A view word to con jure with, new mineral to cause man to scratch the upper emit of old Mother Earth at 'he digs and delves for it. A new commodity of which man may dream until they imagiae themselves millionaires roll ing in wealth all evolved from this wonderful "land," that hides away somewhere in its tiny particles the thorja about which ao much hat been aid and wntten of late. And yet, m a way, monazite is not a new mineral at all, as The Herald learned yesterday from Mr. William Earl Uiddaa, the celebrated minera logist, to whom North Carolina is indebted for the discovery aad the demonstration of the faot that mon azite could be found here in commer cial quantities'. Away back in the fifties, isya Mr. Hidden, Professor Charles Upton Shepherd, of Amherst College, visit ed North Carolina, and in company with jex-Sen&tor Clicgman, made a tour through the Piedmont section, and noted the preserves of monrztte in the placer gold mines ef the sec tion. In 1879 when the great in ventor Edison was experimenting with a view to perfectivg his incan descent elsctriq- lamp he wrote to Professer sPans, the great geologist wnere ne coma nna toona. veo Dana .replied that thorla was found in monazite, but that there was not an onncebf monazite in all the cabi nets m America. A few days later Mr. Edison sent Mr,. Hidden to North Carolina to look for. platinum, and it was while here on that mis sion that Mr.nidden discovered that monazite could be found in abun dance, arcd actually shipped to Mr. Edison from the Bnndletown gold mines in this county fifty-five pounds of the monazite sand.. About five years after this date Mr. Hidden came to North Carolina to obtain a supply , of zirooma for the Welsbach Cempaay, which they then used in the manufacture of their celebrated incandescent hoods for gas burners aad shipped them from Henderson county twenty-six tons. It was then known that thoria was a much better material for the pur pose, because the zirconia hoods, by reason ct their great expansion and contraction, were very short lived, and Mr .midden then made an eflort to convince the Welsbach people that thoria (then held to be immense ly valuable) could bs had in commer oial Quantities. In 1887 Mr. Hiddsn shipped from the Brindletorn district in this conn ty, twelve tons of monazite, although eminent mineralogists had asserted up to that time that there was not a ton on the whole continent. This was unprecedented in the history of mineraloffv. Durine 1888 and 1889 one Thomas B. Ashe, an employee j - of the Philadelphia v elsbach Com nanv. came to Dysartsville McDow ell county, near the Bnndletown minei, and began to purchase "sand" from the placer geld mines, many tone of which he shippsd to lhila- iMinnia from Bnndletown and Glen i: i.it . .v.. r. ouch is the ' history ot tne moia- zite industry in the United States until an increased demand for thoria sent representatives of the Welsbach Company to the Worth Carolina neid again, causing an astive business ia the counties of McDowell. Rather- ford and Cleveland during 1893 and Iaas i ;i 15'J4 ana wmcn nas ariwi miner in 1895 buyers and prospectors from points as far away as Dresden, and Vienna, the competition among the buyers already running np the price of monazite to double the fig ares ruling for the two years past. monszite, JUT. uiuuen say, is a constituent part of all gniessio and talcous rocks and v the gniessio rocks predominate threughout the world, so that mona M zite is found in greater or less quan Uties in practically every .country on the rlobe. The reason wnv it is found in such quantities in this re gion is because the great diaintegra tion of gniessio rocks has liberated great quantities of it, and for ages oast it has been washed aown irom the hills to be deposited ia the beds of stresms and thrpughoat the val Ujtt its great specific gravity cans ing it to sink through the lighter earths and form a aepoeu oi varying depths and richness. The greatest deposit of monazite in the world is on the coast of Brazil in the province of Bihia, near the isly Alcobaco. Here the. waves A V bark of the miners, the anrf ;faOne, f. .ffainst the cliffs, wash ' icS a jty lQd lighter earths and leav ing immense deposits of monazite very rioh in thoria. Sacks filled with this sand were shipped to New York in 18S5, the deposit, having been taken for barilla, or tin ore. It was found to be monazite, then believed to be of no commercial value. The output of this mine is now controlled by companies, who ship the sand to Liverpool and Ham burg as ballast, The placer gold mines of Siberia are very rioh ia monaaite, which is rafted dewn the Lena and the Yenisei to the Arctio Ocean and thence to 'European potts; bat this is very expensive and oper ations are neceasarily'oonfined to the few months when the rivers and the ocean are free from ice. Lares qu an ties of monazite are also found in Norway, a large dealer having es tablished himself at Christian!. : Monazite is mined just as gold in the placer mine?, the water curving off the lighter earths and leaving the heavier monazite, -which, in order to be of commercial value should he two-thirds pare monazite. . Monazite usually yields from two to Zonr per cent, of thoria, "sand" containing less than two per cent, being at present uamarketabie. The percentage cf thoria contained can only be determined by analysis, color and specific gravity indicating nothing as to the amount of thoria. Some of the finest samples of , the "sand," apparently, yield no thoria whatever and again the same kind Of sand, to, all appearances, has yielded as high as fourteen per cent. The analysis is very difficult, very few chemists being able to mike it accurately. " Mr. Hidden controls a new and very economical process for extract ing the thoria from the monazite in cotnmencal quantities, but this dis covery, being of great vales, he his never divulged. The price of monazite has varied from twenty-fire cents per podnd in 1887 to as low as three cents in 1894 but buyers are now in the field of fering ten cents per pound for some of the better grades. Mr. Hidden smiles at the etory that thoria is worth $200 per pound, as has baen stated ; and thinks he can find par ties who will' contract. to deliver it at from one-fifth to one-eigth of that Ipnce. An iniormauon to miners, it may be stated that it is of no value ex cept for the manfacture of the Wels bach gs light, and that at a fair es timate a ton of monazite will furn ish enough thoria to make frem 10, OOOto 20,000 Welsbach lights accord ing to the percentage of thoria con tained. It will thus appear that notwithstanding the present im mense demand for these lights, the market is a limited one, that it f Ar fill f Ki 1UUB tames coiimriTimrT(euau!i lil ents to form a pool to keep down Drices. and that there is a possibility that, by reason of the discovery oi new fields of supply or cf a new mat erial cq a ally good for the purpose, the demand for cur monaz.te wm cease. Mr.- Hidden, who furnishes us there facts, has jnst returned from a two months stay in Europe, where he went to meet with the parties controlling the Welsbach patents, and the information given is strictly from "inside" data ; and, farther more. Mr. Iliddea's principal work for the past sixteen years has been largely in the line of investigating the so-called "rare earth, or wmcn thoria ia a member. He has done more than any living man to show that.the so-called "rare earths" are in reality very common and are all to be had in quantity, and has, " in his his investigations discovered and named at least four new minerals, all of whioh are very rich ia thoria.

Railroad men predict that the Seaboard will whip the bovoott and compel Commissoner Stahlman either to declare it off or it will break np the Association. Perhaps yon would not think ao, but a very large proportion of dis eases in New York comes from care lessness about catching cold," says Dr. Syrns Edaon. "It is such a sim ple thing and so common that very few people, unless it is a cue of pneumonia,Ipay any attention to a cold. New York is one of te healthiest places on the , Atlantic Coast and yet there are a great many cases of catarrh and consump tion which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not neglect it." Dr. Ed Son does not tell you how to cure a cold but we wilL Take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It will relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open the secretions and soon effect a per- Eanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bot es for aale by McBrayer fc Wilson, druggist, Shelby, N. C.

Th3 boycott of the S 9 aboard Air Line and the retaliatory measures to which that road hat resorted are matters of grear interest t3 the pab lie, especially to the southern states. - The Baltimore News says : "The declaration of a boycott against the Seaboard Air Line br the Southern Railway and Steamship Association is to be regretted aa it will tend far ther to complicate the railway situa tion of the south, which,at the pre sent time is fir from satisfactory. Experience has demonstrated that railroid wars are expensive, and the ends Bought are seldom accomplish ed. The kind of warfare which the Southern Rail way . and : Steamship Association is waging upon the Sea board Air Lice is un-American, and, therefore, unpopular twith the masses. "The Seaboard Air Line is one of the most aggressive corporations of the south, and has entered this fight with the announced determination not to submit to .the action of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association in trying to force it to become a member of the association. Aside from the apparent nniastness of the boycott , the shipping public will be pat to an inoonvemence. This is tho feature bf the case in which the mercantile community is inteiested. and which in time may ass a mo such proportions as to result in a demand for the terminitien of the boycott. The Seaboard Air Line has thus far- made a bitter fight, and haa sncceeded, by injunc tions and other legal steps in weak ening the boycott. The progress of the tight will be watched with great interest in Baltimore, where three of the lines involved the Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Railway Company are largely owned."
