Hoiks beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron
manufacturers, stock ' and dairy men; ana those
t. no wisn to seme co enies, to tneir property .wbtch
ci-trs inducemeiits to the classes above named.
The property consists ol cilx Thousand Three
I.uiuiol Aires of land, located la the eounties ot
(-astou and Cieaveland, In the Stata of North Car
uina. at King's Mouulaiu Derot. on the Atlanta
e. nd Charlotte Air Lin railway, now owned by the
tucniuonu anc uauviue raiiroaa company. The
uiopertj has been used for fifty years past as an
iron property, and has oeen worked ' at various
Lointa. but cueny at tne site 01 the celebrated
Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, -hlch has always yielded
an ore noted for its rtehness la metallic iron, and ,
Its softness and touKhness. This vein of ore.
wuich extends lor two miles In length, has been :
worKea to tne oept 1 lit reet, snowing at that
depth a vein ol ore about 40 feet wide, anJanalyi
Uig as high as 66 per -cent, of metaiUe Iron. - This
veiu has not oeeii woraea ior twenty years, but the
(acts set forth can be fully shown. .Various ether
veins have been wonted, and wltula the past two
years very large deposits of lroa ore have been dis
covered at other points. Within the past eighteen
months, however, the-ewners have oisoovered de
posits 01 ore la crvwaera louutain, inve vauia of
Iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be
fore, and which will funiwtt aa amoant ol good
ore, easily worked and above waterL that , must
tuake It one of the uwst desirable iron properties
to be lound. They have discovered on the pinnacle
01 this mountain, wiucn is luuu ieet auuve tue level
lauu, zojO leet above the sea level, a vein of ore
eight feet wide, which crops out at variorfS points
1 rum the top to tne bottom 01 tne mountain, snow
ing in one place about A) feet of solid vein. This
vein can be traced over the top of Uie mountain for
over a mile, and this oepoait alone would aflord an
almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked. :
ana above the water line. . in addition- to this four ;
other veins tuve bean found on- this mountain.
The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from & to 66 per cent, of metallic iron, with a
email amount of titan le acid, and without any sul
phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore lnttu
mountain is simply inexhaustible ana 01 gooc

Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners posses
King's Mountain, for. about seven, jiiites, whose
puuiacie is tne nignesi point 01 iana irem kicq-
laond to Atlanta, except ML Airy, in Georgia, and
they have reason to believe this mountain is full of
ore also. In addition to Iron ore the property has
lnatuoinese. lhuestuue elav for making firw-nrooi:
brica, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex
cellent oarytese has just been found in large Quan
