Burke County's Gold Mines.
Written for The News.

Written for The News.
It has often been said that if you do
not blow your own horn nobody will
blow it for you, but it seems that the
people of Burke county have never
thought it best to act upon that prin-
ciple and are disposed to take every
thing for granted. If they are in po-
session of untold and undeveloped re-
sources, just watch, wait and be still
and all things will be made manifest,
through the regular order of things.
If the untold millions of gold that is
living dormant in the hills, streams, on
the surface, and under the ground in
Burke county was in many states in
this union, the balance of the world
would know it in thirty days and no
time would be lost in developing the
same and the great gold fever in Cali
fornia a few years ago would fade into
insigni ficance compared to the rush to
Burke county by men seeking after this
precious metal.
Now in this short article I do not
propose to write a ''cOCk acd bull''
story, to create undue excitement, but
| to state facts as given to me by some of
the best citizens in the county. The
mines that / now mention have in most
instances been worked by the most
crude and simple appliances, such as
shovel, pick, hand rocker, or tom,
with small pan to gather the gold,
and with all these disadvantages, the
| Pax Hill mine, the SCOTS Hill mine,
the Baker mine, Little John mine, have
yielded to their owners and tenants
thousands of dollars worth of gold.
The Branch mine, the Puett mine, the
1 n
many others we cannot now recall have
all been tested and worked and every
one of them are pregnant with gold and
large quantities of the precious metal
have been taken out, in some instances
chunks weighing one hundred penny
weights. It is hardly necessary to
mention the old Brindletown mine of
Burke county, as it has been worked
for the past fifty years with the most
satisfactory results, and to-day there
are host of men in that section max
ing good living panning over the dirt
that has been worked time and again.
The writer has no interest in these
mines, near or remote, only as citizen
of Burke County wishing to see our vast
undeveloped resorces brought to light
And from this standpoint we do mo-
hesitate to say that there is Crane
opening for men seeking profitable in
yestments and who have experience ir
the mining business. A majority O
the men who own these rich mines
have not got the money, the experience
nor the disposition to operate them
and are willing to grant the privilege
to men who have all these qualifica
tions, upon reasonable terms.
Some capitalists from a distance
have discovered this great bonanza il
Burke county, and through Mr.. Walter
Brem, of Charlotte, have bought tn,
mineral interest in these gold region
with view to working them; bu
there is room for hundreds of others
and we are satisfied when work Begin
the yield will be SO great that thou
> sands of dollars will be invested il
unearthing this hidden treasure.

kEELY.s DECEPTION.
An Exsmin nstion of HIS Laboratory Re
v~Ais Use of Compressed Air.

An examination OF HIS Laboratory He
v~ais Use of Compressed Air.
Philadelphia, Pa. ian. 2O.-The
Press to-day publishes an article GOV
eriug. with illustrations. more than one
page giving the details OF an investiga-
tion made by that paper of the dis-
mantled workshop of the late John w.
Keely. which investigation, the Press
contends. clearly proves the mysterious
Keely motor to have been a delusion
and deception and that Its alleged
mysterious forces were the result OF
trickery.
In the Investigation, which has been
going on for more than n week, the
flooring of the workshop was taken
up and a brick partition wall was re-
moved.
Clarence b. Moore. son Of Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore. Keely's financial
hacker. was an interested spectator.
The statements In the article. which
are substantiated by signed state
ments of the aforementioned scient-
lists, are TO the effect that tubing was
found concealed In the brick work and
under the floor OF the laboratory.
This. II is claimed. laid bare the pos
sibilities OF deception. as the tubing is
of the kind calculated to stand high
pressure and could have been used in
connection with the great steel sphere
found last week In the laboratory.
which the experts intimate was used
as reservoir for compressed air or
compressed gases, and the tubing
could thus form an agency for the
forces that moved the motor In the ex-
hibition room.
The contention OF Mr.. Keely and his
friends for many years has been that
no tubing OF any kind was needed TO
work this machine. The views of Mr..
Herring and. DIR. Goodspeed are that
the presence of the tubing and sphere
indicates the use Of normal forces and
possible deception on the part Of Keely.
In this view Clarence Moore concurs.
and Professor Wilmer feels that the
possibility OF trickery confirms the d.
agnosis that most psychologists make
as to the delusiye character OF the
Keely mystery.

force the doors Of the Supreme Cour
Mt Apin. Samoa. in which the German
consul had established himself aud &c
push him Into the street.
All parties at Apia. the special dis
patch continues. unite In condemning
the German consul for the fighting
which has taken place between the r.
val kings. II Is pointed out that In
violation OF all agreements, the consul
accompanied Mataafa's force when
the claimant invaded the town and en-
couraGed the opposition to Malietoa
Tanus.
When the British and American con
suls were informed as to the situation
they adjourned the court and locked
the building. The German consul then
demanded the keys and they were re
fused him. He then broke open the
doors, removed the locks and replaced
tnem with others.
He afterward brought the German
municipal president Into the chamber
and the latter went upon the balcony
and shouted TO the British and Amert-
can marines assembled on the square:
II am the Supreme Court. am
the chief justice"
The crowd replied with jeers and the
British consul demanded the keys of
the building. which were refused.
A Scotchman named Mackie thereup-
on climbed on top of the building and
hoisted the Samoan nag, while the
British and American consuls and a
number of marines invaded the build
ing. forced the doors open and pushed
the German consul into the street.
Then the two consuls formally and
legally. according TO the special dis
patch. opened the court and issued a
warning against any further interfer-
ence with its Jurisdiction. threatening
to arrest and impr!son anyone attempt
ing to do so.
Matters. the dispatch concludes. are

mains in his consulate.

believe that the trip which Prince
Henry of Germany is taking is far be-
yond the operating sphere OF naval
commander. The object, says the con-
sui. Is the extension OF German com
merce into the districts OF the
Amur and Usuri rivers. The consul
tells what an extensive effort has been
made by the Germans. through trading
and shipping companies operating
from Hamburg. to establish active
agencies all over the section OF Siberia
opened up by the new railroads. and
In this they have already displaced In
large measure the merchants OF France
and Belgium. Concluding. the consul
says that It is possible for the United
States manufacturer. II the right KIND
of an effort is made, to get good deal

CUBAN PRISONERS RELEASED.
Macy Of Them H.v. Besa conna.d Un.
Justly.

10stty.
Havana, Jan 19.-The American
board of pardons yesterday recon-
mended the release from Jail Of seven
men who had been confined without
trial since 1897 for the alleged robbery
from a safe Of funds belonging to the
navy paymaster for San Juan de Porto
Rico.
The prisoners declare. and informa-
tion from San Juan tends to sustain
them, that the alleged robbery was a
plot upon the part Of Spanish officials
to cover up their deiinquencies and to
obtain scnpegoats for the Spanish
paymnster at San Juan, who, 1t Is fur
ther asserted, was probably a party
to the dishonesty In appropriating the
funds. Following the disappearance
Of the money at San Juan, some 200
suspects were arrested, and they were
all released except seven, who were
tortured for the purpose Of obtaining
. confession, and were shipped to Ha-
vana In March. 1907. They now show
the effects Of the torture upon them.
The board Of pardons has examined
many other prisoners and has recon-
mended TO General Brooke the release
Of sixty-seven who are In connne-
ment.
The idea prevails among prisoners
that there WIN be general delivery at
the hands Of the Americans, which,
the prisoners claim. practically has
been done In the interior towns By the
Cuban generals. The prisoners seem
to have NO idea Of Justice. The board
u making proper recommendations
and murtlerers are not recommended
for release.

According to Washington corre-
spondents 1t will be the policy of the
United States government to take care
of all of the soldiers in the Cuban
army. II they want wages they will
be given employment upon the public
works. II they prefer to remain In
the army they will be organizrd into
rural police, the intention being &c
keep them together and prevent them
from scattering idly like tramps
throughout the country. Wherever
they are willing to accept outside en-
ployment they will be encouraged tc
do so. and 1t Is believed the revival oi
industry will cause an Increase in the
price OF labor that will tempt mary OF
them to return to the farms and fac
tories. In each OF the provinces. how
ever, there Will be an organization oi
rural police similar to that In Mexico
to keep order in the country. suppress
outlawry and relieve the military gar
risons as much as possible. This Is
not entirely necessary. but It is con-
