,
though very much against my present
wishes, and private interest, and I am
led to this acceptance, furthermore,
by reason of the frequent and repeated
appeal of Democrats, not Liberals, from
various sections of the county, giving
J assurance or tneir conneience ana sup
port, thetfeneclarations being entirely
non political, emanating from motives
ot personal esteem ana private conn-
dencef Such personal considerations
could not be disregarded by me in com
ing to a determination as to my candi
dacy. I do not propose, in this accept
ance, to set rorth any declaration or
principles, and would prefer not to en
gender any animosities or agitate the
public mind by acrimonious political
debate. I would prefer that at least as
r as the election' of State Senator is
concerntd to give the case to the peo
ple and thus save them from the in
fliction of the put up eloquence of the
fledgling sent out from the city club to
talk upon the hustings, and to run the
moonlight picnics at every side gin-
house, reminding, one lorcioiy or tne
dark lantern and other deviltries of the
Knownothing party. My further ob
jection to a canvass, is purely personal
to mvselr and wm not De menuonea.
