Rotoan Gold Mines.-We have in this

been discovered in the United States. 1t
is small vein, from four 10 twelve inches
wide. Many bushels of the material taken
from ii have OVERCOME 5000 10 the bushel
and some as high as $500. We sea it sta.
ted in the Mecklenberg JeffersoniaD that
ll,S7S cwt. Of gold had been taken from
it by seven hands about n month since.
As might be expected iu so small vein,
the water soon became unmanageable,
and they began again a, the surface. and
struck vein parallel to the first, and
nearly as rich as that. These veins, as al
so all those in that region, are believed to
increase in richness and size as they de-
scend. There are six or eight other mines
in the same region, of extraordinary rich
ness, and different in many particulars
from the other vein mines in North Caro-
