Xhe property consists of bix Thousand Three Hundred Aires of land, located in the counties of (raston ami Cteavelaud, In the Slate of North Car oiina, at King's Mountain Depot, ou the Atlanta and Chariotte Air Line -railway, . now owned by the Richmond anfi Danville railroad company. The property has been -used for fifty years past as an Iron property, and has been worked at various points, but chiefly at the- site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, which iias always yielded an ore noted for its richness jn. metallic Iron, .and Its softness and -toughness- This feln of we, which extends for two milea in length, has been worked to the -dept":" f 147: feet, shewing at that deiita a veiu of -ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as ti 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 depoaitaof iron- ere have been dis covered at other points. "Within the past eighteen mouths, however, the- owners have discovered de posits of ore InCrowder's Mountain, (Ave veins of iron ore, are exposed),-which, were unknown be fore, and which- -will furnish an amount of good are, easily worked and above water, that must make it one of the most desirable Iron properties to be found.. .They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which is 10LO feet above the-level land, 2&0 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 'M feet ot solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for ' over a mile, ana thu deposit 'alone would afford an almost inexhausUbie supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. Id addition to this four other veins b?ve been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 65 per cent, of metallic Iron, with a small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore In this mountain is simply inexhaustible and of good Quality. - : ' " ' --'' i Besides Crowder's Mountain: the owners possess King's Mountain,7 for about seven mites, whose pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Bich mond to Atlanta, except lit. Airy, in Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain Is full of ore also. In addition to iron, ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making- fire-proof - brick, gold and other minerals.- Yery pure and ex cellent barytese has Just beea found, in large auan- As a stock and dairy farm U offers fine opporlu iities to those who may wish to engage la such bus iness.
