Nickle in North Carolina.
Wilmington Star.' ' '!
The! demand for nickle-to be used
in plating' our war ships has led to the
inquiry whether it could be found in
any considerable quantities in this
country. i Heretofore our supplies of
nickle have been imported from Can
ada. It was reported a couple of
weeks ago that extensive deposits were
discovered in Southwest Virginia, but
the place for the time being was kept
a secret. The New York Sun quotes
Major E. Willis as saying that this is
probably a mistake, and that reference
was made to North Carolina, where he
is reliably 'informed that the ore is
found equaling in quality that found in
Canada. The deposit, which he says
is inexhaustible, is located in Jackson
county, near Webster, and within four
miles of tjie Western N. C. . railroad.
The ore analyzes from 11 to 32 per
cent, metalic nickle. The United
States wants a million pounds of;
nickle ore Tor the Navy, and he sees
no reason why it can't be got there.
That's another mineral which we
didn't know that North Carolinahad,
which rerriinds us of the fact, which
we have obseved heretofore, that North
Carolina is very much in need of a
first class geological survey.
