OIL FROM IRON ORE.

We find. IN the last Raleigh Standard, a letter
from Professor Ernm0ns, IN relation TO the
extraction Of Oil from some of the valuable
deposits on Deep River, and which, as far as
we can Judge from the experiments recently
made ia New York. (where quantity Of the
Ore was sent for anal ysis,) leads US TO the
conclusion that quite valuable addition has
been made to the already inexhaustible wealth
Of that section Of the State. Prof. Emmnns
SAYS, that in his hands the Ore has yielded at
the rate Of Is gallons per ton OF crude Oil.
and that he had very small aud imperfect
apparatus at that. The Oil obtained in the
first part of the distillation, is very fine
material, and the volatile matter is nearly all
condensable. In the manufacture Of iron
from this ore, il will be very easy matter
10 obtain its oil, as it has TO be first roasted !;
and when deprived Of It's oil. j, may be re.
duced At once into blooms in the forge. L.
is almost impossible to calculate the amount
of oil locked up in the shales, coal and iron
ore Of the valley OF Deep river. In the ag-
gregate. they are not less than 100 feet thick,
and IL they contain no more than Is gallons
per ton, the amount is enormous.
Thus, il will be seen. that at every new
examination which is made 81 those vast de-
posits on Deep River, new and still more
valuable acquisition is made 70 the already
almost inconceiysbie wealth OF the State !;
and which only proves, what we have said
before. that North Carolina possesses within
her borders alone, miserals Of greater variety
and Of more value than any other SIX States
Of the Union put together.

anywhere practicable. and the oil itself be
refined to that extent to admit Of It's being
used ~ lamps or for lubrieatinS purposes, then
Prof. Emmons has. indeed. made valuable
discovery, and We trust that he will follow up
his Investigations until the question IS settled
10 his entire satisfaction, and the value OF
the oil fully established.
We give below letter from DR.. Gesner.

20 New York. and our readers can see with
what favor he looks upon the experiment.

TO the Alumni Of the University Of North

Odiuituus
1t Is now sixty years since the celebration
Of the first Commencement at this Institution.
In 1898, the number Of graduates was seven !;
in 1858 il will be ninety three. The number
Of Matriculates during the last II years. ex-
ceeded that during the 45 years preceding;
and the Graduates of this year are more nu-
merous than those from 1898 to 1919 inclu-
siye. The progress Of the University in mat
tiers more important, although not suscepti-
BILE Of an exhibiton-so brief and striking as
the above, is marked and gratifying. The
present Senior Glass is favorably distinguish
ed amongst its fellows for scholarship. pro-
priety OF department, and especially Tor the
manner in which it has exercised the prero-
gative of its position in REFRESHING disorder
and giving good example.
We therefore address you for the purpose
of suggesting that the coming Commence.
ment affords fit occasion for the Alumni
and other friends Of the University to throng
the groves Of Chapel Hill, and congratulate
each other, face to face, upon its prosperity
and fair anticipations.
A matter Of special interest in the pro-
ceedings Of the next anniversary will be the
inauguration Of the monument just raised t.
the memory Of President Caldwell. We
hope that large assemblage ofhis pupils will
be present at this ceremony. In day when
the causes Of Literature and Internal I'm
provement flourish amongs us, it is due thai
the public should commemorate the services
OF one So devoted to these interests under
circumstances of adversely and discourage
ment. The obligations incurred by his pupils
are still greater; their entimation Of his mind
is higher; their sense Of his high purpose, hi
ardor, his courage and his purity,-impres
sed upon them in early youth, is more ten

engagement can prevent any one Of then
from doing honor to the memory Of theil
venerable preceptor, by an attendance upor
