1t would seem that DR.. Samuel Galley
is having the laugh on his Mount Holly
friends who thought he was chasing wild
cat schemes in his efforts to locate gold.
1t has been learned that the Galley De Vol
Mining Company has about completed the
erection of ten stamp mill for crushing
ore on their tract of land which is situate
seven miles from Marion, in Mcdowell
county, North Carolina, and men will
soon be put to work blasting out rock for
the crusher which will handle a large
quantity daily. 1t is said that the quartz
will assay over $12 to the ton and if this
is the case, with the cheap labor that can
be secured there, the promoters ought to
rock received in Mount Holly last week
are said to be rich with the precious
metal There is no doubt but that the
doctor is now working in the right direc-
ton, for the region where the company is
located is described by Chambers Ency
clopedia as being rich in gold, precious
stones and mica. The company is being
backed by Mount Holly capitalists, who
will be admitted to the ground floor as
soon as the glistening nuggets materialize.
Charles Root, who has been earning $25
a week with the Howard Hub Company,
on King street, attempted to move to
Brooklyn, on Tuesday, without paying
his debts about town. and as a result some
of his creditors, with claims amounting to
$29, levied upon his goods, which had
been placed in a car at the freight station
ready for shipment. Root, after refusing
to settle the claims, skipped out and left
his wife to face the music. Claiming that
the goods belonged to her and her sister,
suit to ascertain this fact was tried
before Justice Clevenger and jury on
Friday. Samuel A. Atkinson represented
the claimants, and George M. Hillman
protected the interests of Mrs. Root, but
the jury decided that she did not have
any. They allowed the claim of Mrs.
Albright The balance of the goods will
be sold to satisfy the creditors, more of
whom have since entered up their claims.
Mr.. Hillman insists that as the parties did
not leave town they still retain their resi-
dence, and in this event the wife is en-
titled to an exemption of 5000, and he pro-
poses to bring suit against Constable
Claypoole, because of his refusal to set
apart the amount of the exemption. In
case this is done it will take all the goods,
which are only appraised at $190.90. The
whole case now resolves itself into the
question of citizenship. At any rate the
constable will not sell the property unless
protected by an indemnifying bond fur
nished by the creditors. No sale can take
place inside of three months, and in
short time hearing will be had to ascer-
tain the business of the various claims

Justice Krayer, on Sunday evening, and
