Thermal City Tests For Gold RtrrHEftFORDTON, N. C. July ‘I—W. H. Hinn of Milwaukee, Wis consin, and V. T. Edmondson of Madison, Wisconsin, sold miners of many years’ experience, are testing the Grove gold mine at Thermal City, Rutherford County, and plan to open it soon. They stated this week that prospects are bright for gold there. The mine tract consists of 33 acres of land located on second Broad River. It was pur chase^ by the late E. W Grove of Asheville some years ago. The heirs of Grove are having the mine work ed. Messrs. Hinn and Edmondson plan to install a machine that will handle about 1,000 cubic yards per day and will give employment to from 30 to 50 men for several months. This will mean an expen diture of from $30,000 to $50,000 and will be a great asset to the county. Another group of gold miners will be in the county soon from the far west.

Pays Out $4,000 Four thousand dollars was paid out to shareholders of the Cleve land Building and Loan Association holding fully paid stock, it was an nounced this morning by J. L. Buttle, secretary-treasurer. Checks were mailed out Saturday, repre senting the semi-annual interest period. \ ft leitr&iaui iiom r-wft uurenu informed him that unless construc tion was begun soon, the grant would be withdrawn. Bids Were Rejected The dilemma of the superintend ent is this : the grants aren’t enough for the projects, and con tractors’ bids have been rejected by the county commissioners and the board of education. The Dover school is also in the same predictment. Mr. Smith said he was applying for a loan from the state board of education which, he believes, could be managed by liquidating it from funds received by the board of edu cation through the county per cap ita tax. He will ask the county com missioners and the county board of education to approve such a loan. If this expedient doesn’t work, Mr. Smith said, either the whole project will be abandoned, and Shelby will get, no new buildings, >r a compromise will have to be made. The high school might oe compelled to get along without the arcade, he said, in order that enough money might be provided for the other work. For the Dover school, the con tractors lowest bid was $22,750 and the PWA grant was $20,000; for the negro school, the bid was $10, 991 and the grant was $10,000; fcr the high school arcade, the bid was $4,400. again larger than the grant made. No New Teachers Captain Smith also said this morning that the new teacher al lotment would give Shelby the same number as lear year—67 white and 18 colored. But with the increased number of pupils, figured at be tween 120 and 150 on the basis of a 10-year average, the city should have received about three nea teachers, he declared. The winter epidemic of measles, cutting aver age attendance, is responsible for the drop.
