Soldiers Attention!
We have been requested by a soldier of
the late war, to give notice that it is pro
posed to have a grand gathering of the
soldiers of Rowan at Salisbury, about the
5th of July. All surviving soldiers are
urged to attend. The object is to renew
acquaintaintance and cultivate social rel
ations. But one such meeting has been
held here since the return from the tent
ed field, and the one now proposed, it is
hoped, will prove highly interesting and
profitable. - Come to the front.

There is but Kttlc being done in Guil
ford county, ju3t now, iu mining circles.
The Lindsay and Deep River mines are
idle, though both are good properties.
There is a now property being opened
near rieasant Oarden, with nattering
prospects of becoming a successful mine.
There is also a new property being devel
oped, which is some fifteen miles from
Greensboro on the line of the N. C. divis
ion of the R. & D. railroad. The ore is a
brown quartz ore, and is reported to be
very good. The extent of the ore, body
has not yet been defined, though all indi
cations point to a lode of sufficient size to
ustify mining on an average scale. .
At the Point mine in Mecklenburg, a
new shaft house is going up, and the
ground hi being cleared for a mill house,
though it is not known that a contract
has been let for building it.
At the Todd mine they are drifting on
the cross vein, lately discovered, and it
is reported to be two and a half feet
wide a very encouraging fact.
There is no change worthy of mention at
the St. Catherine. The mine is producing
a uniform grade of ore which is shipped
to the Yadkin Chlorination Works at
Salisbury for treatment.
The Rudisil mine is being rapidly un-
watered, and in fact, the greater part of
the mine is now open. Ore extractions
have already been commenced from the
lower levels. Vigorous work is being
done on the "Bush Hill" end of the vein,
the result of which has not yet been
stated.

Mr. Rlitor: In your last issue I Saw
that the big guns were firing for the1
nominations of Messrs. Kluttz and Mc
Kenzie. As for Mr. Kluttz he would
make a good representative, and we hope
he will find favor. Mr. McKenzie is a
worthy young man of some prominence
and no doubt could make better laws
than a half dozen who uphold and ap
prove of the mortgage system. 1 hough
we think we have men more suitable for
the place. We want a man of more ex
perience, a farmer, one who knows better
now to took to the interest of the people.
As the majority of the people for whom
the laws are made are farmers, I think
they have a right to send who they
choose, and should send a man of their
own vocation. The farmers should begin
to work in that direction at once, l he
farmer's clubs should take hold of the
question, nominate their man and all
cfing together. When this is done some
thing will be accomplished. .The dav
was when the tiller of the soil made the
laws and the day must come again.
Hoping to hear from a more experienc
ed pen, we are yours,

RESOURCES.
All the concentrating machinery and
tools have lately been shipped from the
Designollc Works, near Charlotte, which
indicates the final abandonment of that
plant. It was, built several years ago,
and was expected to supplant other
modes of treatment, but for some reason
not given to the public, it has so far fail
ed in its mission. It seems to be going
the way of most all the "processes."
The Henderson mine is down about 70
feet, and they are encountering trouble-1
some ground.
The Hendly mine, in Union county,
but near the Mecklenburg line, is being
actively prospected. A very considera
ble dump has been accumulated, and
some of the ore has been milled. The
results obtained were large enough to
stimulate greater work. The ore is val
ued at $30, Which is probably much too
high; as the ore is free milling. $10.00
would be good enough and would be
nearer the mark.

that our lack of public spirit is not due
to favorable surroundings. If we loox at

part of our leading citizens, we will prob-
ablv find one of the causes of our not!
keeping abreast of the times. Each one
of the towns named here voted to issue
bonds for large amounts to grade and
nave the streets erect water warks, elec
tric lights, etc. Asheville voUug as much
