negro man, whose name has escaped us,
while Out hunting was shot by his dog.
The aceidut wcurred near the refsi
dencc of Efjq4 W. II. Fraley, and the facts
are these : ihb dog was playing with his
master, jijniing around and on him,
when thejdogs foot struck the hummer
of the guo csiiKsing it to explode. The
load took ffftct in the side of the negroes
faco, fracturing the cheek hone and cut
ting up the side of his face in a frightful
manner. He will probably recover.
Axotheu Social Club. A number
of tle yohiig gentlemen and ladies of
town met Tuesday evening and organised
4he "y-aidrBve Club," and will hold
their first i'utcrtainment iu the parlor of
M.L. HoljneJ, Eq., on New Year's night.
We umlertaiid that the members of this

CiihistmaPuesexts. Our town was
Uever better supplied with pretty and

and lesslh retail. All the Dry Goods

A Evijv Time. The Christmas holi
days should be a pleasant season to all,
aud would be far more so generally if it
were possible to keep whiskey out
of the social, circles which gather during
that timf. Admitted as it usually is,
the Chrisiinas holidays are productive of
more, serious mischief titan any other
days of jhicj year. Let those who are
lroiuiiii themselves a jolly tjuie at
Christma take heed, Sorrow ancL death
He iu anibush near those who drink to
intoxication. Have your family re-uniouF,
eat your Christmas turkey, have your
harmless playa and candy stews, but
don't gejf drunk, because it is dan
gerous.

during Court week we learn are highly pleat

down ore at the big cat is kept ap. This
is the first time iu nearly 3 years that the

The Mining outlook in this district is
exceedingly quiet, probably more so than
for mouths past. Yet there are prepara
tions gong on in various quarters for un
usual activity after the holidays. At the
Gold Hill Mines the water is being kept
out of the deep shafts, and prospecting is
going on in the Old Field Mine.

At Dutch Creek work has closed down
expect to reuew operations with the
new year.
The new lode discovered on Mr. Dolph
Heilig's farm is, in the bottom of the shaft,
about three feet wide. Containing quartz
intermixed with decomposed slate. An
other shaft has been sunk to the depth of
30 feet, opening a vein strong with iron
pyrites. The assay of ore from No. 1
shaft showed a value of about $10 per tou.
Sheuld this property be developed, it is
favorably situated, and has an abun
dance of-water conveniently near. The
prospect heje is favorable. .
Mr. Cope, of the Bullion Mine has been
in the city for several days. He is here

FkEsipEXT Garfield's Gold (Mine.
It is not generally known that there is
a gold mine iu Stanly county owned by
the late President, Jas. A. Garfield. The
mine is known as the Flaggtowjn mine,
and was bought by-the President shortly
before he was assassinated. President
Garfield uot only bought the mine, but
established at the mine a post-office call
ed Flaggtown. The mine has been lying
idle, but the men in charge of the prop
erty have received a letter from Mrs. Gar
field stating that she intends to visit the
mine in person next summer and make
arrangements to have it proper! v! worked,
Char. Obs.
Flaggtown mine is In Montgomery
county, and was owned, in 1881, by a
company consisting of several Congress
man and distinguished citizens of the
north and west, of whom President Gar
field was one. Judge Hughes, of Peun.,
Hon. Beuj. Wilson, of West Virginia, and
Hon. Mr. Flagg, after whom the mine
was named, .were stockholders.; It was
formerly known as the Beaver Dam mine.
It was first discovered about ithe year
1824, and for a number of years after ex
tensively worked as a placer mine. The
present- Treasurer of the State, Mr.
Woith, spent a uumber of years there,
and was succeeded by the late T. J. For
ney, who opperated it on a small scale up
to the opening of the late war.

T. K. Bruner, Esq,
Dear Sir : I have read with great in
terest the communication printed in your
paper, signed C. C. McPhail Ch. of Bu
reau, t Mines &c, tbe same having been
forwarded to me by John H.Enniss Esq,
of your city. For a period of nearly 13
years I have been actively engaged iu
mining and manipulation of the ores of the
'Apalachian Belt," from actual exper
ience, fully concur iu the ideas expressed
in the above article. There is no amount
of stamping, crushing or attention will
ever render these sulphide ores free for
amalgamation Wcy are not rebellious,
only so far a resisting the aSfiinity to
quicksilver, and this fact alone, led me to
suck the true method for profitable and
easy reduction. I have succeeded in a
process. The plan is simple and inex
pensive as compared to the methods, in
vogue I transmute the low grade ores
iuto high grant) by concentration aud
then by a simple constructed furnace I
destroy the enveloping or combined sul
phur, iron &c, thus rendering the gold
"free," and ready for a perfect amalga
mation, and ridding the mass from nil
substances or gangue tending to flow the
"quick." The , operation is simple, the
work continuous from the tables or
plates the sulphides pass from, if the or
dinary batteries are used to save the free
gold in the ore, and I am glad to say
that I can get, and have obtained in every
run from 90 to 94 per cent, of the actual
gold contained in the sulphides. Of
course the development of this process of
reduction has cost me much labor, study,
privation and money, but it is perfected
uow, and I would like it brought before
all the owners aud operators of the mines
in North Carolina. The idle mills on the
belt, the money spent iu the vain at
tempt of obtaining results by amalgama
tion, the wrecked hopes &c, of people
engaged in these enterprises, should at
once shew them that a new departure,
fiomthcold ruts must be made. This
done 1 fully believe that Virginia and
North Carolina will be the heaviest gold
producing locality on this hemisphere, if
uot the world ike time has come "for
action, and 1 look for a great industry,
made very profitable on the "gold belt,"
traversing the two States named.
Very Trulj' Yours,
Robert B. Allen,
M. & C. E.
It will afford pleasure to all interested
iu mining' to have a clear and concise
statement of just what the process is. As
a rule, processes have been failures, and
this plausible process must bo thorough
ly explained, and practical results ob
tained before the public can accept it as
any better than its numerous predecess
ors. Thousands have beeu swallowed up
bv-Drocesscs. which if spent uuder trround
would have shown to the world only
what deep mining in N. C. cad.
A good thing has happened in the Sen
ate. The rich Senators, w ho are for the
most part men of no culture or: experience
have been p. need on committees-of the
least importance. The Nabobs are highly
disgusted. They may have bought their
way iuto the Senate, be it said, but they
a; unable to pay their way into high
positions in that body. This is excellent.
! it gives us a better opinion of the morale).
i and self respect of that body. WM. Starr
Blackxer, Dec. 18tb, '83.
Dear Watchman :
I wiit pleased to see a communication
from our old friend "Stock :uan,r :n yonr
last issue, and by the way his bngle don't
give any uncertain sound. There are lots
f good ideas in old Stock, if he will let
them out. He don't know much about
tish ponds, carp and catfish, but as a suc
cessful farmer and stock raiser there is
none in these parts bis equal. Doubtless
his suggestion to the farmers that they
write for the Watchman will meet the
hearty approbation of the many readers
of that old time honored sheet. Why
not 1 there is much valuable experience
locked up iu the minds of the old reflec
ting sons of the soil of Rowan county.
Our young men need it; our profession
demands it. The old year is tottering.
Many of us have toiled hard during its
period, and after gathering in our pro
ducts find that we have not come oat
even. There is something lacking; w
need to get out of the eld ruts. Farming
requires brains and intelligence as much
as mussle. The world keeps shoving and
we must keep pace with its motion. So
come along, brethren, with your experi
ence in farming and stockraisiug and we
wiB make the old Watchman what it
ought to be to us, and benefit ourselves
by the labor,
I wish you, Mr. Editor, a merry Christ
mas, aud happy New Tear.
Clod Knocker.
We cordially reciprocate the kind sen
timents of "Clod Knocker," aud shall be
pleased to promote the interest of him
self and brother farmers by giving place
to their views au experience on farm sub
jects. .
Behold how good and how pleasant It Is tor brethJ
