NORTH CAROLINA GOLD MINES.
CHARLOTTE, IN. c. April IL

CHARLOTTE, w ~ Apli IL.
Since our last, we have heard of the discovery of
very itch ore AT the Lemons Nine. about fifteen
mics south cast from thus place. 1t is believed by
gentlemen who have seen tie ore that one bushel of
the best would be worth At least 50, 0G0, and the
poorest about 800 per buShcl. This mine is stu
ated on a ridge running from Foxss Hill IN a south
wardly direction To the Catawba river, and in every in
stance where the iidge has been penetrated fine
specimens OF its richness have been discovered. A
new mine has been lately opened on the land OF Mr..
Elan Hunter, about five miles east OF Charlotte, the
ore OF which is considered good, some specimens Of
which we have seen. This land, which would
have been considered high at $500, has been increas-
ed IN value several thousand.
The Rodgers nine, about seventeen miles east of
this place, discovered several months ago. is also
found to be rich in the precious metal masses have
been found embodied in quartz rock, one piece it.
self being worth $500.
The Rudisill NINE, which has not been worked
for some months, has been re. opened under fine pros
poets of success.
Every Indication seems To strengthen former opin-
Ions, that the mineral resources of this sect ion of
the country are almost inexhaustible.
