two large ore crushers, and the grinding
is accomplished by forty modern type
stamps, dropping in solution OF cyanide.
There is room in the building for forty
more stamps, and ten more will be added
after the beginning of the year The
company's principal ore supply is found in
the Realization mine, which Is developed
by shaft 200 feet deep, from which sew
eral hundred feet Of drifts have been driv-

feet back of the new plant. into the top

fusion. An occasional specimen was found
where the silver could be whitfield with a
knife like solid piece of lead. In this
respect the ore resembled some of the

mine at Carbonate, in the early days. The
Iron Hill ore took the first prize at the
Chicago worlds fair in 1893 for the richest
silver ore. The Trent company's claims
lie only short distance from the Iron
Hill. The ore is easily smelted and the
company will extend its workings in an
endeavor to open the ore sufficiently to
make it possible to begin shipments be-
fore the winter is over.

Silver creek, a mile from Rockford. A
steam hosting plant has been purchased
Of the Harvey Peak Tin Mining company

months ago and encountered a strong vein

point has been reached, a crosscut will be
driven to the vein, which, on account Of
its dip, is expected to leave the shaft in
a short distance. The company intends
to put the shaft down to 500 feet before

Hon. fiber H.. Patterson. of Max

COnstituents-He Will Open His
Canvass i'm Hnrnett and VIII Sneak
In Wilmington Before the Cam
pr ~ Closes,

Among the gentlemen who came to
Wilmington from Lumberton to accom-
pany the remains of the lamented Mr..
Joseph II. McRee on Tuesday, was the
Hon. Gilbert B.. Patterson, of Maxton,
the democratic nominee for congress in
this district, the Sixth.
Mr.. Patterson laid aside his profess
sional business and political appoint
ments to come to our city with the
remains of Mr.. McRee, and it was an
act of friendship and a tribute of re-
spect to the memory of a friend, which
relatives and resident friends of Mr..
McRee appreciate. Our community
also gratefully appreciates the honor
paid to the memory of the deceased by
Sheriff George B. Mcleod, Stephen Nc
Intyre, Esq, a prominent member of
the Lumberton bar, n Mr.. A. Z.
White, a well known business man of
that place, who came with Mr.. Patter-
son.
Mr.. Patterson returned home yeste1-
day afternoon. 1t was his first visit to
our city since he was made the standard
bearer of III congressional district,
and though he came quietly upon a sad
mission, his Wilmington constituents
were pleased to meet him. He opens
his canvaSs in Harnett county in the
upper part of the district but we pre-
sumo New Hanover will have the pleas
uree of hearing a speech from him be-
fore the campaign closes. While New
Hanover will be solid for him at the
polls on the 4th day of November, our
people will consider it an honor for the
distinguished nominee of the party to
lift up his voice in our midst for the
cause of democracy.
In Mr.. Patterson the democrats of the
Sixth district have a nominee worthy
of their hearty and enthusiastic support
and he will be triumphantly elected by
our people. He is q lawyer Of fine abil-
ity, an educated, polished gentleman,
a man of honor and Improbable integ-
rity, and a sturdy, true son Of North
Carolina. He will reflect honor on the
district at Washington and he has the
assurance that New Hanover will roll
up a big majority with her sister coun-
ties to send him there as the represen-
tative Of the Sixth.
