MONAZITE IN GREENVILLE,
Traces of Gold Found in Every
Sample-New York Con-
Germ Secures Options.

Greenville. March S-Monazite in
large quantities has been discovered
in the creeks and branches around
Lennerman in Grove township, and
tons of the mineral are being taken
out and tested.
The analyses by reliable mineral
ogists show very large per cent.
pure monazite in the samples sent tor
analytical purposes. and a trace OF
gold is found in every sample.
\ New York concern has secured
r;ol7ts from most OF the land owners
in this neighborhood to mine the
mineral wherever traces are found,
and the land owners get SIS a ton
for the crude ore when taken from
the mine. This royalty is paid tor
the unnlined ore. and it will thus be
seen the land owner where any guam
itv is secured is extremely fortunate,
as he is put t. no expense whatever,
and the mineral is found only IN
branches and marshes where the land
is unfit for cultivation.
Among the land owners where the
mineral is found are P. y. HUT, w.
NJ. Lcnnerman. T. N. Griffin, inc.
Riddle and Jas. NJ. Alexander. On
Mr.. :Alcxander's plantation more
than 50 tons OF crude ore has been
dug, and he has an Eldorado if the
ore continues to be found.
The land owners in the locality are
very enthusiastic over their good luck
and there is no doubt that their for
tunes are already made.
Monazite is worth in refined state
about 81 900 ton, and is largely used
in the manufacture of arc lights in
combination with carbon for wicks.
The branches Of Reedy Fork creek
are all rich in the mineral, and it has
been discovered in branches OF Rocky
creek in the Standing Spring neigh
borhood.

practically the center. The fire was
confined to the church.
Defective electric wiring is supposed

estimated by Fire Chief Croker at at
least a quarter of a million dollars.
Only a mere shell of stone wall was
left standing and many valuable paint

Terms.

Mr.. j. Milton Banks, of Catawba
Springs, Swift Creek township, was
i'm the city yesterday. Speaking about
school matters, he said the people OF
his community are wide-awake on
the subject of education. During sew
eraI years their district school has
been doing good work. but they are
anxious that their children shall have
better educational facilities than the
Public School Fund can afford. On
account of their desire that their
community should forge ahead on
educational lines, and in order that
a greater interest might be awakened
thew held an educational rally last
Saturday at Catawba Springs. Prof.
Il. V. Judd, County superintendent or
Schools, was present and addressed
large audience. He urged the leVylhG
of a special tax as the most efficient
and feasible plan for securing long
term schools and good teachers HOW
ever as a special tax would not De
available for this year, he suggested
that a stock company be organized Tor
suppIementing the Public School
Fund. The people took very readily
to the idea and in a short while $4OO
had been subscribed. This guarantees
a ten-month school.
Prof II. c.. Council and Miss Verna
Penny have been reelected teachers
for the ensuing year.
Mr.. Banks stated that the people
are very much pleased over this FAR
ward step. and that Prof. Judd has
won many warm friends in that COM
