PORTS GOLD MINES FOR SALE.

0N Saturday fine goth day of December next, on the
N1premises, shall offer for SALE by virtue OF de-
Thomas Ports and Others heirs at law of John Por
ts, deceased the celebrated and far famed Gold Mines,
known as the PORTIS' MINES
Thesaid mines situated in Franklin County about
thirty miles from Halifax town. twenty miles from War
renton, and eighteen from Louisburg.
The tract of land contains about 1900 acres, lying
Immediately on Shocco Creek, and for farming Pur,
poses alone, is valuable estate but its agricultural
value completely eclipsed by its immense value as
mine.
There have been few instances in North Carolina,
where estate of such vast magnitude has been onered
for sale publicly.
These mines have been worked about 1s years, and
it is estimated that million of dollars have been dug
out of the-and there parts OF them now as rich
as the sands of the Sacramento. .----------
large portion of the lands-the very choice parts,
carefully reserved by the late proprietor, which
he always called his &C POCKET BOOK. -.
The value and richness OF these reserves are beyond
all human calculations. An effort will be made to di-
vide the mining lands, as to bring the lots within the
limits of individual enterprse-veTy few men being
able to purchase the whole estate.
To the enterprsing capitalist here is most inviting
eld-eyen the portions that have been worked still
bound with the precious ore and those huge Ples OF
rock and sand by the ignorant thought under
the control of scientific men, would yield unnumbered
thousands. after paying the cost OF machinery and
labor.
In many parts of the reserves it is believed that
ry cart-load of gravel will produce pennyweght 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 convenient-also large number
of framed negro houses, almost new, together with
everv necessary out house. This land sold for dlvls
ion among the numerous heirs and it must go for what
it will bring. A credit OF one. two and three years
will and bonds bearing interest from the lst Of
January next well secured will be required OF the Pur
chaser and possession given the Ist of January 1882
