MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ernual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumsf
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the mos, intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the oct aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands nssignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

Thesa mines are situated in Franklin County about
thirty miles from Halifax town, twenty miles from War

The tract of land contains about 1900 acres, lying

value 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 offered
for sale publicly
These mines have been worked about ls years, and
it is estimated that million of dollars have been dug
out of hem-and there parts of them now as rich
as the sandsof the Sacramento.
A large portion of the lands-the very choice partE,
carefully reserved by the late proprietor which
he always called his Sc POCKET BOOK. -
The value and richness OF these reserves beyond
all human calculations An effort will be made to di-
vide the mining lands, to bring the lots within the
limits of individual enterprse-veTy few men being
able to purchase the whole estate.
To the enterprising capitalist here is most inviting
