Mat Wcant. who pkiyed a tuba during
the war in 4th N. C. Bund, and was prin
cipal bass .player in the old Salisbury
band, ami is still regarded as the most
deuces of their having been forced open,
so that the mode of entrance into the
house yet remains wrapped in mystery.
Even the New Orleans detectives failed
to find any clue, either to the manner and
place of entrance or to point suspicion in
any direction. It began to look like a
sealed book to the detectives, when one
day, some weeks after the burglary, a Jew
called Detective Kerwin from a barber's
chair in New Orleans and inquired if he
thought he could identify any of the
money stolen at De Sair. With the affirm
ative answer, out came from the depths
of the Jew's pants pocket a handful of
gold coin. The detective examined it and
from its appearance, dates, &c., he con
cluded that it must be part of the stolen
treasure. The Jew had gotten it from a
negro, but that was all he could tell. Here
was a clue, the nrst one, and a rather
slender thread to 'work from, but it was
worth handling, as the sequel will show.
The Jew was instructed to keep a look
out for the negro, and hold him at any
risk until arresfedshould he be found.
Some weeks later this was done. The
negro at first refused, but finally told that
he got the gold from aii old negro w.ho
lived at De Sair. The detective went
there and found the old darkey, who in
turn, knewr nothing, but the sight of a
rope ana the convenience ol a live-oak
limb, which was jdly swinging in the soft
south breeze, made his recollection more
accurate. He confessed that he bad some
of the money and that it was buried be
tween two cobs in a field near. They
found the place and digged from the earth
a bag containing $712. in gold. He then
told this story: On the night of the rob
bery I happened to be out and saw John
Henry Green, a section hand, putting
! something over the fence. I began to
I question him when he handed me that
bag and said : "take this and keep yer

been a faithful section band and worked

Which they had received and held in their
possession was stolen money. There was
every presumption that it was so, but
there was no evideice to prove it, and
they were accordingly dismissed. Since
this time, and indeed all along, every
possible facility has been given the offi
cersto enable them to ferret out the hid
ing place of the balance of the money. As
yet no clue has been discovered leading
to any well-grounded suspicion as to its
probable whereabouts.
GREEN MAKES A CONFESSION.
Under the pressure of a load of guilt, and
at the suggestion of "Comfort" his dutiful
better-self, Green gives up and makes a
full confession. He admitted that the
money was part of that taken from Mrs.
Bruseher's house, but that he had nothing
to do with the stealing. He explained
his being in possession of it by this ac
count of the robbery : On the night of the
theft, the wife of one of the section hands
was sleeping in the house in charge of
Mrs. Bruseher's children, and she opened
the door for her husband wlio broke open
the trunk, took the money and gave it to
another one of the section hands, who, in
turn, secreted it in New Orleans. Soon
after this Green says that he got an inti

The following concerning the death of

The New lork Time, in commenting

lose it, were sure in such a case to win.!
W hen we rememuer that the l imcs was

contrived that monstrous crime this is
remarkable admission. We are among
those who believe that a prompt display
of determination to have the verdict at

conspirators to abandon their plot with

their counsels, knows better when it de
clares that the leaders in the great crime
were "ready to dare civil w ar rather than
lose" their object.

man, ine propertv has been explored
with more care and even richer results
have been obtained than was at first re
ported. They have determined to begin
at once to prove the property in depth, as
the surface indications all the way across
the property arc perfectly satisfactory.
F or the purpose indicated, a shaft will be
sunk on the main vein, and work is to be
begun at once. Some of the ore taken
from w ithin a few feet of the surface is
reported to be worth as much as one dol-
ar a pound. This is by actual test and
proves the property to be one of the rich
est deposits recently found in the South.
This ore would yield handsomely with
no other machinery than an old time
chillian mill, supplemented with one ar
rastra. This is the most inexpensive ma
chinery, and it returns better results than
any other reducing and amalgamating
machinery, cost of plant considered. It
is slow, but an ore as rich as that describ
ed above needs a slow and sure process
These gentlemen, have not, however, de
cided on what machinery will be used.
prospectors' glances.
Some gentlemen looking for reliable
mineral properties, for the purpose of in
vesting for themselves and some friends,
have been looking at the "Queen of Row
an," the "Goodman" and the "Harrison."
All of these are controlled by Messrs. S.
R. Harrison and J. Sam'l McCubbins, Jr.,
of Salisbury. The Queen of Rowan has
been noticed in these columns. The Good
man has some fairly good placer territory
and one only partially developed vein.
The Harrison contains 30 acres, "astride
the vein" as the miners say, and has two
well defined veins of brown and sulphide
ores. They are each only about 15 inches
wide, but are, like most all the brown
ores of this region, rich in free gold near
the surface.
These properties are temporarily in the
hands of gentlemen who have been ex
auditing them. Only a brief option was
given, as the people are beginning to
dodge those "promoters" who want
