Floating" in Pasqnotank Ulyer Evident That She Was Killed and Had But Becent i Been Pat iu the River Wilcox, Who is Believed To Be Implicated in Her Death, Guarded by the Mailt ia -Coroner's Jury Recommend That He Be Held The Dead Girl's Character Vindicated. Elizabeth City Dispatch, 27th, Five weeks of mystery and speculation as to the fate of Miss Nellie Cropsey terminated today at 10 o'clock when the body of the missing girl was found float ing in the river opposite her fath er's home. The body was dis covered br J. D. Stillman, a fish- erman. who was returning irom the night's fishing trip. Upon O I discovering that the floating ob ontino- oh- ject was the bod- of a young girl he immediately notihed the committee, and Coroner Fearing had the body brought to the shore. -When found the body was floating face downward. All the wearing apparel wras intact, with the exception of the rubber which Nell wore on the night of her disappearance, and that was missing. With the exception of some light discoloration of the face the body was in a state of good preservation and little de composed. The spot where the bodv was found had been drag ged several times since her dis appearance, but with no result. From the window of the room of her home on the river's bank the girl's mother first saw the floating object and cried out that it was her daughter's body, but her relatives comforted her with the assurance that the object was onlv drift. Coroner Fearing summoned a m m jury ot prominent men irom nong the crowd that had as sembled on the spot where the body had been brought ashore, and called in three of the best- physicians of the city to make a thorough and exhaustive au- r -incur 1 ' . - 1 :..i'.. w:i. Liic tiiii o uuuv yuuu Wilcox i was rearrested, lie i w r was last seen with the her on the night she disappeared and is suspected of complicity in her murder. He had previously been arrested and released on a bond of 2,000, and since that time had been staying at his father's farm, several miles from Elizabeth City. The feeliug against Wilcox was strong and it increased to such fury after the girl's body was found that the Governor was asked to order out the militia to protect the jail, which he did. On account of the feeling against Wilcox which was strongest the night after the body was found, the verdict of the coroner's jury and the report of the physicians was not given out until next day (Saturday.) The report of the physicians who examined the body is quite nluminous. It 6avs in sub- V e that there were no marks stan. . 4.u: fviole ueeAC"l'1' "po" wicociitMi .

Ever since Wilcox was placed in jail the prison has been closely guarded. Friday evening feeling was so strong that a clash be tween the militia and the mob was feared. The barrooms were ordered closed by the mayor and everything possible done to al lay excitement. Saturday there was less excitement but feeling continues strong against Wilcox, As a fact, however, there is no direct evidence to connect him with the girl's death. He was I 1 1 i J 1 j I Ie.r UtJ juai uuie ueiure sue uivsienuusiv ui- lystenously appeared but he maintains, with more or less stolid indifference, that he knows nothinsr of her after he left her on the porch of her father's home. The indica tions are that the girl was killed and then thrown into the river, i.i .i . . as indications of a blow on the temple shows, and the prosecu tion claims that it will be able to show that she was struck with a club and dragged to the river, However, there is more or less irresponsible talk about the whole matter. It is really as much mystery as before the bodv was found as to how the girl came to her death. Circumstan ces indicate that she was foully dealt with and circumstances also indicate that Wilcox is con nected with her taking off. That is all. s- mm Miss tropsey s tuneral was conducted at the Methodist church in Elizabeth City Sunday and was yesterday sent to Brooklyn, the former home of her parents, for burial. Rev.

As letters of enquiry continue to arrive by almost every mail, asking for reliable information as to the mineral resources of North Carolina, I want, through the columns of your valued pa per, to call attention to the fact that there are today unknown treasures slumbering beneath the encrusted bosom of the Old North State, that would wrell rej pay the capitalist for any invest ment he might make. Among the most prominent of her min- eral resources may be mentioned bP"1 u men may ue uaum ' 1 1 1 -1 uuuiiuaiice aim ui a. very lair quality. I have recently comj pared some found in this State1 to some imported from the Is land of Ceylon. Both samples are massive and foliated and show a distinct basal cleaveage While it is true that much is of an amorphous nature, yet it is of commercial value. Its composition varies from 90 to 96 per cent, carbon, and from 4 to 10 per cent. iron. By many people it is called carburet of iron, yet, it is not a chemical compound, as it will not fuse be fore the blow-pipe, either alone, or with reagents. Its color var ies from a dark steel grey to a very dense iron black. Hl-2, Gr.2.09. It is occasionally found in six sided prisms, having a tranversely foliated structure. When we remember that fre quently six weeks working of one graphite mine has yielded $200,000, it may well demand attention. It is claimed by those having at the present time a monopoly of the graphite in dustry, that outside of Ticonder oga, Vt., there is no graphite worth having in the United States with very few possible exceptions. This is all bosh; why import 80,000,000 pounds per annum, when we have it right at our own door? It is used not only in the manufacture of the I so-called lead pencils, but it is used to make small cylinders, for ever-pointed lead pen cils. It is used, mixed with half its weight of clay, in the manufacture of crucibles, both large and small. It is the best lubricant known, diminishing the friction of machinery. It is also ay used in electroplating, as it is a good conductor of electricity. The many uses to which it can be put, forever preclude the pos sibility of overproduction. The vast deposits found in Wake, Yancey, Mitchell, McDowell and even m our own county of Burke, bid fair, in the near future, to be come a very prolific source of revenue. The deposit of Cupreous Angle site recently found in this county is said by the Massachusetts School of Technology to be a rich find. Dr. J. E. Warren is in receipt of the above information. As this is the only find of this rare mineral, it is deemed by the writer of great value. C. M. Bower, Morganton, N. C. Practical Mineralogist. A DEEP MYSTERY.
