Mineral Deposits in Carolina.

We are not accustomed to think Oh
North Carolina as state of any great
mineral wealth and consequently a
new report of the geological survey
which states that North Carolina has
a greater variety of mineral deposits
than any other state in the Union
causes surprise. The gold. tin and other
mineral deposits cover large area. L..
|C. Grafton who makes the report
sketches briefly the general geology
giving a short history of tin mining in
the Carolinas and describes the &C.
currence and character of the ore.
The tin mineral is cassiterite, or tin
dioxide, which is found in pegmatite, a
granite rock that occurs in bikes in
belt extending northeastward from
Cherokee County across Cleveland and
Castor counties to Lincoln County. The
report includes 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 region. At the close of
the eighteenth century gold was dis
covered in South Carolina and thirty
years later it was found in North
Carolina. In the year 1929 gold to the
value of $500 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 prob
ably been about $10,0e0,000.
The gold deposits of the Carolinas are
of many types, all of which are de-
scribed by Mr.. Grafton. The distribu-
ton of the gold, the genesis of the de-
posits, and the mining developments
are fully discussed.
Deposits of ores Of iron, copper, lead
monazite, corundum, and other min
erals occurring in this region are de-
scribed in the report.

For the first time since their demo-

criiicise them for voting 10 opposition to
Minority Leader CLARK during the con
alteration of the fitzgerald amendments
to the rules of the House last Monday
the six Georgia members on Saturday
night attempted an explanation OF their
course. They are Livingston, Howard,
Biantley, Edwards, Lee and Griggs.
These Georgians say they differed from
some of the other democrats on ques-
ton Of policy, not of principle, and that
ave believe it more in keeping with
democracy and the plank of the Denver
platform declaring for revision OF the
rules To- present democratic proposal
for such revision, rather then create o
committee composed Of nine republicans
and six democrats to carry out the dem
ocraic platform. Another explanation
was forthcoming yesterday as to the
course of certain democrats in opposing
Mr.. CLARK last Monday by voting for the
Fitzgerald amendments to the House
rules. Representatives Keliher aud
Peters, of Boston, and Representative
Harrisou, of New York, issued state
