A State Rich in Every Element of
Wealth.

One of the best pieces Of work now
under way for the future develop
mcnt of 4 Southern State is under
the auspices of the North Carolina
Geological Survey. Within the last
few months the survey has published
several bulletins. notably among
which are three treating of gold
mining, timber tree, and forestry.
and clay deposits and clay industry,
respectfully. in North Carolina. The
first paper is by Mr.. II. b. C.. Mite
and Mr.. ii. A. j. Wilkcns in which
no attempt has been made to de
scribe all the mines or even to
present detailed descriptions of all
the more important mining regions
found in North Ccrolina and ad acent
States, but such mining and metal
lur9lcal methods practiced in North
Carolina and other States are des-
cribed as it is believed will be found
useful in the study Of the best
methods for the development Of the
North Carolina gold fields. The
point is made that one of the existing
needs of the North Carolina gold
field is the establishment at central
points i'll this region of practical
plants that will successfully treat
the low-gradc sulphurate ores; plants
that will do custom work at reason
able prices and where individual
miners can ship their ore and pay
for same according to its value, as is
the case in the great mining regions
of Che West. The work on clay
deposits and the clay industry is
preliminary report by Mr.. Heinrich
Rlcs. The investigation was under
taken to determine the extent,
qualities and applicability of the
clays occurring within the State,
and whether those deposits now
being utilized could be used for
making other or better products than
those that are now being manufac-
turcd from them. The forestry bull
lctin is by Clifford Pinchot and W.
W. Ashc. This is intended to pre-
sent a succinct statement Of certain
salient characteristics of the more
important trees Of North Carolina.
than which the forest flora of no
other State is more varied. To this
is added short account of the
various forest regions of the State
An attractive and valuable feature
of these bulletins is the half-tone
engravings of maps of machinery
and of specimen woods. These are
very profuse and are 4 great adj
dition to the text. The publications
are invaluable to persons contem-
plating investment in the industries
represented in North Corolina aud

HIGH PRAISE,
European Estimate of the American
Soldier.
Charlotte Observer.)

charlotte Observer.)
| While there was nothing startling
| in the way Of news sent out by the
Associated Press to yesterday morn
ing'S papers, it made up for the
| deficit in the interview ii published
with Major De Grandprey, a military
expert Of France, whose discrimi-
| soldier is remarkable, and such as
must call forth the pardonable pride
of the American citizen in the Amerl-
can soldier.
The amazing victory at Manila, fol-
lowed by the similar one Of Santiago,
in which the American sailor smother
ed and annihilated his opponent,
brought great fame to our navy.
The newspapers were full Of wonder
al his accurate mark smanshi p and his
fine spirit. The naval experts Of
Europe were astOunded at the sue
cess Of the American seaman.
Since the army has had its baptism
Of fire in front OF Santiago, the Amer
lean soldier has had his inning. He
was no less closely watched than his
brother in the navy. He comes out
Of the scrutiny un,cathed, the peer
Of the United States marine. and the
superior, in some respects, of the
European soldier. The sOulless mill
tarism Of the transatlantic CONT
nent is amazed at the individuality
and impetuosity of the American
soldier in battle. Major De Grand
prey's study brings this out force
fully. His contrast Of the American
with the European shows that the
former has less Of that lifeless de-
pendcnce on his officer than the lat
ter. The European soldier is a frac
tlonal part OF a vast machine. He
moves en- masse, in human blocks.
The American, while he does not
exactly take the bit into his own
teeth, uses his own Judgment and ex-
hlhits his own individuality, although
at the same time acting in concert
with his company, his regiment, his
brigade, his division, his corps.
This tends to Il morale, an esprit de
corps, such as the European armies
wv h'' 81 1lSHiN )o9oeoS. Inc lHuldn
fighting Of the American regulars
may have something to do with this
characteristic Of our troops, and vet
the same tendency is as noticeable in
the volunteer as in the regular. All
fought with equal bravery in the
stormlng Of the Santiago trenches.
1t is amazing that the American
soldier, unframed by the severe dis
clpline Of long years of mlitarism,
should win such encomiums of praise
from the shrewd observer of one Of
the great European armies. 1t is in
itself an argument against an i'm
mense standing army. and it is to be
hoped that the United States will not
be frightened into initiating Europe,
in this respect, after this present
war is over. Our men will fight bet
ter if the vigor, the energy, the soul
in them is not drilled and disciplined
out Of them in a vast army in time of
peace.

BALANCE SHEET OF WAR.
Victory Has Been the Reward of the
Best Equipped.
{ London NeWS.)

With the fall Of Santiago the third
month OF the Spanish-American war
is brought to a close. Victory has
been the reward Of the best equipped
battalions, if not always the heaviest.
Both Americans and Spaniards have
shown that they can ii ght with con-
spicuous courage. Mere animal
bravery, however. has been hopeless
~ beaten when it had to contend
with courage reinforced by a thor
ough knowledge of the weapons
which modern science has placed in
the hands Of governments. The will
lingnesS Of the Spanish soldier to die
in the last ditch, and of the Spanish
sailor to 90 down with his ship, has
not prevented Spain being beaten at
every point. Nor has it enabled her
to intiict any considerable damage
upon her enemy. This can be proved
by placing side by side the losses
suffered by the combatants in the
first three months of the war:
SPANISH LOSS.
u war ships.
u merchant vessels.
1,20O sailors killed.
1900 sailors prisoners.
Santiago and neighborhood.
Fourth Army Corps $4,000 to 49,
600 men,
Ladrone Islands.
AMERICAN LOSS.
merchant vessel.
Under 30 sailors killed and wound
ed.
800 soldiers killed.
Loo soldiers wounded.
Such comparisons as these must
speedily convince even the most san
gulne of Spanish ministers that
further fighting will only result in
fresh disaster for Spain. without in
tieting serious injury upon the United
States.

The American Advance at Manila Was

New York, Aug. lo--A special to the
Evening Journal from Manila says that
the official report gives the number OF
Americans killed as II and wo 1nded 25,
and score missing. The capture of
Malate cost II lives alone.
After the Spanish retreated they kept
up nasty guerilla fight, secreting them
selves in gardens. among the hedges
and bushes and on bousetops from
whence they kept up constant fire up
on the advancing American troops. The
Colorado volunteers were assigned the
duty of seeking out and dislcdgng these
troops, SO as to protect the advance of
the others. 1t was because of this order
that the Coloradoans los. the honor of
being the first reg ment in Manila.
The flag raising at Malate over the
fort was the most brilliant incident of
the day.
When Gen Greene gave the order 10
advance, the scene was one of the wild
est tumult. With the regimental flags
to the fore, and with bands playing in
spirlng strains. the brigade advanced,
the men all cheering and yelling madly
The Coloradoans advanced on the run
When they reached the river Clngalon,
they waded into the water waist deep,
holding their rifles and cartridge belts
above their heads. With wild cheers
they clm ed up the banks and charged
upon the trenches. Rushing up the EN-.
bankments they drove the Spanish back
and took poss .ssion. In their hurried
retreat, many of the Spaniards threw
away their guns and ammunition, the
better to effect their escape.
Private Phoenix of the Colorados
climbed upon the ramparts of the fort.
With calmness and del,beration he pull
ed down the Spanish colors, united the
flag and substituted. The stars and stripes.
Just as he accomplished this feat, bullet
laid him low. Private Holmes ran quick
ly to the spot and disengaging the colors
from the dying soldiers grasp ran ,hem
to the top of the staff. The death of
Phoenix was witnessed by over half of
the regiment. The remain were buried
where they fell, below the spot where
the first American flag was raised at
Malate.
The death was Immediately avenged.
The Colorado regiment advanced into
the town and literally cleaned the Span.
iards out, driving them pell NELL toward
