minerals, and Is in a condition that Is
called sweet, and is amenable to treat
ment by any process, even by amalga-
nation but probably the cyanide pro-
cess will then bs found the most eco
nomicaI and satisfactory. This process
need not and should not be expenhive
as no chemicals are used in the roastings
only a little charcoal mixed with the
pulp shortens the time of roasting and
gives better result. This is the only
way that know Of to obtain what is in
our ore, and make a dead sure thing of
1t, and we know by many experimental
trials it will do that, and do 1t every
time. 1t is probable that the concen-
trated and eyaporated base metals from
the water may in many cases prove the
most valuable product. Tungstic acid
is valuable and largely in demand as an
alloy in steel. Bismuth is worth 81 so a
pound, copper 10 cents, tin 25 cents, lead
4 cents pound, and platinum $23 90 an
ounce. Don't think that platinum is
rare metal in this camp, it is not, but on
the contrary it is as common and plenti-
full as gold. In this process the plati.
mum will always be found in the water
with the base metals, none of it remains
with the pulp in the retort, and as a
matter Of fact we think it is the first
thing alloyed as it always is with iridium,
palladium and osmium which passes out
through the pipe. Should there be some
free gold in the pulp as il comes from
the retort roast (there was none in ours)
it may be found necessary to pass it over
Willy concentrator before subjecting
the same to the cyanide solution. The
extra cost of roasting when fitted up on
a commercial scale should not be over 80
cents per ton, 30 that the cost of treat
ment by this process should not cost
over $500 per ton.
We will say in conclusion that we have
obtained $500 in gold per ton from ore
that the smelters return certificate read,
"no gold" mo metal" nothing" Ours
was very refractory ore we will admit,
perhaps more so than any other ore in
the district, but in the process here des
cribed the values were obtained with
out trouble.

trainmen on the Missouri Pacific, who
struck for an increase of pay. The
strikers won the day and wages on the
passenger trains were raised 10 per cent,
and on freight trains IL per cent. This
applies to all of the Gould roads. and
the other roads are falling into line By
raise in the wages Of train men all

There is an uneasy feeling among the
people of the United States, not alone
among government officials but among
the masses generally. This feeling is
engendered by the presence Of a foreign
feet blockading the ports of republic
on this continent. While this may not
be construed as an infraction Of the Mon
roe Doctrine yet it is near enough to
make it look as If the allied powers OF
England, Germany and Italy had con-
spired to see just how much Uncle Sam
would stand without showing his teeth.
AS long as the powers do not attempt to
acquire land on this continent it cannot
in strict sense be said that they have
violated the Monroe Doctrine. But it
looks as If this is what the allied powers
would like to do and would do if they
dared. OF course Venezuela is deeply
in debt to these nations and has not the
money to pay. They knew thisand evil
IDENTIFY intended to receive their pay in
land. This Venezuela might be willing
to concede were it not Uncle Sam has
spoken, and said this is one thing you
cannot do. The blockade is very ex-
pensive to the powers and very damag-
ing to Venezuela, who to lift the block
ade has offered to pay by allowing the
powers certain per cent of her custom
receipts. This the powers seem 10th to
accept, yet while they cannot frame a
reasonable excuse why they should not
be satisfied with settlement upon this
basis, yet they seek In every way to
evade such settlement, and they try in
every way to throw obstacles in the way
Of it. 1t is evidently not what they
want, although they may finally conclude
to accept it as they cannot quite screw
their courage 10 the sticking point to
sieze upon the land. The situation is a
menace to our peace as nation, and the
feeling is that we need more powerful
navy, and better organized army. For
we know not what hour the powers may
commit the overt act. and our nation be
compelled to defend the Monroe Doc
trine bv force Of arms. This in conflict
with three of the strongest nations Of
Europe would mean war such as the
United States has never seen. This is
about the way we sum up the situation.

The States Finances.
serVer

The State Treasurer's report was
put in circulation today. It shows
that the deficit for the years 19O11O2
on the appropriations was $287 ,186,
but the amount owed by institutions
is $149, 632, and there is also the
100000 borrowed early in 1902 from
a New York bank, making a total
of $349,6 32. From this must be de-
Quoted the balance on hand, $30,213,
making the net debt $319,419. It is
pretty certain hat bonds will have
to be issued. This can be done. The
State Treasurer estimates the ex-
penses for the year 100000 at
$2,899,6OO; this including, SO far as
public institutions are concerned,
only maintenance. During the past
year $4,000 of old State bonds we're
sent in for exchange and for these
$1,000 Of new ones we're issued. The
debt is now 4 per cent $3,399,150,
4 per cent penitentiary bonds $110,-
600, 4 per cent penitentiary farm
bonds 100000, total $3,569,15O; 6 per
cent bonds 50, 72O,OOO. The old bonds
not yet presented will require of 4
per cent bonds, if all are presented,
$216,22O, and 6 per cent bonds
amounting to $4,000 are yet unre-
deemed, making the total debt, in
.terest and new interest bearing, &c.

the National Park Bank Of New
York will be due March 1st.-Ra-

Telephones in Edgecombe County.

Recently one or more of the State
papers suggested that Union County
was better supplied with telephones
than any other county. If Edge
combe is not the best, the Southerner
is much mistaken.
Only one township out of the four
teen is without a telephone-No. IA.
Only one village throughout the
county, Sharpsburg, is without one.
In whatever section of the county
one goes he is never more than three
or four miles from a telephone. Not
only is every village and hamlet so
provided, but in the county a score
or more farms have telephones con-
nected with the main system.
There are exchanges, exclusive of
this place and Rocky Mount, at Bat
tleboro, Whitakers, DR.. Speight's,
Lancasters and Crisp. Edgecombe
is not behind in many things. Just

Next week Prof. T. Gilbert Pear
son, of Greensboro, the Secretary of
the Audubon Society, will leave for
the North Carolina coast, to look
after the protection of birds during
the building season next spring and
summer. That is the time when the
bird murderers, the most ruthless of
slayers, shoot the terms and guIls and
other coast birds, to sell their skins
to New York feather dealers. The
Audubon Society will this year have
game wardens on the various islands
and other breeding places, and break
up this sort of thing. IF the Legis-
lature will only make some needed
changes in the law regarding protec-
ton, and if (most important of alb
the local officers will enforce the law,
the best results will follow. Millions
of birds have been slain on the coast,
the old ones shot mainly for the
feathers, while their young starved to
death. 1t is a very pitiful thing.
And there were North Carolinians
among those murderers. The writer
knows one who feels computations
of conscience for what he has done.
Charlotte Observer: A minister
who was rising to the highest rank in
his church was the late Rev. Dr..
D. @. Rankin, editor of the Mis-
sionary, a magazine of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, who died in
Seoul, Corea, while travelling in the
East. He was a native of Guilford
County, and it is said that his m
billions we're aroused and his life
moulded, in a large degree, by Dr..
Calvin II. Wiley, the father of the
modern public-school system in
North Carolina. That great educa-
tor was not only working in behalf
of the school system in general, but
he had an eye ever alert to find schol-
ars in embryo. Another man who
discovered" a boy destined to make
a name for himself in this State is
Rev. r. L. Patton, now of High
Point, formerly Of Morganton, and
the lad is Artist Randall, in the front
rank of portrait painters, and who
walked all the way from the western
part of the State to Chapel Hill,
where he worked his way through to
graduation.
