LEASE OF BOYLSTON
MINE REVIVES TALK i
OF THE DAYS OF OLD
( Continued from page one)
and dollars worth of gold was taken
from this section" when mining was
carried on here in the latter part of
the last century. The report, which
was published 1896, says:
"The gold of Jackson county has
been obtained almost entirely from
placers or detrital beds. These are
situated chiefly along the southern '
slopes of the Blue Ridge, near Hog
back and Chimney Top mountains.
"The most important locality is !
Fairfield valley, where Georgetown
creek, one of the hed streams of the
Toxaway, is said to have yielded be
tween two and three hundred thous
and dollars. The deposits extend for
several miles along these elevated I
basins, and have been by no means
exhausted. The origin of the gold i
here is doubtless to be sought in the 1
the quartz veins of the Blue Ridge,
which rises on the north and east ? a
precipitious wall of gray gneiss ? to
a height of 700 or 800 feet above the \
valley. It is along the base of this '
wall, where Georgetown creek has 1
cut a deep channel that the gold has
been principally obtained. ,
"The deposits in Transylvania i
county, east of the Blue Ridge, and
the headwaters of the French Broad,
will probably be found to have a sim- ;
ilar origin, and are evidently a con
tinuation of the same belt of de
posits."
Older citizens here recall the days
of activity in gold mining about the ?
section referred to in the above state 1
report. It is said that the beautiful
Fairfield Lake, on the property own- 1
ed by the Jennings heirs, covers a
great bed of gold ore, and is the
central spot of the biggest deposit
described in the state report. 1
Mica is also coming in for much
interest just now, as It ;a said that
great deposits of this valuable gift
of Mother earth are to be found in
the Hogback and Cold Mountain sec
tions of Transylvania and Jackson
counties. Men report making as high
as $30 a day in gathering the mica
in the old way of gathering it up,
sacking it and taking it to Asheville
for sale to the mica shops there.
With improved machinery and
methods, it is the belief of many
citizens that gold, mica and other
ores and minerals will be taken from
this section in large quantities with
in the near future. As the vein of
gold starting at Bo/lston, where the
company is now wo?k'ng, runs clear
through Transylvania county and in- j
to Jackson, citizens alon^r the route !
of the vein are becoming deeply in- I
rerested./ Many men from other sec- !
tions have been here on trips of in- J
spection since first publication of the I
'.casing of the Boylston mine by the ;
exploration company.
CAROLINASNOT TO !
FIGHT OVER AUTOS.
Raleigh, Jan. '!7. ? "The eneourag- j
ing ray of light and hope for us in i
North Carolina :s seen in the fact ?
that our citizenship and our govern- j
ment have recognized conditions for ,
what they are and have made
stupendous efforts to adjust them
selves to weather the storm," said .
Governor O. Max Gardner, back from
New York, the financial center, and
Washington, political pivot, of the
nation, speaking of conditions in the
nation generally.
"In 3ome important respects North
Carolina was the last State to feel
substantially the effects of the busi- ]
ness panic. We had made compre
hensive plans to adjust our operations
to its demand even before its ravages :
began to shrink revenues. Therefore,
I feel it is not unreasonable to bo- '
lieve that we may be the first State j
to cscape from its Krasp. We have
put our house in order. We have not
only adjusted our operations to live |
through it, but when its weight lifts,
this State will surely be one of the
first to be able to move off the pres
ent plane and push ahead with ac- '
reiterated progress."

HARTSELL ISSUES
CALL TO MEMBERS I
The Baptists of North Carolina are j
called upon for a great Free Will of- j
fering for State Missions the second 1
Sunday in February. We must raise
J86.000 by February 14 or default in
our payment of btyids to the Whit
ney Bank and Trust Company of
New Orleans.
Baptists have never defaulted in
their obligations but it is going to
take sacrificial giving to raise this
amount. Realizing the emergency of
the call of our State Mission Board,
the pastors and the executive com
mittee of the Transylvania Associa
tion met at the Brevard Baptist
church and decided to call upon the
churches in this association for a
special offering along with the other
churches of the state.
We hope that every church will do
its best to reach the suggested
amount. These apportionments are
only to serve as a goal. We hope that
many may go beyond the amounts
suggested. The Association is asked
to raise at least $300.
The treasurers of the churches are
earnestly requested to send the money
raised to Walter Durham, treasurer
at Raleigh, as soon as collected.
(Signed)
Paul Hartsell, Moderator.
