GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!
11l GUILFORD HILLS
Veterans From the Klondike
Open Their Eyes.
FENTRESS MINE VISITED
Out Wes*, Said one of the Prospectors, This
Would Cause one of the Greatest Stam
pedes for .the Mines Ever
Seen.
(Special to the News and Observer.)
Greensboro, N. C.. Nov. 20.—One of
j the heartiest and happiest groups of gen
, tlemen seen here in many a day was a
party of New Yorkers who sat at dinner
at the Guilford Hotel here last night.
It was a party of old California,
Colorado and Klondike gold hun
ters, who had just returned from an
investigation and expert examination of
the Fentress gold mines, located twelve
miles from Greensboro, and operated by
a New York syndicate known as the'
Fentress Mining Co., of which Henry
Dexter, of New York city, is presi
dent; Janies V. Bruyu. treasurer; Wil
iam XV. Green, Ph. D.. of Columbia
School of Mines, general manager; Robt..
D. Douglass. ex-Attorney General of
North Carolina, special counsel.
This company has been operating for
two years an old mine that was abandon
ed at the outbreak of the war, forty
years ago, and the special party present
at the Guilford tonight were old-timers
in the gold diggings, who had come
down South to investigate the wonderful
stories told within their circles of the
success which had attended the search
for gold in this section. They came here
Saturday night and have spent the week
in the country.
In the party were noted Messrs. Ira
j M. Black. W. N. Cory. Addison Dred
riek, W. .1. Green. Dr. F. S. Betts, Joseph
: DeGraff, Clarence Mehonmaker and Jas.
j V. Bruyn, of Kingston. N. Y.; Albert
Vedder, of Schenectady, and William
LV. Drover, of New York city.
An effort was made to ascertain from
I Treasurer Bruyn the significance of this
visit, but he was too reserved and busi
ness-like to give more than an expres
sion of the gratification it had been to
hint tc open wide the eyes of his friends
who had seen gold sights before, but
who, said he, ‘ confess that since coming
here they realize that the half had not
been told them.”
4 Now, my friend," said Mr. W. J.
Green, in reply to a repm-st for his opin
! ion, “all I’ve got to say is that after ten
| years’ experience in the Black Hills and
: other great mining regions, and from
what I have found out here in your coun
! try almost under your nose, out yonder
j at that Fentress mine, if it was out
West, there would be armed guards at
the clean-ups and not a soul would be
| admitted in the shafts without a pass
I and full registration on the mine ivgis
j ter.”
This sounded goldish sure enough, and
; with a persistence worthy of the cause,
j better information was mined from the
l cavernous depths of the nine years’ gold
| mining experience of Mr. Joseph De-
Graff, who spent his life and retired with
a fortune from the gold fields of Cali
fornia and Colorado. He said:
“By invitation of my friends here I
was prevailed upon to take this trip.
We went out Monday to the Fentress
| mine and descended the two principal
shafts, one 80. one I*lo feet, both in the
gold vein. From the latter shaft the
i incline down ihe vein is 240 feet, making
600 leet in all. We looked over several
1 lesser shafts. Every one of us is en
-1 tliusiastic over what we saw and con
sider it one of the grandest propositions
of our whole experience. Why. sir, I
believe it to be a true fissure vein,
richer in gold ore as it go< s down. Why,
mill runs and assays from the lowest,
or 000 foot level, show $40.00 irT gold to
the ton. And I’ll tell you the vein at this
levqJ is KJ foot thick, and l believe if a
new shaf* of 700 feet is sunk further
away it will show the vein to be at
j least 24 foot thick. You just can’t tell
how wide that vein is, for it spreads
out just like a blanket, for I found that
wherever the levels have been pushed to
| the right or left they continue in one
of the veins. It is more like a coal mine
j than any gold proposition I ever run up
i against. Why, out AVest the formation
of the ore veins is on edge, and if such
a mire as 1 have just been lifted from
were discovered out there, it would
cause the wildest excitement and the
greatest stampede over heard of In this
j county. This outcrop extends over acres
and my opinion is it extends for miles,
i “That is not all, either. I found that
the old company who operated the mine
I before the war only worked for copper,
j Why, they did not even hoist the gold
ores, and there are hundreds of thous
ands of tons of these ores heaped up in
! the different levels already for hoisting
without a pick put to them. These ores
alone would average $6.00 per ton in
i mill runs and could keep 20 stamps busy
THE NEWS ANT) OBSF.RVEK, VIfIDAY MORNING. NOV. 21 . 1902;
for years if not another ton of ore was
mined.”
“You are indeed enthusiastic, Mr.
Green,” this chronicler ventured to re
mark.
“Not.without cause, sir,” the grizzled
p:old warrior retorted. "Why. sir, ibis
company is organized with a capital of
one million dollars. Why, sir, then lias
already been expended, first and last, I
am satlfied. half a million dollars in
sinking shafts and loosening up gold ores
in the mines to get out the copper. And
there are only five stamps at work out
there now. Why, sir. out West, that
property would have been incorporated
for every tent of fifty million of dollars
and fifty stamps would lie in operation
in fifty days,' and this nice town you
have got here would have fifty thousand
prospectors herded in the hotels here and
in tents looking for locations. lin com
ing back myself, sir, and I expect be
fore twelve months to see a dozen mines
along this vein and at the one f have
been in all this week I expect to see 2.7
stamps, with steam hoists, air com
presses and al! the modern machinery
for turning out the yellow, boys."
To hear this from a man thoroughly
learned in the gold production industry,
from the ground up; commencing with a
pick at fourteen and stopping with a
fortune at 77 sufficient to sate the appe
tite even for gold hunting; from one en
tirely disinterested in the properties dis
cussed —a stranger to the community is
calculated to make the staid and steady
going people here prick up their specu
lative ears and go themselves to wool tin
the fickle goddess. And they’ll do it,
never fear, for there has been a sub
dued subtle atmospheric influence prev
alent in this section of North Carolina
for years, that has been accompanied
with all ihe indications of gold fever.
It is within the range of probability
that the time is not far away, when
tremendous developments will fan the
spirit of venture into a seething llamo
of excited and exuberant accomplish
ment.
And Greensboro will ride the yellow
crested billow like a Neptune command
ing it.

MAY ESTABLISH AN ALIBI-
Jenkins, Charged With Assault on Mrs, Sjyvey
on Trial.
(Special to News and Observer.)
Asheville, N. C., Nov. 20.—Gus Jenkins
was arraigned this morning in the Su
perior court on the charge of having com
mitted a criminal assault/ on Mrs. Spivey
Fairview. Mrs. Spivey’s identification
of the negro was complete, and the fact ]
was recited of his having come to her
home while her children were away, and .
of his having threatened her with an
axe. Sheriff Lee, the next witness, said
that when Mrs. Spivey first saw Jen
kins at the Jail she expressed the opin
ion that the right man had been taken,
and said that if she had a pistol she
would kill him.
One negro friend of Jenkins testified j
that he attended a dance with the pris
oner in Lincolnton about the time the
crime was committed, while a woman
testified that she went to church with
him about the same time at that place. |
This afternoon the defense made a move
that surprised a number of people by'
introducing as a witness Butler Herndon,
of Lincolnton. who said that he was the
father of the defendant. It was then ‘
shown that the defendant’s name was
not Gus Jenkins, but Redy Herndon, and 1
according to the testimony of his father, j
he was at home until such a short time
prior to the time the crime was com
mitted, that he could not possibly have
been in the vicinity of Fairview. Hern
don does not look like a full blooded
negro.
Edward S. Hewitt, son of ex-Mayor
Hewitt, of New York, has, with an ex
pert mining engineer, been prospecting

are the principal owners of the Trenton
Iron Works, the largest of the kind in
this country prospecting for iron ore |
beds to develop.

ber of resolutions were adopted with re
