Peruna is an internal remedy-a

catarrh wherever located. Its cures last.
Peruna gives strength by stopping

the blood. By cleansing the mucous

cog .ER IN NORTH CAROLINA.
\ Vii .nC Interest Little Known. But
of Great Possibilities.

Durham. n. c., March IS. 19OS-But
lite is written in the papers concern
ins- the copper mining industry of North
Carolina. and few people are aware of
its magnitude and possibilities The
growing demand for this metal has
greatly increased the interest in its
mining. and the future will reveal that
North C1roIina is rich in this ore. Some
of the developments already made
would. if the location was in the west,
create a mining Juror equal TO the early
days of mining in California and the
territories.
There is a copper belt in Person coun-
". that extends over and into Halifax
county, Virginia. supposed to be about
twenty-five miles in length, possibly
longer. and some three miles in width.
The most active points are about eight
and ten miles. a little south of east from
RoxbOro. The country is covered prin-
cipally with pine timber and hardwood,
IS rather undulating and sparsely set
tied. I am told by expert miners that
this section abounds in this mineral
wealth that will compare favOrably with
many of the best districts in the west
and the future has much in store for
North Carolina along the border line
of Virginia Much, if not all of the
land in this territory has been bought.
or the mineral privilege leased, by those
who are interested in mining for copper.
II was the writer's privilege few
days ago to visit the mines of b. l..
Duke, in Person county, some elSht
miles east OF RoNboro. 1t would be 4
revelation TO those who have paid little
attention TO the subject, as little has
been said about il in our newspapers,
10 see the developments made and the
progress of copper mining in that Sec
tion in the past few years.
For Perhaps forty years or more min
ing for copper in that portion of Per-
son county. has been carried on in a
desuItory way. Lack of the proper
knowledge in mining methods: the long
hauIs Of the ore in wagons to railway
lines: and the neglect of publicity has
made it difficult TO establish the impor-
tance of the copper products of the
Person county belt. Now practical min
ing men have become interested and
results are being achieved that promise
TO place that belt among the most I'M
pOrtant copper producers.
The veins are of the tissue type and
many of them are prominent and
strong. Some have been prospected 10
a depth of from 10 TO $50 feet. The
vein-material, or vein filling, consists
of hard but friabIe quartz. altered slate,
epidote, calcite and massive copper ore.
Developments have demonstrated that
the ore is there in abundance, and ex-
periments and practical tests have
proven that it can be concentrated
TO a very high per cent. of recovery.
Mr.. Duke owns about 40 acres, and
has a mineral option on a great deal
more adjoining his property. He has

river is higher today than it has been
feet deep is rolling over the roadway
embankment at the county bridge
while vast street of the murky fluid
is spreading through the lowlands and
Submerging thousands of acres of cul
tiVated lands. There is no crossing
of vehicles at the county road bridge
and as consequence the farmers of
Brogden and Grantham townships are
not able to come to this city today
for supplies. Although there has been
no rains here for five days. the river
has been steadily rising all the time,
which is a result Of the up country
floods some days ago. The lumber and
shingle mills on the banks of the river
are submerged and much damage has
been done already with the water still
rising.

one IS feet; and 160 feet, the latter be-
ing the most actively worked. At this
shaft there is not a finer shaft house in
the belt. 1t has a high well-made gall
lows frame, and is equipped with boiler,
engine and up-to-date machinery:
steam drills and air compressor. This
shaft is timbered in modern style with
two compartments-one for hosting and
one as a manway, air pipe pumps, and,
In fact, everything is arranged and
done in modern miner manner. The
shaft is 160 feet deep, with one station
about 100 feet and another below that
so feet. Each station drifts out three
directions and a cross out has been
started to run in an easter1y direction
to cut adjacent parallel veins. The
veins run northeast and southwest
The work is being rapidly pushed. One
drift is now IS feet in length. Under
the management of Mr.. Thomas Mar
com, a practical and experienced miner
from Baker City, Oregon, Mr.. Dukes
mine has been brought up to a fine state
of production, and is destined to be one
of the richest mines in the belt.
On this same belt, about eight miles
north of the Duke veins, is the Person
Consolidated Copper and Gold Mines
Company. This mine is equipped
with a SO-horse power hosting engine
and cage; also a 50-ton concentrating
plant. 1 am informed that they are
now turning out three tons of ore a day,
averaging over fifty per cent. copper.
This does not include higher grade ore,
which is sent direct to a Smelterer. The
Rockefellers are interested in this mine.
Other important mines on this belt
are the Holloway mine and the famous
Yancey mine, all about eight miles dis
tant from the Duke mine, which form
an interesting and active copper mining
district in the Old North States. In
terested in these mines, other than the
Duke. are New York and Boston capi-
talists. and such copper kings as Sem
ator Clark. of Montana, and Thos. Law
son. of Boston.
The assay of ore in this North Caro-
lima belt. as described above, averag ages
from 50 to 40 per cent. per ton.
Future developments will most as
suredIy establish the fact that North
Carolina is destined to come TO the
front as a mining state-and especially
in the product OF copper. Her vast
wealth in this particular is little known
outside of those interested.

New Evidence Brought to Light that
Will be Brought Out in the In
quest.

Buffalo, n. Y, March 2S.-When the
Burdick inquest is re-opened on Mon
day morning by Judge Murphy, it is
probable that other witnesses besides
the New York hotel employees who say
they heard Arthur R. PennelI threaten
to kill some one, will be called upon to
testify. The new evidence brought to
light today, like most of the testimony
given during the inquest, has no direct
bearing on the BurGick murder. Pen
nell is the central figure in the episode
which has just Geen brought to the at
tentiOn Of the authorities and they re-
gard it as important as throwing light
upon the condition of Pennells mind
on the morning following the murder.
In the inerval between the time Pen
nell left the Iroquois Hotel barber shop
that day and the time he took a trolley
car for Niagara Falls, the authorities
learned today Pennel went to the
house of c. Z. WalDridge on Main
street and purchased z cheap bull dog
revolver. Three men saw Pennell in
the store that morning, saw him buy
the revolver and they say they noticed
extreme agitation in his manner. z.
w. Fox has charge of the arms depart
ment in Waidridge's and sold the
weapon to Pennell, with whom he was
we'll acquainted. The two clerks In
that department who saw Pennell and
noted the strange behavior We're w. S.
Edmunds and Louis Boehler.
'Pennell entered the store about noon
on the morning after the murder, said
Mr.. Edmunds today He walked hur-
riedly up to the east end of the store,
where the revolver case is located and
said to NIr. Fox, who was behind the
counter: Give me a cheap revolver"
Mr. PenneIl while waiting for the re-
volver 10 be wrapped up, paced UP and
down in highly nervous fashion, and
wrung his hands. When the revolver
was delivered to him, he took it and
hurried out of the store"
Pennells actions were so unusual
that after he departed Mr.. Fox said to
Boehler and Edmunds: Did you notice
how strangely Mr.. Pennen acted? He
seemed to be in a remarkable hurry"
1t was after buying the revolver that
Pennell went to the automobile factory
at the city line and from there he tele-
phoned to his wife that he was going
to Niagara Falls and requested her to
join him there. Mrs. Pennell got ready
at once and Joined her husband at
Niagara Falls late in the afternoon:
She took with her the Buffalo papers,
containing accounts of the Burdick
murder. It was stated in the papers
that the police were working on the
theory that the crime was committed
by woman. The woman theory in TACT
seems to be universally accepted. Pen-
nell remained at the Falls until eve
ming when he returned to his nome In
this city.
