For some time there has been an under
current of adverse sentiment about the
operations conducted at this mine, and
lately, it has about become an open secret
that all is not well there. ''Money," a
Londou, Eng., financial journal says in
its issue of Sept. 21st, as follows : "Re
commendations to purchase shares in the
Genesee Gold Mine should be ignored."

may prove startling news to some, and

Mining Ed. Salisbury Watchman :
One of the most import-ant resources of
our State, that will increase her wealth
and population, consists of the gold and
silver veins traversing the Appalachian
chain of mountains. The country where
most of the important mines are located
may well be called "diehls croft" or
devil's land too poor in soil and too few
in people, ever to add much toward plac-
.Norm e aroima nrst ranx in tne na
tion. That our mineral will one day
make us a mighty commonwealth there
is no question, but as to how soon this
much to be desired era of prosperity is to
come depends much upon the voice, pen
and eleeds of every gooel citizen who is
anxious to see within our borders millions
more of stirring people, giving better
markets for the fruits of our ficlek', better

An
Appeal.
7b merchants and business men of Salisbury,
of every class and grade, greeting:
We take the liberty to beg that you
will, during Mr. Pearson's stay here, close
your doors and suspend business after
seven and a half-o'clock at night, that
and making our valleys and mountains
echo wilh the hum and whir of looms and
wheels. Capitalists of Europe, of the
Western States and even of the Western
mmm'' ieriitor.es are now' careiuliy in
vestigating our mineral eleposits.
If we all fold our hands and go toslcc-T
like Rip Van Winkle these halcyon tlays
will not come in our time. Our guns,
like his, will turn to rusty barrels, ou
hounds, to skeletons and the 'possum will
wax lat on persimmons growing over our
undeveloped treasure of gold and silver
just the same as one hundred years ago.
That you have long ago fully measured
the importance of an honest development
of our mines is attested by the columns
you have devoted to them, and yon kuow
that now is the critical time when one or
two "Wild Cat," or questionable schemes
for deceiving capitalists will undoubtedly
prevent the sale and working of hundreds
of mines that could be honestly placed
upon tnejr own merit3. in order to do
my part toward saving our mines from
unjust condemnation I will briefly relate
some facts with regartl to theSice-le mine,
now called the Genesee, located in Mont
gomery county. A man from Ohio set
tled in North Carolina many years ago
and took up the calling of "Mine Specu
lator." He secured an option or bond on
the Stee'e mine on certain promises w hich
he has failed to fulfill, and offered the
property to II. H. Warner of Rochester.
N. Y. Li 1835 Prof. S. E. Lat ti more, a
mining engineer and assayer of good
reputation, was sent down to examine
the property, in company with a Mr.
Stewart, and to give his opinion of its
value. I have The statement of three
miners, made before witnesses, to the fol-
c r -
4th. Experienced mining men will bear
me out in the statement that the so-called
vein on this property is not c-.pable of
producing more paying free milling ore
than will keep a a-stamp mill in opera
tion. The formation is an argillaceous
silicious schist of dark color anel extreme
ly hard, the gold is only found on the
surfades of the lamina of the rock when
broken apart, associated with 1 to 2 per
cent of zinc blende, and generally a 1 the
gold is visible to the eve. It ismyt:andid
opinion that it would be difficult to pick
one ton of specimens showing free gold
tiom a thousand tons ol rock. ;
5th. If we had not the statements, so
lately and seemingly, on the part of
either Warner or the "Mine Speculator,"
so anxiously rushed into the Charlotte
papers of such very large returnr ,1 would
estimate the ores taken out to average en
manse from $2 to Si per ton. The capac
ity of a 40-stamp mill on this character of
ore is about 15bU tons per montftw with a
value, I would Jjudge, in the absence of
trustworthy reports, of from $3, 000 to $b,-
000 which in the case of this company,
with such a large office staff and hard
mining: would not pay expenses.
In conclusion I would advise capital
ists that there is no need to believe as
true the statement published jn a Char
lotte paper that SoO per shar--, has been
offered and not accepted for Genesee
Stock having a par value of only $1 per
snare.
On the unwritten history vf gold min
ing, the elear bought experience oi men
have shown companies to go to the haz
ardous length ot buying up gold anel re
meltiug it in order to make up big re
turns one c vmpauy even to pay thirty
nine consecutive monthly dividends,
when their mine was not producing a
single dollar, in order to unload their
shares on the guileless public. Another
to offer shares, representing a paid np
capital of three millions of dollars, when
all the money that was ever paid into
their treasury was the mighty sum of
lifty dol'ars. These practices of outra
geous fraud and robbery, that should
have packed the Northern prisons as
thick with convicts as corn standing in a
field, have crippled the mining industries
for seven years and done iacalcuable
harm both in the South and North.
North Carolina has many good mine",
and all capitalists need do to save rb k oi
loss, is to come here and inves igate for
themselves and talk freely with our good
citizens, who will gladly welcome them
and guard them from a'l schemes that
will not show well in the bright sun light
of noonday.

Iu 1SSG after a deal with the said Warner
the mine was equipped with a 40-stamp

was made of its production; but suddenly
in July last jthis community was surprised
by an article in a Charlotte paper an
nouncing a deposit of $20,707.06 for month
of May and a few; days later of $21,549.15

this point they ought to satisfy all

the most surprised people ftver these
large returns are the miners who have
taken out the "slate rocks," said to carry
the gold, and for some reason, (probably
because these miners are not reliable
witnesses), the said "Mine Speculator,"
as manager, has found it important to
stop their criticisms by posting up a no
tice to the following" eflect: That any
miner detected looking too intently at a
piece of slate within the bounds of .said
"Mine Speculator's' MthorUyVWill be
fined and the spy or iuformer will be
rewarded by a gift of $2, and I presume
the manager will take as a gift the $

Now the important question for the
wellfare of our mining industry at large
is, can the above returns of gold, be an
actual production of the Genesee mine ?

Now I will admit that if cotton seed
were ground into meal it would be more

are sold, it vviil not ba many yca-s until
our lands will scarcely tprout a pea.
Fanners, don't t-a'A your cotton seed, no
matter whit price, is ofi"erel you; it is
suicidal. Give it back to your exhausted
lields and they will make you a generous
reiarn.
