GOLD FOUND BY A
NEGRO IN CARROLL co.

as there any gold up here?"
"Man, you're standing on it," re-
piled Charles Costley, Carroll county
Negro, as he worked a gold mine on
his farm near Woodbine.
"This stuff" he continued, waving
a hand at the loose rock and gravel
near the opening of his shaft, isn't
worth much, though. understand
there's only about So worth to a ton.
"But down here" indicating the
pitch-dark pit, "we're beginning to
to get some fine concentrate"
Costly, who has been farmer, a
railroad worker and road construc-
ton hand, explained he had gotten
an "idea" about six years ago that
there was gold on his property.
81 sent some of it to Washington
for analysis" he said, "and they told
me it was of little value. Then a lit
tie later, lady up the road here sent
some of the same lot to Washington
and they told her it was concentrate
and to dig deeper. So that was when
began to dig, but without having
any equipment or money, didn't get
very far.
Several months ago, I leased the
property to a gold mining corpora
ton in Washington, and they're finan-
cling these operations. They pay me
q salary for working the mine and
give me q commission on all the gold
they get"
Costley said he didn't know how
much gold had been brought up, bat
pointed out that the shaft had been
sunk only thirty-two feet.
A wooden building has been erect
ed over the opening of the shaft,
which is lined with concrete and has
interior dimensions of five by seven
feet. A steam hosting engine has
been set up, but it is not yet in use.
"We've hit pretty solid rock now,
and have to do some blasting to loos-
it," Costley said. eve pull the rock
to the top by hand pulley.
"The gold is black and looks like
little sores in the rock. After it has
been crushed, washed and treated
ed with chemicals, though, it looks
shiny and pretty"
Costley said he received an offer
of $4,000 for his farm when it first
became known that he was operating
gold mine. He refused the offer,
as he had inherited the place from
his uncle, and lives there with his wife
and daughter. He estimated the 40
acre farm was worth about $40 an
acre as farm land.

The tests generally are made with
electrical apparatus showing the ope-
rating functions of the equipment per-
formed more or less in a manner cor
responding to the way it is used in
service. In making these tests the
equipment used is arranged to SIM
ulate as far as possible the most rigid
operating requirements for each of the
features so that irregular conditions
will be indicated before they effect
telephone service. Such routine tests
provide means of periodically check
ing the telephone equipment for oper-
ating capability and to show where
potential trouble may exist. Each
fault is corrected as found.

INSPECTION IS
MADE DAILY
OF TELEPHONES

Preventive maintenance of tele-
phone equipment is operated on the
old adage principle that stitch in
time saves nine." Daily in thousands
of telephone central offices through
out the United States a routine in
spection is made of switchboard
plugs, cords, circuits, switchboard
keys, lamps and relays to keep them
In proper condition, so that there may
be no interruption to the service from
the faulty manipulation of any of this
apparatus at the time that it may be
needed most.
Telephone maintenance men in MAX
ing this routine inspection, accord
ing to the Bell Telephone Quarterly,
utilize suitable gauges that measure
to the nth" of degree the physical
condition of switchboard plugs OF
other apparatus, so that if a fault
should exist, the repairman may make
the necessary adjustment replace
ments prior to any interruption to
telephone service.
Such inspections are scheduled per-
iodically, often enough to eliminate
practically all of the potentially de-
fective apparatus that might cause
service reaction. These tests are
usually carried on in the late hours
of the night or early hours of the
morning, when the lines are the least
busy and there are fewer operators
employed at the switchboards. Ii
this way the maintenance men have
easier access to the switchboards anc
other apparatus located in the oper
ating rooms and also are able to make
repairs if needed with more ease thar
