10 The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron
Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron
manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those
who wish to settle colonies, to their property .which
oilers inducements to the classes above named.
The property consists of Six Thousand Three
Hundred Acres of land, located in the counties of
Gaston and Cleaveland, in the State of North Car
oilna, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta
' and Charlotte Air Line railway, new owned by the
Richmond and Danville railroad company.. The
property has beeifused for fifty years past as an
iron property, and has oeen worked at various
points, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated
Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded
an ore noted for Its richness In metallic Iron, and
Its softness and toughness.: This vein of ore,
which extends for two miles in' length, has been
worked to the depth of 147 feet, showing at that
depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz
ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic iron. This
vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the
facts set forth can be fully shown. . Various other
veins have been worked, and within- the past two
years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis
covered at other points. Within the past eighteen
months, however, the owners have discovered de
posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (Ave veins of
iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be
fore, and which will furnish an amount of good
ore. easily worked and above water, that must
make it one of the most desirable iron properties
to be iouiid. They have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, which is 10U0 feet above the level
kind, 2200 feet above the sea leve, a vein of ore
eight feet wide, which crops out at various points
from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show
ing In one place about 2U feet ot solid vein. This
vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for
owra mile, and this deiiosit alone would afford an
almost Inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked,
and above the water line. - in addition to this four
other veln b?ve been found on this mountain.
Tue ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from 49 to 66 per cent of metallic Iron, with a
small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul
phur or phosphorus. The quantity ot ore In this
mountain is simply Inexhaustible and of good
Quality. : r ?
Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess
King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose
pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Rich
mond to Atlanta, except Mt Airy, in Georgia, and
they have reason to believe this mountain & full of
ore also. In addition to iron ore the property has
manganese, limestone clay for making fire-proof
brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex
cellent barytese has Just been found in large quan
tity. As a stock and dairy farm It offers fine opportu
ilties to those who may wish to engage in such bus
iness. It has from three to four thousand acres of
ljvel or only slightly rolling land, which produces
(ivus, grain and all kinds of farming products
dnely, and it is well supplied with water by unfall-
e springs and branches -
The other 4.000 acres embraced In the mountain
sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and
Afford excellent natural pasturage for sheep and
cattle, The climate is so mild that but little shel
ter for stock Is needed in the coldest winters. The
whole six thousand acres are now covered with a
fine growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine,
hickory, oak, walnut edar, etc. The Jand is well
suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to
colonize. Cotton, corn, peas, oats, clover and grass,
and fruits of all kinds are produced beautifully ,and
it is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It
eould be divided into small farms that would give
to each farm variety ef soil, and level and hilly
and. It Is situated in the Piedmont belt, which is
noted for the salubrity of its climate, and the
healthiness of its atmosphere. It is a region free
from malaria and other unhealthy Influences. It
l located with great convenience to railroad facili
ties, being situated at from two to four miles from
lung's Mountain Station, on a railway that has the
most extensive connections with all parts of the
country, and whleh offers great inducements to
those who are trying to develop the country along
Its lines. The owners will sell this property to suit
purchasers, as follows: The whole tract, including
mineral lnterests.f or Sixty three Thousand Dollars,
or will make favorable terms, reserving the min
eral interest or will sell one-half the mineral In
terest payment to be one-third cash, balance In

valuable water power, which has been used to
ruu large rolling mills, lies adjacent to this prop
erty, and can be bought cheaply. The property is
in close proximity to the famous All Healing
Mineral Springs, and to the widely-known Cleve
land Springs. - - -
The town of King's Mountain Is also adjacent,
Where are good hotels, a flourishing and excellent
ugh school, and- several new - and handsome
churches. The owners invite the attention of all

Mt Dear Mr. Fisher, It is quite
evident to my mind that at the ap
proaching session of Congress there
will be an expansion of the currency
to the amount of fifty to seventy-five
millions of dollars. The form it will
take, I think, will be . an addition to
the National Bank' circulation West
and South. - - . . - .
. My object in " writing is to ask in
season if your, friends would desire
to establish a bank at Little Bock f
It will be to some extent a matter of
favoritism as to who gets the banks
in the several localities,, and it will be
in my power to "cast an Anchor to
the Windward" in your behalf if you
desire it.- Please think over the mat
ter, and. confer; with Mr.- Caldwell;
and let ine know your desire as soon
as you reach any conclusion. - There
is, of course, no special hurry; but I
thought I - would suggest the matter
imorder that you might mature tout
thoughts in good time.
It would be well to determine, the
amount o which you' misht wish to
go. a suppose unugai do practicable
to secure a $500,000 bark-, bui in that
locality yon would hardly wish tq go
so deep. But they are very profitable

Washington, d. u
" December 9th, 1870.
My Dear Mr. Fisher, I wrote
very hastily, both to yourself and
Mr. Caldwell, in regard to the bank.
A further conference with the Comp
troller of the Currency gives some
additional facts which are of inters
est, and this letter is intended alike
for yourself and Mr. CaldwelL Please
show it to him. ;. They are now allow
ing 90 per cent circulation on 20 40
bonds, instead of 80, and then 85 at
different periods in- the past. They
give me the assurance that you shall
have fully $450,000 circulation on a
bank of half a milium capital.'
You can, of course, .-. deposit 5 20's
if you please ; but you will get no
more than 90 per cent, circulation..
They will cost you more, of course,
and though "you get more interest,
you wiU very likely be disturbed in
the quiet possession of them very
soon by the operation of the Funding
Scheme. -
The opinion gains ' ground here
quite rapidly, as you might infer
from Secretary Boutwell's report,
that the debt cannot be funded at
less than 5 percent. .
By taking 10 40 bonds, therefore,
you would be undisturbed as. long as
the banking systen lasts, or at least
for thirty years or more. None of the
10-40's mature before a. d. 1904, and
that is quite long - enough to env
brace within the scope of any ; finan
cial operation. It might be , well to
have your formal application for y'r
increase of capital, and then , take
such time as you may wisn tor get
ting your Stock subscribed. If you
desire, I will -confer with s Senator
Rice in ; regard to forms, &c. It
might be better now to let him take
the lead. -
Yours very truly,
B2J. G. Blaine.

Augusta, Me. 29 Dec. 1870.
My Dear Mr. Fisher. I , am in
hopes now that I - 6hall secure the
$25,000, or nearly that. I find money
very tight and rates well up to 9 per
cent. stiff at that.
. The most of it will bo for 5 and 6
months. If I had had more time and
earlier notice I could ? have raised
more, and at easier rates. 1 1 have
seen most of the parties -to whom
bonds are due. I do not have much
trouble about the January Coupon of
the 1st Mortgage Bonds -but they of
course growl, some on six of the
Bonds. I would be glad to have the
Coupon. I promised themindividual
ly, to make it right in the future. I
did not in any way use the name of
the Company nor commit you to
anything only jnyself.
On the Land Bonds I cannot make
them see the equity of removing the
April Coupon, A I promised to try
and adjust that matter with you afs
ter my return to Boston. They all
agree with one voice that no bond
shall be exposed for . sale. I - wish
you could give me the benefit of that
fraction making 32 of 1st Mortgage
Bonds for the$31;500 due. X use the
extra $500 in adjusting the interest
matter, & it '.fits in completely. I
will make it all right with you.
, What I want, then, is
ao Ann i $32,000 1st Mortgage Bonds.
$84UU0 $50 ooo Land Bonds.
and also f 'r collateral to the notes for
$25,000 an additional $50,000 of Land
Bonds.
Please meet me at Mr. Caldwell's"
private office on Saturday at 12.15
sharp. I shall try to be there pre
cisely at noon, but allow 15 minutes
for grace. - It is very important that
I have everything completed that
day, as a man will come ,to Boston
with me to take charge of the Bonds.

intend to leave this burden on me. ;
If you do; it wy crush me. I have
no possible rneang wherewith to meet
these notes, and 1 beg of you and
Mr. Fisher, either.or both, to come
to rriy relief. - In a letter- from Mr..
Fisher under 4ate of January 34th
he writes roe aa follows :
, 'In reaard to the $25,000 which vou
borrowed and loaned to Mr. Caldwell
or rather Mr. Pratt,as it was assumed
by Mr. ratt, because you received
from him $50,000 Land Bond? for the
amount. - Upon my visiting the office
for the first time after you 'left the
citv. Mr. Pratt said he and Mr. Fa-
rington gave to you theu; individual
bonds, and they kep,t the money ;and
ia order to obtain the ' money, and
get t out of Mr, Pratt's hands, I ob
tained $50,000 Land Bonds, and took
what I supposed to be money ; but it
was not there.- Part of it had been
misapplied to othe matters! $15,000
of it I loaned Mr. Cfaldwell : the bal
ance went into a house at Little
Roc without my knowledge or con
sent, and Pulman Cars, &c. etc,
Now, my dear Sir, if this be a cor.
House of Representatives,
rect statement, may I not hope you
will relieve me to the extent of the
$15,000, and Mr, - Fisher will -surely
pay the other $10,000." .-.;
As a wholly innocent third . party
doing my best to act a sincere and
steadfast friend to . both of you, I
ought not to be left exposed to finan
cial ruin and personal humiliation. '

have advised of my writing you. ; i

SOME ADVICE TO BLAINE. .
- Boston, Sept. 30, 1871. ;
My Dear Blaine, It is the greatest
importance thnt the parties owning
the interest in the $25,000, and in
vested by them in-- the 'Northern
Pacific Railroad, should receive what
is due them ; and unless something is
done about it, 1 shall be; forced to
turn the document over to them, and
let you settle directly with them. I
am constantly ., reminded about it,
and they all say! -Why don't Blaine
deliver to you our interest? Mr.
Caldwell tells me he has paid you his
last note due you, and gave you the
$50,000 land bonds in addition. I
should judge it was for your interest
to settle the matter at once, and have
no further delay. You must be your
own judge'in the matter, but ray ad-i
vice is to seine it at once. .
I remain; Warren Fisher, Jr -Mr.
Blaine's letter of October : !?
1871, already published, is the answer
to this letter. '-. Tl i .- ;
Boston, Oct. 24, 1871.
My Dear Blaine, Yesterday I re
ceived your favor of the 21st inst., to
which i - replied by telegram : "Mr:
C. has riot been in this city for four
weeKS. tie is now in at." liouis."' . 1
I can eret no information when Mr.
Caldwell is to return; when he does,
I will lay your letters before him. In
the mean time I can . say nothing in"
regard to the matter further than
what I have heretofore told you,
that Mr. Caldwell represented to me
that he had naid for vour . account.
and for which he has your receipts.
all but $2,500 or the $25,000 which
you loaned, and .for which you re
ceived as collateral $50,000 of . the
Little Rock and Fort ; Smith land
grant bonds, which you since sold at
60 cents on the dollar, realizing there-'
for $30,000, leaving you now in ad
vance of funds even if Mr. Caldwell
had paid you nothing. - - ; i
;vl have heretofore advised you that
I had been frequently importuned for
the securities of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, and as a last resort I had to
surrender your obligation ; for,, the
benefit of the parties in interest, who
now say that after so long delay they
will not take the securities, but re-
quire you to refund the money. .
I remain, ;War,rj3? Fishse, Jr.
. . : AN. AOONIZIN CRY. I
'-. AuqusTa, Me., Nov. 3d, 1871.
- My Dear Mr. Fisher. I write Mr.
Caldwell this day earnestly asking
him ; to relieve me from the very
pressing and painful embarrassment
entailed upon me .by . raising the
money I loaned to you and him last
winter. rjtsa. : -.
Mr. Caldwell has paid me $6,000:
there remains $19,000 due with con
siderable interest. .There is due-aJsa
to me, under contract with you.
$70 000 land bonds and $33,000 1st
mortgage. Retaining in my posses
sion the $50,000 land bonds as collat
eral to the note, there is still due - to
me $20,000 land bonds and the 4st
mortgage s bonds, ; $32,000. I have
already .made one-. prapoaition for
settlement, to which I call Mr, Cald
well's attention. I- must have the
matter settled in some, way, and at
; "Pray communicate with mo,on the
matter, Sincerely yours,
