By LYNN MSBET
RALEIGH, May 10—Several cur
rent incidents prove that interest
in development of North Carolina’s
1 mineral resources has not abated,
, even though less publicity has
; been accorded them in recent
I months.
I Item No. 1 In the current list is
opening of bids this week for con
struction of the first unit of the
U. S. bureau of mines laboratory
on the State coUege campus.
Plans have been drawn for the full
complement of buildings and
equipment to house a regional of
fice of the bureau of mines to
serve half a dozen southeastern |
states. Only one unit will be built!
now, the others to come later. A
branch office at Asheville has been I
established and contract for the,
building already awarded.
This is a federal-state coopera
tive project, with TVA and other
governmental agencies participat
ing, and is intended to test re
covery methods for iron, magnes
ium, chromite, tungsten and other
essential metals._
Item No. 2 lnfi* conference
now in progress at Raleigh of sev
eral groups interested in develop
ment of the Deep River coal fields
in Lee and Chatham counties. The
coal mines are not new, but indi
cations are that out of conferences
now going on will come a plan for
more extensive workings than be
; fore contemplated. Almost any
| time announcements may be made
of definite plans for promoting a'
j real coal mining industry in that
; area.
ibcm D 10 xcvivtvA uiicicob ui
the tungsten deposits of Granville
and Vance comities discovered a
few years ago and regarded by
many geologists and mining en
gineers as one of the outstanding
"finds” in recent years of the vi
tally essential tungsten metal in
America.
Item No. 4 is the test drilling
for petroleum in eastern North
Carolina. Long contemplated as
j a potential source for oil, the
; coastal counties of the state have
lately claimed more attention
from the big oil companies.
North Carolina has been dubbed
the “sample box” of the nation for
minerals and precious stones. Al
most every known mineral can be
found in the state. Trouble has
been they were not available in
commercial quantities under ac
cepted methods of recovery and
at prevailing prices. With new
methods devised or with growing
scarcity increasing innate value.
Tar Heel mineral resources might
move into a far more important
place.
Besides coal, tungsten and pe
troleum—which give imminent pro
mise of worthwhile development—
the state is known to have large
quantities of iron, manganese,
magnesium and copper that might
prove “workable” when experi
ments now pending have been
completed.
Immediate interest centers in
coal and oil. Whether either can
properly be designated as "min
eral” is a question for the experts.
! It is significant, however, that de
| posits of both are found in the
I eastern half of the state, whereas
it has been generally assumed that
the mineral resources belonged to
the west.

A Mother’s Work May Be
“Never Done” But Her Joy
is also Unending....
There are a great many footsteps, and sleepless
t
nights, and occasions for grave concern In the
years a mother Is raising her children to adult
hood. But she finds ample compensation In Her
children's well being; In their zest for the real i
joys of life; in their maturing Integrity and ap
preciation of such things as regular Church at
tendance. On Mother s Day particularly, as she
walks to service, her family with her, so deep Is
her heartfelt pride that no gift of rare jewels can
fill her with greater happiness. Give to your
mother generously, on Mother's Day—not only
in tangible gifts, but give her yourself, in com
panionship and affection.
