!. Gold. \
W.. D.. s.
- s.ENNksNENhhttNNy IA NxNNt..

A party of miners from California
came along and asked father to let him
search for gold. He soon discovered
small particles in a branch and some ne
gro men were put under him to do the
digging. Sluice ways were constructed
in the branch to run the dirt and rocks
over to wash out the gold. An order
was sent to the rolling mill in Spartan
burg for castings to make a rocker
which was made in the shape of a baby's
crib. The first bottom had small holes
all over it, the next bottom had larger
size holes. The dirt and rocks were
shoveled into this machine and it was
rocked until all the small particles
passed through the holes. The rocks
were cast aside as we had no machine
to crush them. All the settings in the
bottom of the rocker werec collected and
poured out for the gold. The work
went on during the winter months and
was discontinued as it paid only about
a dollar per day to the hand. The gold
was put into goose quilts and was sold
to North Carolina tobacco traders who
carried them to Charlotte, N. c., to the
mint. There has been no effort made
since that time to locate the vein and
develop the mine.

CRITICISM OF BOATS.
ou,ns Are Being Constructed on
Wrong Lines, President Roosevelt
Will Call a HaIt-commsnder Keys
,.,ort on the North Dakota Calls
eosfb Prompt Action by President.

prosnects are that row in the navy
aonartment is due that will make the
Dormterdahl-C apps-Converse upheaval
~ This spring appear tame. The dis
~ ,nrbance is expected this week when
.ho president and a distinguished
~ athoring of naval officers will meet at
sSo navy war college at Newport. Criti-
.,aro of the new battleship North Da-
sOta will be the subject and the presi-
aont is determined to get to the bot
tom of the facts.
If the ships are being constructed
~ wrong lines he intends to call a
half on further plans along these
,,noe and the clash of bureaus that
will ensue in that event will be aug
rnonted by the crashing of the big
stick on ancient custom. Great pre-
cautions are being taken to keep the
uublic in ignorance Of the discussion.
The first topic to be taken up, and
tba real cause for the calling of the
conference. is the report of Com
mander Key to the president, in which
he made sweeping criticism of the
North Dakota, sister ship of the Della
ware. These criticisms have been kept
profound secret, even from naval
officers. 1t is accepted that one of the
chief criticisms made relates to arma
ments. The manner in which the II
Pinch guns were mounted was mat
fer of discussion at the time the plan:
were drawn. The bureau of ordnance
at the time declined to permit any
Interference with it's plans.
It would surprise few il the presi
dent. in view of all the circumstances
abolished the present naval board OF
construction and substituted for it
board of design with wholly differen
membership.
In the opinion of naval officers sta
toned here there is every prospec
for the greatest row in years in tn
department. 1t may mean the depos
ton of several of the older officer
who have run affairs at their ow
sweet will for many years. AS thes
officers have friends in high places tn
swing of the presidential big site
will probably be followed by storl
