RALEIGH, June 15.-R-North
Carolina, once this country's great
est producer of gold, is going after
the yellow metal again.
Government sources here reveal
ed today that extensive mining op-
erations were already under way
or we're planned in rich deposits
which were worked full blast be-
fore the ringing cry of gold"
came out of the west in 1849.
But there won't be the pell-mell
hell-for-leather rush of 40 or '98,
experts say. Instead, the rush"
will have the quiet of a scientist
peering through a microscope at
a rock that looks lke-well, like
just another rock.
For the prospectors of 1910 are
biologists and metallurgists back
ed by sufficient capital to insure
that if a deposit is worth the effort,
it will be exploited fully.
The Golconda mine in Rutherford
county is being reope1ied. This is
near and in the same lode as the
lola mine, which from 1902 to 1916
was the largest single gold-pro-
Queer east of South Dakota.
Near Rutherfordton, two Cana
dian brothers are mining with mod
ern methods and planning to dig
to a depth of 1000 feet to deter
mine whether North Carolina veins

have been working in North Caro-
lima because the geology of the
state is similar to that part of Can
ada which is a heavy gold pro-
ducer.)
Several placer deposits in Nash
county, in central : eastern North
Carolina, are being worked extern
sively and it is said that one of
the largest placer-operating outfits
will move in Immediately. The
ore in this area is said to average
from so cents to S. a cubic yard,
which compares favorably with the
type Of ore this firm has worked
hitherto in the West and Alaska.
A group of Canadians has been
active in the old HOWE mine in
Union county, which in past years
has been a good producer. Recent
examination by ore drilling (by
which a plug of earth is removed
much as you would take a plug out
OF a watermelon) has shown this
mine still to hold many thousands
OF dollars worth Of gold.
The past had been marked most
~ for the lack of trained personnel
and capital available to miners,
and consequently gold-mining suf-
fered but now, with what seems
adequate capital a d personnel,
chances are the developments will
have a degree of permanency. l

"The second is that we have

Precision Barraqe
Smashes Russians
Attempting Attack
Finnish Guns Break Up
Concentration in Front
Of Mannerheim Line
BY NORMAN b. DEUEL.

WITH FINNISH ARMY
on the Karelian Isthmus,
Jan. 9. (UP)-Precision fir
ing by two batteries of Fin
nish artillery and two anti-tank
gun crews has smashed another
concentration of Russian troops
moving up to attack the Manner
helm line.
Touring the front line yesterday,
clad in one of the Finnish white
snow tunics, watched this artil-
cry barrage counteract Russian
barrage that had been under way
since early morning.
When it was over, Finnish Off
GERS said their gunners had de-
stroyed two Russian tanks and
destroyed almost company OF
Russian infantry, which was ad-
vancing with machine guns and
mortarS.
The Russian shells had been
blasting the ground around us,
throwing up geysers of snow and
breaking limbs off trees.
I was at the Finnish headquarters
deep underground, when word came
from observers that the Russian
concentrations had been located.
The telephones began to ring and
officers gave orders to the gun
crews above. Although I didn't real
ize it at the time, I was witnessing
the organization of one of the Pin
nish artillery precision barrages in
which, it is claimed, eight of 10
shells hit their objectives.
An officer said, 1.-The Russians
are planning some funny business.
We are going to let them have it
at-o'clock." He named the minute
of the attack.
I climbed out of the dugout to
watch it. At the minute named.
Finnish guns roared simultaneously.
They seemed to be on all sides OF
me but I couldn't see them, so well
were they camouflaged. Firing was
at the rate of about 80 rounds
minute. 1 couldn't see the objec-
tiveS and did not learn until later
what success the barrage had hao.
