It) The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the uttentlou -of capitalists iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to their property.whlcb oilers Inducements to the classes above named. The propel ty consists of blx Thousand Three Hundred Acres oi land, located in the counties of Uastou and Cleuveland, lu the State of North Car ollna, at king's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Richmond auC Danville railroad company. The firoperty has been used for fifty years past as an rou property, and has ueen worked at various points, but chietly at the site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its rusnness In metallic irou, and its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends lor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, showing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 60 per cent of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the taets 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, (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 1UUU feet above the level land, 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, whieh crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This, vein can be traced over the top of the mountain tor over a mite, 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 beve been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 65 per cent, of metallic lruvwith a mall 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 mites, 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 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. Very pure and ex ' eeUent barytese has just been found In large quan tity . : . . . i- As a stock and dairy -farm It offers fine opporto altles to those who may wish to engage in such bus iness.

TREE PLANTlNtt. , la Tuesday's Obsebvkr we had a sHort editorial on the care of our for ests, which is a matter of va3t impor tance, more to the coming genera tions, however, .than to the present. The wholesale cutting down of our valuable timber without- providing for the planting of more ia simply 'killing the goose tthat lays the golden, egg." There are certain . kinds of timber now growing in abundance in the iorests of this and other Southern States, some of slow and, some of rapid growth, which are in great de mand for manufacturing purposes in tliis and other States, where the sup plies, by the senseless slaughter of which we complain, have been exs hausted, : whose -' manufacturers are now looking to the forests of this and other Southern States for the material to meet the demands of their business and keep running.; The spoke and handle - factories established in this State since the war have consumed thousands of " cords of hickory an nually, and these thousands of cords require ra great number' of iarees,'as but a very small portion of the butt of each tree, clear and free f knots, is suitable to be turned . into spokes and handles. When one or two cuts' have been taken from; the tree, the greater portion "is left on the ground to rot, when not near enough ' to town to be sold as fire wood. - So also great numbers of oak trees have been felled and converted into stave tinw ber to be shipped abroad, but small portions of these, too, being utilized. Agents of Northern furniture manu factories have gone through the for ests in some portions of the State, which afford desirable - railroad transportation,picked out and bought at insignificant figures walnut and other trees which suited their pur poses," to be cut when they desired to cut them. At the present rate of de crease and demand it will not be many years unless efforts be made to secure cpntinued growth, before North Carolina will be stripped' of valuable timber ' . . j The Baltimore Manufacturers' Reoi ord, speaking upon this subject, throws! out a suggestion that our farmers plant ' black ; walnut trees where fences are needed and string barbed: wire to them instead of to -. - - s - . - posts. ; In time those trees would be more valuable than the farms. "Wheni the trees began to bear nuts the crop, if gathered and marketed, would be no small item in dollars and cents. There are other trees that might be grown in the same way of more rapid growth, though not as valuable as the walnut for merchantable pur poses, while there are some species of hickory, the nuts of whish are equal to the pecan, if not superior, which it would pay to raise for the nut.. There are in England and Scotland today magnificent tracts of forest which half a century ago were barren wastes, ; without value, and which could not now be bought for thousands -of dollars an acre. ' And these, are hand-made forests, it we may use the expression. The trees were imported and planted. . . . 9 ' 5 ' But there are other considerations of . even greater moment than the money interest involved that suggest and demand the care of our forests, which are the soil's protection :in winter and summer, from, winter's blasts and . summer's baking sun. Again: Why is it that the best farm ing lands along some of our rivers and creeks have been destroyed by: the .washing freshets that are now almost of annual occurrence in the spring? ; Because of the cutting of timber from the hillsides, the cultiva tion of the land close to the banks, and the washing of the unprotected soil into the stream beds by the rains,; filling up the beds and causing the waters" to overflow the banks. . We have seen- beautiful ' bottom . fields torn to pieces in a night by the rush ing waters, fields that a quarter of a century ago never overflowed unless after an unusual fall of rain.' These are facts worthy of 'consideration, and a few reasons, among others, that gmiht be urged why we should take care of our forests, not only one of North 'Carolina's ' greatest orna ments, but one of her greatest treasures.- - . V .. ! The assessed valuation-of the real estate Jn Florida aggregates $60,043,-, 655, a handsome Increase over the previous assessment. ? The Jackson ville Herald. says: "This may appear small compared to some States, but if the climate of Florida' could tbe placed at a valuation it would run up the tax figures into millions. ,.Her climate is worth that of all other States combined." Purchases of real estate by Northern and Western in vestors, particularly in the orange- growing sections, are of almost daily occurrence, and many new 1 groves are being set out. " " . .: , Representative Stowe, of Mecklen- burg, has introduced in the legisla ture a bill entitled an act "to furnish information to the people'-' the object of which is to utilize the press for the dissemination of information in ref erence to public : documents,' laws, &c.' It provides that public docu ments, laws&c ;.shall be sent to the newspapers of the Siate, that editors may either publish or give the sub stance thereof for the benefit of their readers." This is a sensible move and should meet with favorable atten tion. ;''.- -f , The rate of taxation in the city of Boston is $17 on the $1,000. The taxes for 1884 aggregated $11,288,369, . an increase of $1,600,000. over the pre ceding year. r.-- , The total of thd undisputed State debt of Arkansas,' "principal and in terest amounts to $4,869,943,1 more than obe half of which is interest, no interest having been paid on it since 1872. The retiring Governor Berry in his farewell message to - the legis lature urges that steps be taken ' to settle this debt. -- - : The vote for United States Senator in the legislature at Ealeigh Tuesday, stood; in the Senate. "Vance 33 York 7s Messrs Perry, Williams, Bond and Twitty, who were prevented by sickness from taking their seats, sent messages asking permission to record their votes tor Vance, ; which was granted. In the House the vote stood Vance 89 York 18.'" - - ' g- 1 ' .. .. s 0 sss 1 - - In 1853 there were 23 savings banks in the State of Connecticut, 50,850 depositors aggregating $8,764,645. In ten years the number of banks i in creased to 48,t the depositors to 121,s 682,' and the deposits to $26,954,802. Now, there are 84 banks, 256,245 de positors, and deposits 'amounting to $90,614,628. ;The amount of dividends paid during the year was $3, 637,192;. 09.

' ' i "A wild man from 'the jungles of Africa,", has been on exhibition in a museum in rnuaaeiphia.- lie was chained to the floor i and ' the police regardingit as a case of : "cruelty to animals?' interfered, ' when " the re moval of his false hair- and 'beard, revealed an enterprising colored in dividual named Hezekiah Williams. He was brought before a magistrate who, however, decided that he had a perfect right to show himself as a wild man if he wished, provided he remained docile and didn't -hurt any body. ' " ; V . : " ABOUT THE STATE. - The Star ' gives a further report of the arrest of colored counterfeiters in Wilmington.' It says:'' At the office of Commissioner Gardner yesterday we were shown a quantity of the spurious coin found in the possession of Ben Allen and his alleged .accom plice, Louisa Allen, together with the moulds used by -the counterfeiters in turning out the various denomina tions of coin. '"The moulds are mere blocks of. plaster of paris, with the necessary indentation in the centre. into which the: hot composition is poured. when an upper block, with its appropriate impression, is added, and the two form the exact .counter part of tjhe coin to be counterfeited We were shown the spoon used : in transferring ' the liquid . metal - from the vessel in which it is heated to the various moulds. The handle is length ened out, so as to protect the holder from, the intense heat, by a thin piece of twisted iron. After the eoin is moulded powder is flashed over it, which gives it a dark color, and then it is wiped off; with a chamois skin. which takes away the bright; new appearance, -and leaves it witna sem blance of having been in use for some time. A file is used to do away with whatever unevenness or roughness may necessarily occur in the process of moulding. The material is in short bars, evidently prepared with a view to the use which is made of it. ; Goldsboro Messenger:" The people near lfiarpsboro Johnston county, held a meeting on January 2nd, and resolutions were passed and petitions will be circulated and' active steps taken to show s the Legislature tbe necessity for establishing, the pro posed county. . They propose to take their, territory from the counties of Johnson, Wake.
