Nuggets of Gold in North Carolina.


Another surface gold mine has been
discovered in North Carolina. Several
weeks ago gold was located in Stanly
county ont the property Of w. 8. IngraA
ham, who at once gave parties permission
to prospect for gold. AS result an ex-
traordinary rich find is reported, and
nugget weighing over 100 pennyweights
was picked up. A large number of
others weighing from one half penny.
weight to sixty pennyweights were also
discovered. The property could have
been bought for $500 before the dis.
covery, and the owner has since refused
5000 forit. The oldfashioned "rocker"
is the only means so far used in working
the mine, and the gold is generally easily
detected without the use of the rocker.
The mining of monozite is also new
industry in the gold belt of Rutherford
and Mcdowell counties, and the ore
brings 800 ton at the abroad station.

AFREIeHT SMASH.
Two Trains Come Together in the Grand
Trunk Yard.

Yesterday morning, about II O'clock,
two freight trains started out through
the Grand Trunk yard. One was under
the charge of Engineer Pearson and the
other under charge of Engineer Moses
Doughty. Both trains were running in
the same direction, approaching switch
which united the two tracks. The acci-
dent may have been caused by the switch
being misplaced or by the failure of one
of the trains to stop and let the other pre-
cede it. But just what caused the collision
the agent, or the yard master, could not
say at the time. Pearson's train was
not hurt. Doughty's train was pretty
well broken up. The engine, No. II, did
not suffer materially as far as the iron
work was concerned, but the cab was
smashed up and some other injuries in
ficted. The cars were ''No. s., Chicago
and Grand Trunk mo. 1902 G. T. R.
Reading Despatch;" &c. T. R. No. 1914
Montreal DESPATCH" and a fiat car. The
first two cars were loaded with paper
pulp, the third with corn, and the fiat
car with wood. The freight cars were
badly broken. No one was hurt. The
damage will probably amount to several
thousand dollars.

THE TORPEDO STATION.
What Has Been and win Be Done at
Great Diamond.

At Seal Cove, on the back side of
Great Diamond Island, the government
is erecting torpedo station. This is to
be both storage house and an operating
station for torpedoes. When completed
it will have nothing to attract attention,
but will be very strong fertilization in
case of attack, and even then it can
hardly be reached by shell, for it is pro-
tected in the rear by very steep b ank,
80 or 40 feet high, covered with a thick
growth of timber, and it's death-dealing
instruments are for the purpose of keep
ing vessels from coming near the city so
that vessels can not get at the front har-
Dor. It will present a very peaceful ap-
pearance to the Unparalleled eye, being
trlrfed over and hardly distinguishable
from the rest of the land.
Under the supervision of Mr.. Sealy,
the excavations have been going on
since the frost left the ground, and at
present have reached depth of about 25
feet. The excavation is all solid rock,
and every morsel has required blast to
loosen it. At present, about 25 men are
employed. A pier about $50 feet leng
has been built, at which the materials
necessary for the construction of the sta
ton are handled.
The station itself will consist of a
casemate IS feet long by y feet wide,
and about ~ feet high, in which will be
placed the instruments necessary for fir
ing the torpedoes, and complete tele-
graph outfit for learning the position of
vessels from observers who will be sta
toned at some distance. Running to
this point from the water is long gal
lery about four feet wide, through which
will run the cable. IA 12-foot stairway
leads up at the rear of the casemate to
the open air above. The walls and floor
are to be of thick concrete, and an arched
roof is to be made of about four feet of
concrete, on which is to be placed about
10 or Is feet of earth and fine stones. A
ventilating shaft leads up from the CEN
tire of the casemate.
This station is to be used more as an
operating station than for storage for
the deadly torpedoes Torpedoes will
be placed at known distances all over the
harbor, and by means of the telegraph
outfit the station will be kept informed
of the course, speed and position of YES
sells entering the bay, and when the YES
sci is in the right position the torpedoes
can be fired from Diamond Island, al
though the gunner cannot see the vessel.
Another station is to be built similar to
this one at Diamond Cove, and already
the ground has been cleared.

A False Report.

A false report has been going the
rounds of many papers East and West to
the effect that DR.. Clark, the president
of the United Society of Christian En-
deavor, is about to retire from his duties
on account of broken health and increas-
ing age, AS DR.. Clark returned from his
years journey around the world in better
health than ever, the rumor is evidently
false, and since he has as yet scarcely
reached middle age, the second reason
given for his reputed resignation is mani
testify absurd.

place. Yesterday couple OF men and
two omen made a fire to cook picnic
dinner close to Mr.. Young's cottage and
left the smouldering embers. When re-
quested to extinguish them, by cotragers,
they only abused those asking. With
the heavy wind of yesterday if Chief
Ball and his assistants had not extin-
guished the flames they might have
spread again.
