tests of the different ores found for the
past ten days, has returned to New
Yorks. After making thorough ex-
animation of the Gild Hill copper
Company's mines and their ores ne
saws that there are not only large
biodes of very fine copper ore there.
but that. from what he has seen Gold
Hill is still to be reckoned as gold
mine. He made several tests Wnlie
there for gold in the ores found IN
different places in the mine, and III
each instance was rewarded by being
able to extract some of that mucn-
sought-after article. and there can be
no doubt that there is still much gold
in this famous old mine, and that there
are also large bodies of very fine
grade of copper ore already opened UP
there.
Prof. Kendall goes back ready to re-
port not only a mine in which there
are immense ore values. but one that
is already equipped with the finest
machinery for expediting the work of
getting out the ores that can be bought
and first-class buildings for it's plants.
Gold Hills prospects are bright
and in few weeks the running of air
drills and other machinery and the
music of the miners hammer on his
steel, as the work is being pushed, will
surely be heard again.

Evidences of Industrial
Activity of Spring

Mr.. E. A. Womble, of Spring Hope,
is here to spend the holidays.
He says Spring Hope is live town
and does an immense business for
it's size, that the merchants are an
hustling folks, and are pushing the
town forward along all lines.
In reply to what's doing there he
The latest industrial enterprise is
the Worth Sherwood Shuttle Block
factory, which will begin work about
the first of January. Mr.. Worth, for
merly of Raleigh, and the manager
of the enterprise, has been there for
quite a while and has 9yready bought
large quantities of dogwood and per-
simmon for his factory.
Another enterprise that is expected
to matCria.liZe soon is furniture
factory. Leading business men are
interested in the project. The town
is admirably located for a factory
of this kind, owing to the fact that
there is plenty of the right kind of
timber in the immediate vicinity.
Mr.. ]. Baxter Goode, who operates
a saw mill near the town, has just
made some extensive additions and
Improvements to his mill. There
are several saw mills here and great
quantities of lumber are turned out.
The town is now a large shipping
point for lumber.
The handsome two story brick
Finch building is now almost COM
pleted. There are three handsome
stores to the ground floor. the corner
of which is being fitted up by Mr..
James Wheeless for a drug store and
will be open for business the first
part of January. The brick stores
being erected by Mr.. J. J. Spivey and
Mr.. r. w. Upchurch are also nearing
completion.
The Farmers and Merchants. the
new bank, which opened it's doors a
little less than >wo months ago, is
meeting with splendid success, due
to the popularity and qualifications
of it's president, Mr.. w. II. Griffin,
it's board of directors and cashier, G..
Fenton Crocker, all of whom enjoy
the confidence and esteem of the town
and surrounding country.
The Virginia Carolina Lumber Com
pany is still pushing its standard
guage log road westward. which feeds
their large saw mill. Mesars. Bar
rette and Majette, the owners of the
company, are doing much to advance
the industrial progress of the town.
Mayor Eeure, the newly elected
mayor, is making most efficient of
ficer. He is waging a determined
fight against blind tigers" and he IL
about to clear the town of them.
A sunday train is badly needed and
an effort will be made to have the
Coast Line to put on one. 1t would
help the mail service and otherwise
add to the advantage of the town.
Mr.. Womble is very much pleased
with his new home and the people of
Spring Hope.
