The Charlotte Chronicle says ::
"Mr. Jack Reinhart, of Lincoln
county, has struck veritable
bonanza. At least, he has found a
gold nine, in a cotton field on his
farm, for which he has been offered
$4,000 in cash, which offer he re-
fused to accept. The ore uncover.
ed is OF the richest quality, and
the vein is large and well defined
one. Parties who have seen 1t and
who are competent to judge,
say that it is one OF the richest
mines ever developed in this
spctiOn.
