Monroe Enquirer
Monday night there was a ball in a
building near Hargetts Stables and,
as usual, the ball ended in brawl.
About midnight the peace of all those
living in the eighborhood of the ball
room was broken by yells, screams,
cries of murder, pistol shots, and other
sounds connected with a mldnig ght
brawl. Men and women were all en-
gagged in general row, the cause Of
which no one seemed to know. There
was no damage done except few
scratches and bruises For a while
it looked as if some one would be hurt
seriously tor one fellow was down and
both sides were fighting over, him and
he received the blows of both friends
and enemies AS soon as possible the
row was broken up, the ball was over,
and several Of those who had partici-
pated in the ball and brawl were in

and that they widen in depth and dc

This and much more can be said ot

tains copper veins that carry enough
ore to supply the world for centuries
and if properly worked, would make
the Lake copper mines" dwindle into
insignficance Davidson, Rowan, Ca
barrus. and Union counties have long
lines OF silver, lead, and zine veins,
some Of which are worked to a depth
Of over 700 feet, and in one shaft In
this county native silver is found at a
depth Of 10 feet in an eight-foot vein.
One gold vein has been worked l3O feet
wide as an open cut, and is worth about
$3.50 per ton. Many others, from
three to sixty feet wide, have been
worked below the water level, and
found to have pay ore in them. SO it
is readily seen that the reasonings alone
are not wildcat and fallacious.
There are over 100 mines in this
county alone; yet every one is idle.
Why? is the very natural question.
Not that there is no vein matter here
not that the veins do not carry enough
ore not that the ore is not rich enough
to be worked but that the ores are re-
fractory sulphide ores, from which the
gold cannot he saved as by products.
and at profit, and less at profit.
Millions of dollars are lost thus; but
there is no reason why it shonld be so.
The ores can be mined at as little cost
as any others in the world The aver
age ore is as good as any elsewhere, but
it is refractory. Listen, then What
is now dormant, improbable, and lost
can be made the most profitable, and
this country rendered the richest in the
world.
Erect proper reduction works, and
treat the ores for what they contain.
An ore is not worth what it contains,
but what one gets out of it. First,
work the ores for the sulphur in them
and render this profitable for sulphuric
acid, and agricultural fertilizers. Then
the gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc
they contain will be rendered free, and
can be saved as by products, and at a
profit, and without going to Africa Or
anywhere else. This can be made the
Ell Dorado of modern times. and with
the precious metals extracted at prof
it, forever settle the monometallic and
bimetallic financial question.
We have the richest country in the
world, if we only take advantage of op-
portunities.
