ago from Mr.. Louis Ford in Arkansas,
to his father, Mr.. E. M. Ford. Louis
left Gastonia last February and is now
managing a farm for Mr.. Augustus
Matthews, an uncle of DR.. E. F. Glenn,
who went to Arkansas from York coun-
ty just after the war. Louis writes
that he Is having some experience
breaking in new horses and that a
pair Of them ran away and tore up a
new buggy. In the Pope county Sec
ton he says there's good money in
hogs, which may be bought now at a
dollar or two a head, turned into the
range until fall at no expense at all,
and then sold for $6 or So a head. ..:.

MI 81
Of Saturday afternoon was accompan-
led by shower of hail which, how
ever, seemed not to have done any
damage hereabouts. Esquire w. D.
Glenn Of Crowder's Creek, who was In
town yesterday, says there was very
little rain in his neighborhood.. Mr..
John c.. Moore, a brother of Mr.. j.
Walter Moore Of Begonia, died sud-
denly in Rome, Ca, on Friday, May
the 9Th. He was enjoying his usual
health when ne arose in the morning,
and the end came without warning.
The deceased was sixty-three years of
age and was born and reared in the
Begonia neighborhood, where many
close friends survive to mourn his un-
timely death. Mr. Moore was broth
er-in-law Of our townsman, DR.. E. F.
Glenn. and of Esquire w. D. Glenn OF
Crowder's Creek, whose sister he mar
ried several years before he went to
Georgia. She died about three years
ago. On the John E. Jones place,
three miles from Bessemer City. they
are raising tin ore to beat the band.
Mr.. Thomas S. Royster, the R. F. D.
carrier, brought US the other day some
specimens Of the ore called cassiterite.
It is dark like tarnished lead and is
extremely heavy. On the Jones prop
erty Is a vein two and half feet wide,
through which one or two shafts have
been sunk seventy feet. Near the top
the ore yields about 33 1-3 per cent of
tin, and the deeper the ore the higher
the per cent of tin. The samples left
on our desk are about sc 2-3 per cent
pure. Mr. Royster says he would not
be surprised to find almost pure tin
before the bottom Is reached. A min
ing force is industriously engaged In
raising the ore. An~engine and boiler
and hoisting machine are at work, and
two jig tanks 10x10 and 8 feet deep
are used to wash the ore. After the
ore is thoroughly dried 1t Is packed
in bags of heavy triple-thick ducking.
If the ore is damp 1t "eats" up the
sacking. The promise Of profitable re-
suits is said to be very good, and 1t
gratifies us to chronicle that CASTOR
seems to have a good share Of what
ever may come Of this discovery Of tin
ore.
