Gastonia Gazette, March 90: Fol
years and years past there has beer
talk of tin deposits near Kings Noun
tain. This talk appears at last to have
to something more thar
hopes spoken aloud. 1t has beer
demonstrated that tin is there-thert
in valuable deposits, and we believe i
must be there in paying quantities
else interested land-holders would no
be refusing 100000 offers for frac'
tional interests. This vein Of tin ore
is said to stretch a distance Of forty
miles from the western part of Castor
county to Gaffney City in South Car
olina. 1t is gratifying to know thai
CASTOR holds a generous share of these
rich deposits. About half of the car
load of ore sent to England last fal
was taken from the farm of Mr.. Johr
E. Jones three miles from Bessemel
City. . Mr.. Earl S. Pegram Of Char
lotte and Mr.. J. B. Pegram of York
vile were in the city yesterday. :. Mrs
