Nearly al of the stores were closed by 7:30 to 8 o'clock. With the exception of special occasions this is the first time the stores have been closed bo early perhaps in years. The arrangement is intended to be per mauem miring tne summer months. The Sun is glad to note that so many of the merchants close early. The clerks who work hard all day will now be given an op portunity to rest at tiigbt, to a tend fchurch and to take any little recreation that may be offered They will thus be refreshed and invigorated, and in much better condition to do a days work. TheiH employes will, in consequence, get better service. We congratulate the merchants upon their action and trust that great good may result from it. IMPORTANT TO THE CITY. Now that the municipal ques tion js to a large extent settled let us turn our attention to the needs of the city. A patron wrote a com munication to the Sun several days ago requesting that a Board of Trade be organized here. We urge that the matter have consid eration. Salisbury is being look ed to from far and near as one of the best business centres in the State and needs this organization Iff some kind of a bureau of in formation. No city in the South perhaps has more glowing prospects for the future than Salisbury has just now. The mining interest recent ly revived near the city will likely J do much towards building up and bringing business here.

The tfown needs capital to pus the improvements onward. Ca '.... . . . - i ltaljfits are seeking good mvejt rments and more of them would come here if they knew the condi tions the rich resources Salisbury has to offer. By all means or ganize an information bureau. Do so at once, begin reaping good from it at the earliest possible time and the city will soon rank among the leading cities in the V Southland. Col J.

The papers say that W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., who married Miss Virginia Fair in New York City Tuesday, will not be 21 years of age until next autumi, while his bride is in her 28th year. During the month of March there were thirty-four trusts char tered in New Jersey, aggregating fees amounting to $130,000, and representing stock capitalization of something over $1,500,000,000.

When the American navy was fighting Spaniards at Manila, and the American army and navy were doing the same thing at Santiago, there was wildest en thusiasm displayed around the bulletin boards in the streets of all American cities.

Maybe the lion will lay down with the lanib, and the nations shall beat their swords into plowshares and not learnt war any more." Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Nation al Democratic executive com mittee, is quoted as having said, "I will be glad to take a hand in the next battle in favor of the peo ple. 1 pray God that the people will succeed in that tremendous struggle. If I could see a Demo cratic president and Congress elect ed in 1900 I would feel like saying in the language of the good old man we read of, ''Now, Lord, let Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy Salva tion."' Brother Jones, the Ashe ville Citizen says, should stay with us. The show will have just be ?un when the things come to pass of which he speaks. Champ Clark makes this ro seate prediction: "William J. Bryan' following the example of his illustrious predecessors, will be elected in 1901, and be followed by a long line of successors of his faith, the people's faith, for 1 have an abiding confidence that if the American people ever again get a taste oi a genuine Democratic administration they will like it so well that, like Oliver Twist, they will cry for more." He says a change from a government admin istered by Republicans and Mug wumps to a Democratic administra tion "would be like going out of midnight darkness unto the cdorv of the noonday sunshine. The proposition of a . private syndicate to duild an underground railway for New York involves an estimated expenditure of two hun dred million of dollars. The magnitude of the thing again illus trates how plentiful is money in this country that its possessors should be driven to try to get in terest from it by investment un der ground, as well as in the air, and all tbway between. To put monev into something or other li- that will pay is getting to be a pretty desperate sort of a prob lem. A battalion of native troops for service in the island is to be enlisted in Porto Rico. These men will be required to possess the physical qualifications of soldiers in the United States Army, and will receive the same pay and al lowances. Their flag will be that of the United States, Porto Rico having been ceded to this coun try by Spain and being now an American possesion. If the ex periment succeeds, the island should in the future le garrisoned almost exclusively by Porto Hi can troops under 'the command of American officers. The army re organization acjt provided for the enlistment of a native force not only in Portd Rico, but in the Philippines. WThen the Filipinos have laid down their arms and ac cepted the soverignty of the Uni ted States, a native force will doubtless be organized there, thus permitting a reduction in the size of the American army now opera ting in the islands. And our sol diers should not be kept in Cuba to die of tropical fevers if any other arrangement can be made which will insure the maintenance of order in the island. Aguinaldo's Bight Hand Man Dead.

This morning we had a conver sation with three men from Wil son county concerning newspapers. They were men whose ages were between thirty and fifty years, and they said that they were un able to read or write. This prompted the question as to what they thought of the proposed Con stitutional Amendment, and the answer they gave was: '"We are against it, for it will keep the white man who can't read or write from voting. " Further inquiry revealed the fact that such information had been given them, and was being scattered right and left in the country. We took pains to show them that they had been imposed on, and changed their minds as to how they would vote. Delay is dangerous. Every pos sible means should be taken to get a clearddea of the amendment before the people in all parts of the State.

GOLD, COPPER, SILVER. TWELVE MILES OF PAYING VEINS ON PROPERTY Enough Vein Matter On the Newman Property at Gold Hill to Keen Twenty Large Companies Busy for More Than a Century Mr Newman's "r Letter. The Allowing letter was written by Mr. J. J. Newman, of Salis bury, on January 25th, and it caused the purchase of the Union Mine near here, which is already being worked and which promises to be one of the best paying and richest mines in the world. Mr. Newman has brought to Salisbury and to this section a vast amount of capital, and capitalists who will clo much for the communities sur rounding the richest mines in the world. The letter follows: Salisbury, N. C. Jan. 25th, 1899. Mr. Wt. G. Newman, New York. Dear Sir: I have, begun work on the Union Mine adjoining Gold Hill in this county, and the work is now progressing satisfactorily. This Union Mine is one of the great mines of the country and is a wonder in itself; but, the greatest thing about it is the immense vein of gold and copper bearing ore that runs through the mine prop erty for over a half a mile. This vein varies from 30 feet to 100 feet thick on the surface and is a thor oughly oxidized ore down to wa ter level, which is abont 35 feet down. Then the pyrites come in and the ore becomes very raf rac tory to mill by common amalga mation for the gold contents. Above the water level, the ore is free milling for gold and does not carry much copper, as most of that has been leached out. The copper vein is known as the "Big Cut" copper vein. It has an open cut on the vein about 300 feet long, 25 f6et deep and 25 to 30 feet wide, with a tunnel at the bottom that runs through the vein out to the surface on the side of the hill. At the bottom of the open cut, there is a working shaft 128 feet deep on the copper vein. The ore at the surface runs about 3 per cent, copper, at water level it is 5 per cent, copper, at about 60 feet the ore is about 10 per cent, copper and deeper down tne ore gets richer, from 15 to 40 per cent, copper, until at the bot tom of the 128 foot shaft, there is large sheets of native copper that runs the ore up to a high grade and very valuable ore. The gold contents of the ore running from $3 up to $7.50 per ton, and this average obtains all through the vein. At the bottom of the 128 foot shaft there is a concentration of the vein to about 30 feet thick of very high grade copper and gold ore. Ihis ore was mined, cobbed and shipped to Baltimore by the owners in 1860-61. The work was only stopped by the war and its re sults, and has not been resumed since. Then, the qre was hauled 15 miles to Salisbury in wagons and shipped by rail to Richmond and Norfolk and thence by water, and made to pay handsomely, not withstanding the immense expense of shipment. Now, the ore can be mined for $1 per ton, hauled to the railroad one mile for less than $1 per ton, and shipped to the northern smelters for 4 per ion to Baltimore, $5 per ton to New ark, Constable Hook, Ansonia and other buyers. So that the expense of marketing the crude ore is about $7 per ton. 5 per cent, ore has 100 lbs., 3.0 per cent, ore has 200 lbs., 15 per cent, ore has 300 lbs., 20 per cent, ore has 400 lbs., and 40 per cent, ore has 800 lbs., of copper to the ton. Copper, to-day, is worth about 15 cents per ft., so one can easily calculate the profit of min ing and shipping even 5 per cent, copper ore, crude to the smelters, who are onlv too willino- tn huv it. The gold contents of theore should pay for the expense of shipping to market, and the balance will be profit. There is enough ore in this one vein to last a 100 stamp mill work ing 2 tons to the stamn ner dav, or 200 tons a day for gold alone for thirty-three years, and then only work the vein down to 100 feet. lo work the vein for copper, one will hava to go down below water level and work the ore for what there is in it. This ore will pay to ship or to work on the ground by water jacket furnaces, or to refine it and sell as ingot to copper, or to concentrate and ship, or to ship crude. The shaft in the "Rio- Cut" is j now full of water. I am having a j boiler, pump and hoist erected at j this shaft, and when completed ; and in working order at the bot- torn, I will be able to ship one car load of 10 per cent copper ore per dav. this 1 will do inside of 30 days, in 60 days I can and will ship from 3 to 5 car loads per day and in six months I will shio 10 car loads per day. I will have the work of forking the water from the shaft to begin within a weeks time and will get to the bottom in less than a month, when the ship ment f ore will begin: t Estimating this vein thirty feet thick, 3,000 feet long on this prop erty, 3,000 feet deep, would make 270,000,000 cubic feet of ore, this, at 10 cubic feet per ton, would make 27,000,000 tons of ore; esti mate only 10 per cent ore would make 5;400,000,000 lts..of copper, and this at 15 cts. per 1t. would be $810,000,000 alone for the cop per in the one vein. "Working 2i0 tons per day for 300 days per year, would take 350 years to w k the ore twat. Calumet & Hecla is down 3,000 feet and more. That mine is a baby by the side of this one vein. There are several other veins of copper on the mine; besides there are two or three silver veins that from the top of the ground down will pay to work for the silver alone, as some of the ore runs as high as 500 ounces of silver per ton. and there is native silver at the bottom of the 110 foot silver shaft on the mine, and this vein " alone runs for one mile through the property. There are also some 10 or more gold veins on the prop erty that runs the whole length of the property. In all there is not less than 10 to 12 miles of copper, gold and silver veins on the prop erty, every foot of which will pay to work for the contents of the veins. There is enough vein matter on this one mine for 20 large compa--nies to work for more than a cen tury. The question naturally resolves itself in thef act. i Why has this property been permitted to lay idle since 1S61 ( It is answered by the fact that the miners were old men, did not know what they had were tied up by minor heirs and did not have any one they could trust to work the mine for them, and did not care to put the money in to work it and have been hold ing the property as an investment for their heirs. I have not over-stated facts. They will be borne out by competent investigation and by actual work ing of the mine. Kespt. icc, J. J. Newman, M. E. , "Go South, Young Man!" - Mote money has been made in the Southern States in the .last twenty years than will be made in the next fifty years in Cuba, Porto Pico or the Philippines, and the chances for money-making in the South haveonly commenced. The price of iron for the world is now made at Birmingham, Ala., and that city will shortly make the world's price of steel.
