THE GENOA - HCDVERY.
a Wsil Defined Mineral Ledge Of Gold
and copper.

The fact that we'll defined copper
lode, carrying with il large percent
age Of gold and silver, exists in the
mountains little west of Genoa, is Ell
listing the, attention of mining men,
who will soon induce the embarkation
| of extensive capital to demonstrate that
tive. A few days since Mr.. Il. Ii.
Bcnce, late Assessor Of this county, Il
practical mining man, and one of the
principal owners in the VOltaire mine,
in the development Of which cCnsidera-
Die New York capital will soon be
thrown, visited the Genoa district to
make surveys Of the recent locations.
In connection with his required visit
he ascertained, during a ha3ty eXanin-
alton Of the country, that the mineral
belt, bona fee, begins at the base OF the
mountains and extends a mile or more,
up the mountain side, to the west Of
the toW!2.' The course of the mineral
bearing belt, like the Comstock, runs
nearly north and south. Mr.. B1nce
made a superficial examination of four
locations, and more particularly Of that
OF the German mine. Although there
have been out few days work devoted
to that property, the result exhibits an
extraordinary prospect, consisting Of a
good sized vein or deposit Of copper ore.
But, as yet, the labor expended upon
this and other properties examined in |
hat vicinity has not been sufficient to |
determine their actual resources. The
terman mine, which, is it were, APP
pears to be the "key note Of rich
md undreamed of mineral belt, is situ-
tied in y canyon one mile west of
Genoa, and near the contact of slate
with that Of granite. That
nine, as far as uncovered, shows vein
# copper ore from two 10 three feet
hicl and widening at the bottom Of the
The ore has the appear
nee of being piethoric with copper,
nd Mr.. Bence's opinion is that its
maximum yield would le over sixty
'er cent. in copper. Assays have be,n
made from the ore of this mine, carry
ng more gold and silver per ton than
iould be required to pay the working
f three tons OF the ore-that is to say,
rom taking it from its natural conii- ,
ion to making it Il merchantl bic COM ,
lOdity. One assay made from the ,
'erlnan mine ore, yielded Il result OF ,
. pr cent. copper, SlS in gold and 5. ,
l silver per ton. Mr.. B4nce states 4,
nat the other mines which he eXuul- =,
lcd impress him with the assurance -.
nat the investment Of capital in thai .
ERECTION will not meet with anything !,
ut the most satisfactory results. !

southern Cotton MiIIs.

Boston Herald.I
Boston representatives of the several
freight lines doing business with the
south and southwest say that, although
this is generally the most quiet Of all
seasons in the year, their business has
picked up most wonderfully. Not for
more than half a dozen years have
there been so many shipments Of goods
to the south during this period as
there are now. One shipper alone
has paid and contracted for the ship
ment Of cotton machinery, upon which
the freight bills alone exceed $40, 900,
and there are others who are doing
almost as large a business in that
direction. Mills are being enlarged
and new structures being erected at
Clifton, Piedmont, Rock Hill and
Columbia, s. c., Augusta, Ga; Char
lotte, N. c.; Natchez, Miss, and
Montgomery, Ala, besides other
points of less magnitude. This sudden
stimulus to trade is said to be the re-
suit Of a union Of northern and south
ern capital and enterprise.
The mills are generally superin-
tended by eastern men, and the opera
tiyes, for the most part, belong TO the
class known at the south as poor
whites" negroes being employed for
heavy outside work. While the labor
Of southern spinners is not equal IN
point of skill to that utilized in north
ern cotton factories, the employers
say that their men possess the advan-
tage of being cOntented with their
situations and wages, net engaging in
the formation of trades unions or
strikes. The employers also claim
that, while perhaps the quality of all
their manufactured goods may not be
equal to those turned out at the north,
they are able to buy cotton at first
hands, saving several profits and
freight charges, and can supply the
southern demand at lower rates than
can be afforded elsewhere.

General Trade.

The leadingtopic Of interest at pres
entin business circles is the probabil-
tiles off breakup Of the ice blockade
in the upper rivers. Tho weather is
80 much softer to-day, with a greatly
moderated temperature all over the
country, that a hope is expressed for
an early resumption Of navigation.
Not a single arrival or departure yes
terday or to-day, and no receipts Of
produce by river for a week past, rem
ders the situation decidedly unsettled,
unsatisfactory and uncertain. Bust
ness. while not entirely at a standstill.
is nearly so, and as no shipments have
been made by the river for several
days, trade is confined to filling orders
for people living along railway lines OIL
for the local demand only. This rem
ders traffic decidedly slack. Dealer
