Mines

The Reed Mine about 12 miles south of Concord; the ores on the lower hill veins 
are exceedingly rich; of late no work has been done on that part of the mine; 
the upper hill has been very rich in places, and it is thought the mine would 
pay well with proper management ----- depth 100 feet.  Owned by Philadelphia 
parties.

The Furr Mine adjoining the Reed on the North side, has been very recently 
opened, a shaft has been sunk 75 ft. Owned by Allen Furr, Cabarrus.

The First National Mines, is situated 9 miles SE from Concord, a 20 stamp mill 
with the necessary steam power has been erected during the present year; but 
little work has been done to test the value of the mine. Owned by a NY Company.

The Cabarrus Mine adjoining is on the same ledge;  a 16 stamp mill is in process 
of erection but like the First National, it is entirely undeveloped.  Owned by a 
Washington D C Company.

The Phoenix Mine is situated 7 miles SE from Concord; this property has yielded 
some 930,000 dollars; it is, beyond doubt, one of the most valuable property's 
in the state.  Owned mostly by  R T Brock.

The Excelsior Mine adjoining the Phoenix on the east, is another valuable 
property; this property has not been worked to the same extent as the Phoenix, 
and therefore has yielded less.  Owned by W P Furmiss, New York.

The Bangle Mine is situated in the North of the Phoenix, and adjoining; this is 
a very extensive property, and if properly opened, would yield 50 ton or ore per 
day.  Owned by R D Cullen, New York.

The Faggart Mine is to the North and adjoining the Bangle Mine; this property is 
much smaller, in extent that the before mentioned, but is a valuable mine.  
Owned by J T Faggart, Cabarrus County.

The North Barrier Mine is situated to the south of the Phoenix. Two steam 
engines with a 10 stamp mill are erected on the mine and in operation. the 
prospects are very flattering.  Owned by a Washington D C Company.

The Pioneer Mills Mine is one among the earliest discovered mines of the State; 
situated about 12 miles SW from Concord, this mine has yielded large amounts of 
gold, and is a valuable property for as well for copper as gold. Owned by Aiken 
& McCullock Albany NY.
