RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 49, 1851
PORTS GOLD MINES FOR SALE.

an Saturday the Goth day Of December next, on the
Opremises. shall offer for SALE by virtue of de-
Thomas Pors and others, heirs at law of John Por-
ts deceased the celebrate and far famed Gold Mines
known as the PoRTIS' MINES
The said mines are situated in Franklin County about
thirty miles from Halifax town, twenty miles from
renton, and eighteen from Louisburg. . .a
The tract of land contains about 1900 acres, lying
Immediately on Shocco Greek, and for farming pur.
poses alone, is valuable estate; but its agricultural
valuei is completely ecpsed by its immense value as
mine.
There have been few instances in North Carolina,
where estate of such vast magnitude has been
for sale publicly ....,...-.
These mines have been worked about 1s years, and
it is estimated that million of dollars have been dug
of them-and there parts OF them now as rich
as the sands of the Sacramento. ..... ..
A large portion of the lands-the very choice parts,
carefully reserved by the late proprietor, which
he always called his '' POCKET BnOK."
The value and richness OF these reserves are beyond
all human calculations An effort will be made to di-
vide the mining lands, to bring the lots within the
limits of individual enterprise-very few men being
able to purchase the whole estate.
To the enterprising capitalist here is most inviting
ed-even the portions that have been worked sIll a.
bound with the precious ore. and those huge piles OF
rock and sand by the ignorant thought valueess under
the control of scientific men, would yield unnumoered
thousands. after paying the cost OF machinery and
laboS.
ry cartoad of gravel will produce penny-weight Of
gold dust. The water to wash is close at hand and
timber and fuel in abundance on the land The DWELL
ing house is large and convenent-aso large number
of framed negro houses, almost new, together with
every necessary house. This land is sold for divis
ion among the heirs and must go for what
it will bring. A credit of one. two and three years
will given and bonds bearing interest from the lst of
January next well secured will be required of the pur-
chaser and given the lst OF January 1852
Letters addressed to me at Louisburg will receive
prompt attention.
