Mining Lands Are
Leased In Fines
Creek Township

and were here Saturday to sign the
papers. The youngest is 63 and the
oldest, is 87.
The tract is on Wilkins Creek, and
adjoins the property of Carolina Pow
er and Light Company. It is twenty
live miles from Waynesville,
At one time the tract was worked
M H. LaFollette, an uncle of the
famous LaFollette boys in Wiscon
sin. Operations ceased, not because
of the lack of minerals, but because
of the roads, and expensive costs of
getting the mineral ore out.
Mr. Sharpe pointed out that the
ore would have to be hauled to Lake
Junaluska, and there loaded on cars.
The hauling will be most expensive,
he said, and there is six miles of the
road which needs repair httdly, he
pointed out. He also said that the
county commissioners had agreed to
co-operate in getting the work on the
road.
When Mr. Hill bought the property
many years ago, he sunk a shaft JU
feet deep, and then a tunnel, some
eighty feet long to the bottom of the
shaft. The shaft and tunnel will be
re-opened before long, under the su
pervision of Carter Bryson, mineral
engineer, of Canton.
Samples of the ore have proven
that the mineral deposits are worth
at least $50 a ton, and are rich in

is far above the average for the oie,
Mr. Sharpe pointed out that the cost
of mining the ore in
umuld move expensive.
Should present plans work out, and

to be assayed, prove as satisfactoiy
as some others, Mr. Sharpe said it
would mean the estamisnmcn.,
small village at the scene of opera
tion Heavy mining machinery would be
brought in, and the operations would
get underway in a big way.
When asked about the koalin de
posits in that action, Mr. Sha pe
said- "We have all the metals theie
that" we can say grace over, and our
operations, and plans are to go after
the metals and leave the rest alone.
The possibility of a smelter on the
site, or even in the county is still
'remote, although it is the opinion
of Mr. Sharpe that one would pay
if located at Lake Junaluska, where
rail and truck transportation are
available, and also adequate water.

we get going."
A group of men are now at work on
the Redmond property adjoining tne
tract just leased by Mr. Sharpe. The
men are doing research work and re
claiming some of e shafts used
years ago. ,
The territory is quite rough in the
section where the minerals are, and
right now roads are a problem con
fronting the group.
Under a WPA project, men are al
lowed by the agency to work on lands
that show indications of becoming
mining centers, and work the prop
erty up to the point where it can be
determined whether it will be profit
able to continue or cease operations.
AH of the Walker heirs here
Saturday to sign the lease were over
sixty years of age. They were:
Ed H. Walker, .87, Crab tree; A. C.
Walker, 73, Crabtree; J. Lawrence
Walker, 71, Lake Junaluska; Nathan
P. Walker, 81, Crabtree; W. M. Walk
er, 78, Lawrence, S. C; Dr. R. L.
Walker, 74, Crabtree; Mrs. Eva Jones,
63, Crabtree and Mrs. Lilly Hill,
daughter of the late Fannie Walker
McCracken.
Coming on the heels of the Fines
Creek mining announcement, comes
the report from Luther Cogburn, of
Cruso, that five men will spend
three days a week opening new shafts,
and renewing their prospecting ef
forts on his 100-acre farm at Cruso.
Mr. Cogburn reports that at least
E5 shafts have been sunk on his
property, and that he is well pleased
with the mineral deposits found there.
In some shafts, he has extracted
mineral ore, and when a blow torch
was applied, malted silver ran
out. ' ,'

Over 2,000 Books

cording to the records of the libra

new readers taking out books, the

visitors.
The circulation for the month to
taled 2,164, with 259 juvenile fiic-
tion; 1,479 adult fiction; 124 juvenile

and build a new filtering plant. The
present system is inadequate to meet
the demands made upon it.
Engineers have been here and gone
over the present system, and found
that by adding larger lines from the
intake on the watershed, and moving
the filtering plant to the intake, that I
all residences along the line between J
the intake and reservoir could bej
served. The plan has the approval, I
and is being urged by the state board;
of health.
While all this is being worked ou:,j
a special representative of the Muni
cipal League, a water rate expert, has
been called to come here ana work
out a just and satisfactory .vholesale
water rate for Hazelwood. At pres
ent there is no contract on -he water
furnished Hazelwood. Members of
the two boards are in accord that a
contract should be executed.
"It must be remembered," one offi
cial said.
"That both towns are subject to a
court order and probable damage
suits from the Lake, if the sewerage
is not taken from Richland Creek.
The issue is serious, and we have no
time to lose in getting the plans un
derway to take up PWA and get this
work done."
Representatives of the two towns
boards, met this week with represen
tative groups of Waynesville and
Hazelwood, and went over the matter
thoroughly. Business men were of
the opinion that 1 the project is
essential and unavoidable; 2 that
work should be undertaken at once,
in order to relieve Lake Junaluska of
its handicap, and to provide relief em
ployment this winter, and to avoid
ultimate additional cost exceeding
$100,000, should the PWA grant not
be received.
The Mountaineer has learned that
legal action is unavoidable on the part
of Lake Junaluska, if the two towns
turn down this proposition.
