Looking Into the Matter

The U. S. Government, through its
immigration officials, has wired to In
speetor Raphael Bonham, Of this city,
to make certain inquiries into the
status Of the shipping articles under
which the sailors Of the French ship
Asineres, now loading lumber at the
Hammond Lumber company's docks,
and report his findings by wire; the
object being no doubt TO take due
eognisance Of the pleas made by the
union steyedores as against the right
Of these men TO handle cargo under

ATHLETIC CLUB BOYS
WIN THE GAME
SEVERAL HUNDRED sPEcTA-
TORS ARE INTERESTED IN
BASKETBALL CONTEST.

The basketball game in the Athletic
Club gymnasium last night between
the Athletic Club team and the team
composed Of telephone employees
was fine exhibition Of strength and
agility, though perhaps not as excel
lent a display Of skill in the finer
points OF the game. The athletic club
boys won by score Of 18 to 7.
Much interest was manifested in
the contest by the large number Of
spectators, there being perhaps over
$50 people there, filling the gallery
and the seats placed along the sides
Of the gymnasium
The Athletic Club team had gained
considerable practice during the week,
while the telephone boys showed
their lack Of team practice. though
they did good work individually.
Both sides seem to be pretty well
winded when the halves came to an
end. The line-up was as follows:

second half for the telephone team.
Harry Harbert for the Athletic Club
seemed to be easily one Of the stars
Of the game, while Jeldness threw
four baskets. Cecil Hale acted as ref

II is probable that many other
basketball games will be played be-
tween various teams at the club gym.

GOLD And TIN In CAROhINAS
Geological Survey Describes Extent
Of the Deposits.
Yellow Metal Found In Small Paying
Quantities I'm Several
Counties.

In the number OF its mineral species
North Carolina is said 10 excel any other
State IN the Union. and minerals in great
number and variety have been found in
South Carolina The gold. tin. and other
mineral deposits Of a large area ina the
central part OF the Carolinas form the
subject Of a report by L C.. Grafton. pub
lshed by the United States Geological
Survey as Bulletin 80
IN discussing the TIN deposits Of this
area. Mr.. Grafton sketches briefly the gem
eral geology, gives a short history ~ tin
mining in the Carolinas. and describes
the occurrence and character Of the ore.
The tn mineral is cassiterite. or Tin dr.
oxide, which is found I'm pegmatite. a
granite rock that occurs in bikes in a
belt extending northeastward from Cher
okee County across Cleveland and Gas
ton Counties 10 Lincoln County The
report includes a description OF the tin
mines and of the methods OF mining and
extraction.
When the early Spanish explorers came
TO America the Indians showed them rich
nuggets and ornaments of gold which
came from the southern Appalachian re-
gion. At the close Of the eighteenth cen
fury gold was discovered in south Caro-
lima and thirty years later 70 was found
I'm North Carolina. In the year 1929 gold
20 the value OF $3.50 was mined in South
Carolina and from that time until the
civil war gold mining was carried on In
the Carolinas with profit. The total gold
production OF the region has probably
been about 100000.
The gold deposits OF the Carolinas are
OF many types, all OF which are described
by Mr.. Grafton. The distribution Of the
gold, the genesis Of the deposits. and the
mining developments are fully discussed.
Deposits OF ores of iron. copper. lead.

occurring in this region are described In

CAPITALS FREIGHT TRAFFIC
Cars in Washington Territory Larger
This Year Than Last.
Data Contained I'm Recently Pub
IiShed Report OF Bureau
Of Statistics.
Photo by sEving

That freight traffic is surely growing
rapidly on the lines contiguous and run
ming through Washington Is made plain
IN a report covering the month Of Sep
tember, recently published by the gov
eminent Bureau OF statistics
The report. which covers the operations
Of freight cars over the United states. is
compiled from data furnished by storage
and demurrage bureaus, which are the
official source Of information regarding
the volume Of freight handled in any
given territory. II is explained by the
Bureau or Statistics that the figures do
not Indicate with desirable accuracy the
changes IN freight traffic at given cen
ter. as the territory covered by a bureau
may be extended or contracted from year
to year
The figures in the report for Washing
ton are included with those OF Baltimore
and part OF the state OF Virginia ad-
jacent 10 this city. The reporting agency
is called the Baltimore and Washington
Demurrage Bureau. Its report to the
government for the month Of September
for the territory covered is 7461s cars. as
against 64652 in the year 1905 and 66.I72
in 1867. These figures show comfortable
increase In three years for the month of
September.
For the nine months ended with Sep
TENDER. the number OF cars reported is
536.S94 for 1909. 1896 for 1908. and 554 7Os
for the year 1907. II would be interesting
to know more about this volume OF
freight than is given in the tables The
facts represent the cars handled. and this
includes those coming and going with To-
cal freight. and those which are billed
through the territory. The most that
can be said is that the tide OF freight
traffic into and through the city is in
creasing along with that of the neigh
boring city and the territory adjacent in
Virginia.
Washington is growing rapidly. and it
takes constantly more and more material
to build its houses. to feed and clOthe its
people, and the increase in the number
Of cars handled in the territory described
is about proportionate 10 what Is believed
to be the expansion OF the Capital City

ELECTRIC ROADS DO WELL.
baltimore Lines Earning More
Money Than Ever in History.

Baltimore. Md. Nov. 20-The indica-
tons are that the United Railways and
Electric Company viii close the calendar
wear. which Is also the companys fiscal
wear. with the largest gross and net
earnings shown for several years For
the last four months gross receipts exceed
those Of the corresponding period a year
ago by about 6 per cent, while net results
are even better-the increase compared
with 1905 approximatng 70 per cent.
For the fun year the showing prob
ably will not be quite as favorable as
indicated by the foregoing figures. though
there is every reason TO believe that
final results VIII approach and may sur
pass any other year in the history OF
the country.
The financial position Of the United
Railways is better than ever before. The
ratio OF operating to. gross earnings has
been greatly cut as a result Of the lib
eraI expenditures in the last few years
on improvements. and this saving has
enabled the management to very ma
terially reduce the floating debt.
II is confdentially believed in well in
formed quarters that the company will
resume the payment in cash Of the cou-
pons on the income bonds, beginning on
June l. 1911.
