U heat is about all housed ami wnere u was out in tho ground right is as good as eould be aslitd for. inng oats are food. Tobacco and corn are both look ing well but needing ram. i. Carolina. After a pleasant drive of eight miles wo cross the Yadkin river just north of the Uwharrie and on en quiring wc find that wc are only three quarters of a mile from th6 Moratoek mine; so we decide to make that our first objective point. Arriving at the mine we find that the greatest activity pre vails. Mr. Muffly, the superintendent, is getting the new mill ready to begin work and in a week's time expects to begin milling ore with ten stamps. We are shown about the mine by the superin tendent. There are huge piles .pf "ore, it) which the gold can sometimes be seen, nicely stacked up at the head ofa tramway ready to be put in the cars and conveyed to the mill, about three hundred yards down the mountain. The mine is being worked as an open cut, lhat is, no shafts are being sunk and everything is ex pected to go through the mill Irom the "rass roots down. We learn that the nronertv is owned by three northern p.uties, and that it is a elosc company aad no stock is for sale. Leaving the Moratoek we tiiul our-s.-dvos after a circuitous route of half a mile at th.e Worth mine, and here we are initiated in the mysteries of using the pan and hand rocker. We hear a pecu liar noise on the branch below us, am" wpndiiiir on? wav in that direction we find an old man busily engigcd in rock in-g what looks to us like an old barn awn throu 'li len-'thwisc. lie tills us his i a hand rocker. The dirt ami reek; -.1 I are put m it with several inieiveis oi water, and with .a motion like rocking a b.ib 's era lie the dirt is dissolved and is good people o: me com noes to Wake Forest to company. At this place the mill (forty stamps) is wot running but the pumps are lifting the water in a steady stream .'rom one bundl ed and fifty feet below. Mr. Skyrmc, the superintendent, shows us through the mill and explains the modus operandi oi treating the ore from the time it is blasted out uutil the gold is extracted and melted into bars. Leaving the Appalachian we pas.s by the Morris Mountain, Sally Coggins, Crump and Pass Harris mines. At the atter, live miles above the mouth of the river we strike across the country for hams leaving; the mining section behind us and convinced that if we weremouied men instead of poor newspaper scribes we would pitch our tent in this land of gold. Had this locality been in California it would have been torn to pieces years atrOi but capital and enterprise are sadly lacking in this part ot the "Old North State." Take for instance the Uwharrie river, a small stream one hundred feet wide, known to be rich in gold, the centre oi this district, every vein in the section crossing it, every foot of land on the slopes of the mountains which shut it in showing gold, and every stream empty ing into it having been successfully worked for gold and still the first thing towards working its bed has never been done. , The day cannot be far distant when all these facts will be known to the outside world and fortunes will be made by those who take advantage of it.

LlU-sLri. up until the rocks are all clean, and then by a different motion all the heavier matter is settled to the bottom and the lighter rocks are thrown out. When this has been continued until there is but very little left in the bottom the gold is picked out and the rocker is ready to be refilled. We also see at this place the panning operation going on, which is done in very much the same way only on a much smaller scale, a pan about the : c 4i..-iti i.-kii lw.iM'r iloi1 size, oi a common nmg i'.'
