tr h r GOLD IN PAVING STONES. THERE MAY BE LOT8 OF THE METAL IN NEW YORK STREETS. HtiE8-t Heked by Ilo, from it Con- tractor's Pile Qtioer Rtorirs Told nf rrobnlile Deposit In Uw CaUklll anil Alltctinnjr Mountains. 8icclal Correspondence.) New Youk, Jaii. 00. "Do you seri ously menu tlmt valuiihlo specimens of gold hnvolieon lacked from plica of rocks lyhiR around looso in Uio Btrocta of Now York?" "I do most seriously, nnd If I could hAvo found tlio sourco from which thoy CAino, I would todrty Ixs twenty times a millionaire " The speaker was ah old And well known resident of tho city, And tho facta men tioned by him in tho following narrntlvo bto fnmillnr to a number of persons. "Flvoor six years aro," ho continued, "I lived on ono of tho up town streets near Central park, between Fifth And Sixth nvenuoa. Repairs to tho roadway being necessary, a iortion of it had been removed preparatory to laying a new foundation, tho baso of which was to consist of pebbles and crushed stones mixed with a species of composition. Day After day cartloads of this material wcro brought there and dumied in piles while tho process of improvement went on. "One morning a young son coining in from play his mother discovered that his pockets wero filled with theso pebbles, which, loy like, ho had gathered because, as ho said, 'they wcro pretty.' You must throw those tilings away instantly,' alio exclaimed, 'becauso I don't want tho house lumbered up with such trash, nnd besides, it will ruin your trousers.' Tho lad obeyed, but obtained permission from his mother to reservo a few that he particularly fancied by reason of their! shape and Attractiveness. Among the' latter wero bits of quartz containing' crystals, a numier or small round stones that evidently had been subjected to tho action of running water, and oihcrsiicci mens such as a 10-year-old geologist would naturally select for a placo in his cabinet. On returning from business that evening, ray attention was called by tho boy to his Mind,' and particularly to two or threo irregular fragments about tho slzo of DrAzil nuts, because, as ha said, 'they wero so bright and yellow and looked just like gold.' To mo, howovcr, they were only bite of quartz containing iron pyrites presenting tho usual yellow ish metallic luster, and I read to him from an encyclopedia a description of tho manner in which thoy aro employed n tho manufacturoof sulphurous acid. "In order to satisfy him Btill further 1 cracked a spcclmon in a mirnocr of pieces, but rich, glistening flakes fo" in such abundance upon the hearthstone where the demonstration had taken placo that even my own curiosity was now aroused, and I determined tho next morn ing to investigate further. On going down town 1 showed tho fragments to a number of friends, among others tho late F. D. Wallace, tho Droad street banker, and explained tho circumstances under which they had boon found. All agreod that they presented such a remarkable appearance as to warrant an examination by an expert, and they were accordingly carried to tho United Stntcn assay office in Wall street. To tlio official there, however, nothing was said ns to Umj lo cality from which thoy had bo recently been taken. Glancing at them for a mo ment, ho said: 'It isn't necessary to tost theso specimens; tho- aro simply samples of California ore, very rich in gold. I linvo handled thousands of pounds, but very rarely oro bo valuable no this,' " 'If this is gold, it never kiw Califor nia,' was tho reply. 'It was picked up in a pllo of paving stones in tho upper part of Now York cfty by a boy 10 year old only yestorday morning.' "'If that is true, it is either an accident or a revelation,' returned tho official; 'but in order to bo sure 111 rnalco a test,' nnd thereupon ho retired to a rear room. When ho caino back it was with a look of surprico on his face and tho remark: 'Just as I told you, sir; that is frco bear ing gold quartz of tho richest quality. As nearly as I can calculate from a cur sory examination, it would assay from twenty-fivo hundred to threo thousand dollars a ton. Under tho microscope, however, tho quartz presents a different appearance from that which is most common in California. It mora closely resembles that which has been found in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. If such a specimen is a nativo of this neighborhood, it will bo a marvel. Yet tho discoveries of gold in Califor nia and Australia wero also marvels. Wo como upon it when it is least ex pected. Mar-shall found it originally whilo digging in n millraco on the estate of Capt. Suter, on tho Sacramento river. It was found in digging a well at San Francisco, nnd then again n hundred miles off, whero it was dropping from cliffs into tho sea nnd slowly settling through tho sands of tho shore. Soven Mexicans discovered gold in soft clay and slato that could bo crushed between tho fingers, and keeping their secret eight days, made in that short time $317, 000. Tho Ulue Ridgo region lias yielded n solid specimen weighing twenty-eight pounds. If wo could easily Jay our hands upon gold, wo might nil bo rich, hut it is a fact well known among miners that tho noblu metal is not generally found in the position In which it was originally do posited. For theso reasons, I say again that tho finding of theso specimens is a rovelution if not an accident, for thoy in dicate a not distant sourco of supply. If that can bo discovered you may mako yourself a rich man in forty-eight hours.' "Theso suggestions by nn expert wero naturally exciting." continued tho nar rator, "and to none more than to Mr. F. D. Wnllnco, who promptly declared ho would invest a million of dollars in tho event of the discovery to begin with, and as much nioro as might bo necessary. No gras grow under my feet whilo hur rying homo after thnt inteivlow at tho assay otllco for tho purposoof further in vestigating tho pebhlo piles in tho street, ' hut you niKf fancy my dismay on find ing Hint not n vestigo of them remained, Iho repairs had Ih-oii completed, nnd cnits, contractors ami tar kettles had nllko disappeared. Not a clow was left to work upon. "Then Iwgan n fortnight's search for n thread. I visited all tho dumping place, of such material in and nrotind tho city, talked with tho agents who supplied it nnd the men who lought it, talked with captains of tho IhuU and, In short, with everybody connected with tho business, hut tho result was nil. No one knew where rock of thnt jH.-cullnr color win obtained, it might como from anywhere or everywhere. Many of tho obblet wero found along tho shores of New York, Now Jersey, Statcn Island nnd Long Island; some were found in the bed a of streams, nnd tnueh of the mil' terial was the result of crushing by ma chinery, Ono of tho contractors ut last HiiggcMled thnt I might Iki rewarded for my geological researches by making n trip up the Hudson and inspecting the outlets of the streams sweeping down from the mountains, for, as ho observed, most of tho rough nnd Irregular shaped rocks lelng broken up by freshets would more likely bo found In such localltici than whero they were continually sub Jcoted to the pulverizing action of the sea. "Well, do you know I was just fool enough to act on that man's hint, and equipped with n pair of high top IxxHs, 11 hammer, tiocket iiiioro.Meoe, bottle ol nitric acid nnd a haversack, I spent lh ni-xt two weeks as a tramp among the streams 011 Inith sides of tho Hudson. I had a lot of fun ami fatigue, chipped stones by the hour, pounded great rockr and attacked every suspicious looking vein, spent $.10 and caught a cold that lasted mo nearly all the next winter; but that was the sum total of my labors, and that ended my search for gold in nnil nround New York. I came homo a sad der and wiser man, but uooue can make me beliovo that the specimens which i 1 vo nu so much trouble aro not iwrt nnd parcel of a monster store which Dame Nnturo is keeping in hiding for wmio lucky mortal, who ono of these days will accidentally drop upon the spot, and by Ids discovery startle the world. How much of the precious stud Inn gone Into the pavements of Now York, just as those pieces, easily worth threo or four dollars, might havodono, it beyond tho ken of man, nnd 1 his day 1 never see a pilo of rocks in tho street, waiting to bo turned Into concrete or something of tho kind, without regarding it, as Charles A. Dana says of his con temporaries, 'with tho most distinguished consideration.'" So ended tho story of tho old gcntlo man. The mane - in which it was dieted is explained by tho following in cident in the oxoricnoo of tho writer. Meeting Mr. Edward H. Underbill, the well known official reporter of tho sur rogate's court, and another friond, a physician equally distinguished, but who might not caro to havo his namo men tioned, tho conversation turnod upon the remarkable display of gold nuggets and rich pieces of quartz which tho latter wore In various places. Thoy wcro of different b!kch and shape, ranging from tho size of a pea to that of a filbert. They formed a long neck, chain for his watch; constituted tho row of studs in his shirt bosom and the buttons on his sleeves and vest, nnd several rough but valuable rings wero on his fingers. Al together tho "got up" was unique nnd attractive, not tho rcuult, however, oi any eccentricity on tlkoparVof tho physi cian, but for tho pur ponst of a visit which the gentlemen wcro about to mako. Tiro writer joconely made tlio remark, 'Why, doctor, you must liavu lioen In California and struck it rich." "No,"!! replied, smilingly, "all this gold that you seo, and more that I havo In mj pocket, I gathered with my own hnndi within t.rs0 miles of Now York." "Wall street, or possibly boino of the curie shops, ehr "No, sir; I am not joking; it Is gold picket! up by mo in tho moun tains and along tho streams of tho ranger chiefly on tho west sido of tho Hudson river. 1 hnve long entertained th tlieory, verified further south, that tin Appalachian chain of mountains, extend lug from Canada to Alabama, is a golc region containing tho metal in mora 01 lens paying qualities. In North Carol itu there ore places where a man may fill 1 quill in half a day's walk along tho mar gin of a stream, and other sot3 'whero 1 Bcorch is rewarded by largo nuggets. Before tho war a branch mint was estab llshcd nt Charlotte. In South Carolina mines aro oven now worked with more or less of profit, "Ten miles from Fredericksburg, Va,, on tho Rappahannock river, gold existed in paying quantities; and coming still fur ther north, oven to Nova Scotia, you fre quently find tho precious metal in quanti ties more tangiblo than a merotrnco. You need not bo surprised, therefore, whe.r 1 repent that I picked up this gold on my rrorson witti my own hands. Some of it is in a pure state and remarkably rich others of tho nuggets wero originally in Hakes, or small particles found in lilts of loose quart., and havo since been fused. Every year for years past I have devoted a part of my summer's vacation to 0 long jaunt through tho mountains, hoping eventually to strike tho vein 01 veins that have yielded theso fragments: mid, marl; my prediction, some timo the source will b found. It may Ihj strncl; in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts or Connecticut, but I bellovu it v. ill bo first found in the neighborhood of the Catsl.ilN." "Why Mi" iniiulred the writer. "Be causu it was in tint neighborhood 1 ob tained the specimens you bee. Some of the richest 1 loiiud in streams not tar from IVcksklll. There is gold in Put nam and Dutchess counties in what is known in the Fishklil mountains, and gold In tlio range which enters Orange county from New Jersey. The boy is et alive, in my judgment, who will stuinlde '.n hisfccnich oil the deposit in i;s native lied, and we may then be nlile to trace its trend from noithenst to southwest." Putting the leiuarknhle statements of tho doctoi with tho curious experience of the old gentleman first referred to. Is 1 hero not roinething in the Idea that New York may bo "paved with gold?"
