BY MINING !: There are 395 stamps for
crushing ore in this State, and in addition,
other crushing or reducing machinery
equal to l64 stamps, making total power
for ore reducing equivalent to $50 stamps.
This is close estimate, and probably does
not include some of the less important or
scattered mills. 1t will require a prophet
to predict what machinery of this character
will be introduced during this year which
will greatly enhance these figures. Rowan
will have large accessions Of pulverizing
machinery, and if the other counties will
keep abreast of her, the above named fig
ures will reach over a 900 during 1884.

is by all odds, one Of the hardest working
