PiTTsm»u()’, Nov. 7th, ls51.
To the Stockhohlerx of fhr
O. find It. Ji. S)iinjtany.
Gentle.mKX: The under.signed Roard of
Directors of your Company, having within
a few days jiast visited the work at differ
ent jioints on the (’ape Fear, beg leave to
submit the following brief sfatemont of its
Jirogress and firesent condition. In doing
this, while they regret the anticipations of
the friends of the work of its being entire
ly finished Vty the 1st of January next, will
not be reali.sed, they are yet gratified to
be able to assure you, that it is in a state
of great forwardness.
It may not be impro}>er to call your at
tention to the fact, that the great obstacles
to your improvement occur on the River be
low’ McNeill’s Ferry, embracing Smilie’s,
Silver Run, and Jones’ Falls. Roats can
readily pass from Fayetteville to Jones’
Falls whenev(‘r they can j»a."S the shallows
below Fayetteville.
The work at Jones’ is tbe lowest down
tbe River, next to Fayetteville. At this
point there has been great difficulty in
getting hands, owing to the fact that an
impre.xsion existed in the upper cotuitry
that it was unhealthy, and conse((ucntly
the work there is in a more backward
condition than at any point on the lower
}>art of the line. The lock walls were
within two rounds of their full height, and
dam about seven feet high; there was a
large force at work, and the undersigned
are assured that this point v.ill be com-
jdeted within a month from this time.
They next examined tbe work at Silver
Run Falls. This is next above Jones’.—
Here the work was nearly completed, tbe
lock gates ready to be bung.
The ptiint next above it is Red Rock.
Here the work was finished with the ex
ception of banging tbe gates, and tlj«‘ Dura
w ithin one course of its full height. There
were fifty' bands at work. This location
will be finished in a few days.
The next lock and dam are at Haw
Ridge. Here the lock was finished witb
the exception of a little ceiling; the lock
gates hung, and tbe dam completed—tbe
water flowing over tbe dam its full length.
Tbe point next above Haw Ridge is
Green Hock. We found the lock and dam
completed, or nearly so; the l(K-k gatjs
hung and the water flowing over tbe dam
its full length.
The ]>oint next above is Narrow Gap.
No one unac«juainted with the River,, caa
well conceive the extreme peril heretoffire
in an ordinary freshet, in pas.sing this
point; the River in the ()ap w;us gireatly
narrowed; tin' fall considerable^ and the
current rushing down witb a frightful ve
locity again.*t the jirojecting rocks and an
gles in the River, has heretofore cau.scd it
to be with very imminent danger to life
that persons engaged in rafting could ef
fect a ])assage. We foinid the lock here
fini-sbed, the gates hung, and the dam al.-i>
i finished off, with the exception of a little
: sheeting. A considerable force was cn-
I gaged in finishing it. This dam is convex
' to the stream, and presents a jiicture.sque
I and imposing ajipearauce; and it may ncit
I be out of ](lace to remark, that during the
: floods of last winter, w hich were as high
I as any that have ever occurred within the
j recollection of the oldest inhabitants, al-
I though the work at this ]>oint was in an | jlP hj’ the late John St«wart, I .•A.’jU proceeii
j unfinished and exposed state, it sustained J sell, at the late residence of the Trustor, on
^ ' no injury. | W ednesday the -Sit December next, (beinp roiin-
. ^**1 The point on the line next above, and , Flouschold and Kitchen
m tbe 1 1 1 r -1- ' T' 11 - Cl FLllNTTl RE, consi.^tinir of Beds, Ledsteiids,
^ near the head of Smihe s Falls, is Sharp- ^ahles, Cookinp Utensils, J'cc. AU.,
lime and guano, ^'e., Sic., which mnst thus
find an outlet; leaving out of view the
water pow’er created by your improvement,
which will, in a short time be improved,
and every drop of water be made literally,
“to work its way to the ocean,” which will
belong to you, aud of course encbaiice your
dividends; the developments which have
been made, and whi(h are constantly
making on Deep River, prove incontesta
bly, that the whole of that valley is one
vast coal fiehl. Exp(ri'nents have been
recently made, by boring at the distance
of several miles from the river, and where,
to all apjiearance, there was little probabil
ity of any’ mineral being found; and coal
of the finest quality, and in quantities
apparently inexhaustible, discovert'd. lion
ore too, in tbe greatest abundance, and of
the best (junlity, lies in close proximity
with tbe coal. All these productions must
]iass over your improvement.
From the.se cousilerations, the under
signed are confident that ycmr investments
in the stock of the Company, cannot fail
to yield you an ample remunerating return.-
With great resp’t, your ob’t .serv’ts,
