I The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron iiuuiulaclurers, stock aud dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to uielr property.which offers inducements to the classes above named. The prooei ty consists ol six Thousand Three Hundred Acres 01 land, located lu the counties of tiastou and Cusaveiand, hi me State of North Car oilna, at King's Mountain iepot. on the Atlanta and Cfaarioue Air Line railway, now owned by the Richmond and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for tUly years past as an iron property, and has been', worked at various points, but. cnleny at the site- of the celebrated VeUow Ridge Ore Bank, which hits always yielded - an ore noted lor its richness in metallic Iron, and Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends lor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f i-tf feet, shewing at that depth a vein ol ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as &i per cent, of metallic Iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the (acta 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 mouths, however, the owners nave discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's Moifhtain, (five 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 found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which is 10U0 feet above the level land, 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which erops oat at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing In oue place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this four other vein h?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. 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 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 manganese, limestone day 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 nities to those who may wish to engage in such bus iness.

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 could be divided into small farms that would give to each farm variety of 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.

BR4NCI1 ROADS. ; 'it has been a matter of some inter est in the State; and some discussion in a general way, as to what use is to be made of our penitentiary convicts when the railroads on which num ber of them have been employed are completed. It ' has been suggested that profitable use can be found for the great bulk of them for some time to come in draining and reclaiming the swamp lands in the eastern por tionof the State, a use to which a portion of them has already been put with good results. In his last ; mes sage Governor Jarvis calls attention to another way in which they can be, employed to good purpose and i with great benefit to the State, which is in construction of the road beds of short branch railrpads connecting with and acting as feeders to the main lines running .through the State. This ia not an original idea witb the Govern or, but it is a good one, and - he has by incorporating it in his message given it prominence before the people that it might not otherwise attain. There are sections of this State where short roads from twenty, to forty miles in length would open up splen did properties, add to the number of farms, and farm products, largely increase the value of real estate, and add immensely to the trade of the terminal points. What the -main lines do for the State in bringing hrr in connection with the markets of the world; these short lines would do for the sections which they pene trated, and as the small streams, gathering their tributes from the hillsides; pour them into the great channels and make the river of com merce, so will these feeding ioads add to the business and prosperity of the through lines. . ! . Following outTthis idea as suggest ed it would not be many years before - there would - ' be fliany. short roads constructed in this State, the number constantly increasing until we had one of the most corns plete of railroad, systems with trunks and branches reaching every desirable locality in the State, open ing up . new industries - and new sources of wealth. There might be some trouble methodizing a system of this kind and getting it into good working order, but it is one well worthy not only of the serious consid eration of our legislators, and ; those who direct the affairs of State, but also of the men who lead in public enterprises and in the material pro gress of the State. ; ; , : Acting on Gen. Grant's declination to consent to the proposed subscrips tion to relieve him from his finans cial embarrassments, Mr. . Cyrus W. Field has returned all the subscrip tions made, which wera considerable. He says he thinks a satisfactory ar rangement has been made with Van derbilt who holds the $150,000 !judgs ment against Grant. The General's real and persojal property are esti mated to be intrinsically worth $175,- ooo. " ' Col. McClure, editor of the Phila delphia Times, in his Raleigh speech, speaking of the treatment of the colored people, said he confessed it with shame that North Carolina did more for and took, better care of the colored : people than the State of Pennsylvania, with all her pretended friendship. . ' It is now pretty well settled that the reported lynching of the two negro burglars, Davis, and Smith, by drowning in the Neuse river, near Clayton, Johnston county, ihe day before Christmas, was a hoax.

AT WASHING. Ton. Dr. Wheeler's fflaUAdministraiion Vanee'a 1 wo Speeches Ransom Coal 4 Have a Cabinet Portfolio The Federal Offices. ! Correspondence of The Observer. Washington, Jan. 10, Men still talk of Dr. Wheeler's mismanage ment of the affairs of his office and of the suspicion of him that is enter tained by the high revenue authori ties. Great satisfaction is expressed that .his term of office is nearing its close ; for there is ' not an individual who doubts that Mr. Cleveland will summarily remove all such office holders as collector Wheeler. A gen tleman observed today that Wheeler's term of office was one long act of of fficial wrong doing, ; He said, what is well known, that commissioner Evans distrusts him and that he is watched most closely. Examination into his books is made monthly. The whole class of Federal office holders in the South is, denounced here by Republicans as well as Democrats. There. is not a day in which I do not hear rejoicing at the prospect ahead of March 4. . ! It is understood here that Senator Ransom could have an important portf oho in the new" cabinet if he would accept it. - But he has caused it to be known that he prefers his present seat in the Senate and that he Will not go into the cabinet. ; The friends of Ma j. Stedman. are saving today that the best North Carolina man for the portfolio is Gen. Scales. I have it from very high anthority, and two independent sources, that Mr. John S. Barbour, will decline, if. he has not already declined, a posi tion in the cabinet. He feels sure of the Senatorship, which is a more com fortable place in view of the great pressure for office that a Vir- finian would have to encounter, his statement is in flat contradic tion of the prevailing opinion, i i There was some demand today for the Charlotte Democrat, containing an article strongly reprobating the al leged course of the two Senators to wards Gov. Jarvis. ; The friends of Vance and Ransom deny the justice of the view there taken. ; 1 4 I The majority of North Carolinians; in fact nearly All in the city, are highly pleased 'with the selection of Col. Holt as Speaker of the House of Representatives. ' He is regarded as very safe man in practical ability and lofty character, who will adorn the position. Further, it is said that the time had fully come that one who bad done so much for the public in so single hearted a manner should be honored by the public-in some con spicuous way. i Mrs. A. Caldwell and son were here Thursday, Mrs. C. B. Denson, of Pittsboro, and Mrs. John C. James, of Wilmington, are visiting Mrs. Robert H. Cowan. The bride of Representa tive Skinner is in mourning for her brother. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner are at the Metropolitan Hotel. Mr. Cowan's new position is that of petition and resolution clerk.' It is better than the disbursing clerkship, which he held, in that his work is all done whil e Congress is in session. In other words, he has a vacation. I The New York World will send its Washington correspondent,; Mr. Theron U. Crawford, to the moun tains of North Carolina to write things up for that enterprsing paper next summer. Mr. Crawford is not entirely a stranger to the Piedmont section of the State. 5 i - Senator Vance says that the Post's report of his speech at the Jackson celebration last night was very inacs curate.- He said that he was proud of his connection with the ; Whig Earty, and not that he regretted that e had not always been a Democrat. The anecdote he related was mere pleasantry. 1 In addition to the gentlemen here tofore spoken of as being aspirants for office under the new administra tion, I hear he following named: Hon. C. Dowd, collector of the inter nal revenue; Edmund (Coote), Jones; Esq., district attorney for the West ern district; Gov. Jarvis, collector for the 4th district ; Dr. A. J. DeRosset and O. G. Parsley, Esq., collector of customs at the port of Wilmington. I understand that the district attor neyship is coveted by others besides Col. Staples and M. Jones, but their names "are 1 not accessible. " Mr. Thomas W. Strange, of Wilmington, is seeking the position of district at torney for the Eastern district.

He said that the sub ject of the bill was thecoming ques tion in American politics. Speaking of Vance today, Col.

Pa., left for Philadelphia, November 20 with $400 in his posses sion, and did not return until Mon day last. He states that on the jour ney to Philadelphia he me a stranger who said he was captain of a schoon er in the South American trade. On arriving at Philadelphia he took din ner with the captain and was per suaded to visit his schooner, the Peter C. Hare. Here he had several drinks with the captain. and re membered nothing more until he found himself at sea and out of sight of land. He went to Porto ' Rico with the vessel, but was not permit ted to - land. The schooner finally sailed fsr New York, arriving last Saturday. Brookson was told - he would be allowed to go ashore the next day; nd went to bed after va hearty supper. He thinks f a ? drug must have been placed in his food, for when he next awoke he was oh a train going to Philadelphia. In his pocket book he found $400 tin bills and a note signed by Isaac Ed son, saying:"! apologize for the trouble I have caused you and the anxiety caused to your family. Your money, which I now return in full saved me from ruin, enabled me to run the schooner to Porto Rico and make a very" successful deal. I shall never be able sufficiently to thank you." Anthracite Coal. Philadelphia Times- The Production 61 anthracite coal in 1884 amounted to 30,500,000 tons, or 1,250,000 less than in 1883. show-' ing that the hard coal people fared well compared with their bituminous mining brethren. The coal and coke output of the region that markets its products through the five pools of Pittsburg ' was 81.707,000 ; bushels whereas that of 1883 was 112,400,000 bushels. The difference in favor of anthracite is doubtless due to the in creasing demand for it for domestic purppses, which threatens in a few years to make the trade independent of the fluctuations of manufacturing interests, outside of their indirect in fluence on household economy. ; Father Semmes. li J -.:-'..v'...
