GOLD III GRANVILLE.
Mr.. T. (. Harris Tells Something
About the New Eldorado.


Speaking Of the story in the Press
Visitor Of Saturday concerning the re-
ported rich gold finds in Granville and
Vance, Mr.. L. &. Harris Of this city
said in an interview to-day:
Your article in Saturdays Press
Visitor on the recent discovery of gold
in Granville and Vance counties was
specially interesting to me. Being an
old Granvilljan myself l Happen to
know something about the yold-bearing
localities III the county and they. are
numerous.
The best known locality is the Lewis
western part Of Granville, near the
Blue Wing Copper Mines. Some time
before the late war the owner worked
it with his slaves. using the primitive
quartz mill called the "arasta.' This
colltrivance is about the poorest cX-
cuse for grinding rock IN the world and
consists of biz stone dragged around.
BY mule power. in circular trough,
| lined with rock The cold ore. SO pull
vcrized, was afterwards treated with
| quicksilver to extract the Tree gold.
| Notwithstanding his crude methods he
is reported to have taken out some
thing over twenty thousand dollars
worth and, on his death, the mine fell
| to certain heirs of the estate. .-.
Since the war, or about 1870, a
| Northern company, through their
| l. Il Il n q
prospecting on the place and sunk a
number of shafts. They found good
ore, in paying quantity, but failed to
complete the lease-owing to the fact
of certain ones Of the legatees refusing
to sign the contract.
Another locality is called the Ven
able mine, situated n:ar the station, OF
Stovall, on the Oxford and Clarksvllle
railroad No work has ever been done
Oh the mine.
Very near to Dabney, a station OIL
the Henderson and Oxford railroad, i ;
we'll known locality, where sone
prospecting work was done, many
years ago. Good ore is reported al
that place, but no systematic work has
been done there.
y few miles southeast of Oxford, OF
Tabs Creek and Ruin Creek, is a sec.
ton of country with considerable gold
bearing quartz scattered over the sur
face. This is probably the very section
of which You write. 1t lies between
Oxford aud kittrell and is crossed by
two railroads, The o. and II. and tho
D. and y.
AS early as lS40-'50 Mr.. Willis
Harris, my grandfather, prospccted the
neigh5orhood, picking up here anC
there surface specimens which attract
ed his notice. These he pounded in {
small family spice mortar and extract
ed some twenty dollars worth Of th'
precious metal.
When we consider how very -sloN
and tedious the operation, and how
small quantity of hard quartz coul'
be 50 pulverzed, it must have beer
rich indeed to give such a result
There is no business OH earth more un
certain and deceptive than gold mining
nor one more infes ted with sharks an,
spectators, with ways that are darl
and tricks that are vain,' and oul
good Granville people should keep thei
eyes open-Ralcigh Press Visitor.

THERE is scarcely a city in the
United States but has had during the
past year the experience of being sold
out by its local government to some
great corporation for the personal be-
hoof and benefit of the council. 1t
seems to have come to pass in the
cities that men elected to the council
figure on the amount they can realize
from the sale of franchises as part of
their compensation for the expense
and trouble of making the run. It is a
safe rule to adopt, and one to which
there will be very few real exceptions
that when a council grants a franchise
without a substantial equi valent paid
into the city that there has been a
very substantial something paid into
the council.

SOME of our exchanges have grown
quite delirious over the murder of
Ruiz, the Spanish peace emmissary
who ignored the Cuban orders, forced
his way into the rebel camp and was
shot for his pains. We can not share
the views of those who call it murder.
Ruiz was formally notified that he
would not be permitted to enter the.
lines on any such mission, and he took.
his own chances. We are far enough
from the scene of action to take an un-
prejudiced view Of the matter, and We
can not overlook the fact that even if
Ruiz had been murdered in cold blood
it would not have repaid One-thou-
sandth part of the cruelty and oppres-.
sion of the Spaniards, or offset one
thousandth part of the deliberate as
sassinati0n of Cuban patriots by Span
ISL IS !! cutthroats. Ruiz was. at least, a
combatant in arms, W lille the majority
OF the deaths com passed by Spanish
soldiers were those Of sick soldiers in
hospitals, women in their homes and
babes in arms. Ruiz may have been a
good man, but he was, like good
many other good men have been, in
bad company, and he got what he de-
served.

THE partition of China by the Eu-

THE partition of China by the En-
ropean powers is matter which af-
fects US as q nation only in a remote
sort of a way, but we can not refrain
from remarking that it is about as
high handed piece of robbery as was
ever permitted to go unrebuked by the
civilized nations of the earth. TO be
sure China is heather nation, and it
is possible that the powers may con-
tribute to her enlightenment, but all
the same she is a nation, and has a
right to remain as she is if she wants
to. It is not a spirit of pure Christian
endeavor that prompts Germany and
the other "Christian powers'' to par
eel China out among themselves. It
is just common thievishness, and moth
ing else. If the powers want to do IN
acceptable bit Of PROSECUTING to the
Christian faith they can win the APP
plause of the world by taking their
knives from the throat of China, which
is peaceable country, and putting
them at that of Turkey, which is an
inveterate robber as the powers,
themselves. ~. Y

GENEROUS CHARLEY HAUPT

.I.
w. B. Douglas, it is said, has \
nOunced to a number of his friends in
the Seventh district, that he viii be
candidate for the attorney generalship
next year. His announcement is not
taken seriously by the mainstayssbfthe
party inhis.ow nsection OF the State, Who
seem to besunanimopslY Of the opinion
that if the attorney general should
again be chosen from the Seventh dis
trict, it should go to G. G. Haupt. of
Fergus Falls. Haupt is not only one
of the best attorneys in the northern
part of the State, but has been one of
the hardest Republican workers in the
whole State for many years. Not only
Seventh district Republicans, butlead-
ers from the Sixth district as well,
have said lately that nothing would
give them more pleasure than to sup
port Mr.. Haupt for the attorneY-gen-
eralship. Mr.. Haupt has noh an
nounced himself as a candidate vet,
and he may not come out at ALL. He.
in common with other Republicans of
the Seventh district, is a friend of
Judge Brown, of Morris, and wants to
see the district present a solid front in
favor of Judge Browns elevation to
the supreme bench. Ii Mr.. Haupt.
should stand aside for Judge Brown, it
would not be the first time he has done
the same thing for a friend, but there
is as yet no Indication that he will be
called upon to do anything of the kind.
Very likely the candidates for. the
bench will be considered apart from
the contests for the other State Offices,
and the candidates for the judicial de-
partment will not interfere with Chose
for positions in the executive depart
ment at all, though, of course, the dis
strict receiving one of the places will
be charged up with the honor.-tSt.

THERE is no danper-Or hone.

- THERE is no danger-or hope, ac-
cording as the reader may regard it as
a blessing or calamity that the civil
service rules will be very drastically
rernodelled. In their present state
they are a complete defense for the
insincere congressman who has prom
lsed places that he could not deliver.
When n his constituent makes his de-
mand for the place the shrewd con-
gresham just falls back on the civil
service and declares that he can not
get the place because of the civil SER
vice obstacle. Then he goes into eau

tain the sham as a part Of the govern

NOTE the difference between the Re-
publican and the Populist press. The
best and most loyal Republican papers
of the nation are criticising President
McKinley's Cuban4policy with the ut
most freedom, and it does not even
attracts word of protest from those
who support it. In the same way they
criticise his course on the civil service,
pension and other public questions,
just as though he belonged to another
party. On the other hand whatever
w. J. Bryan does, says or thinks is
accepted by the Populist press as di-
vinely inspired, and to question it's
wisdom is to confess to treason and
sacrifice OF party loyalty. Which is
