THE KING GOLD MINE

Hopefully, soon I will bring the blog up-todate, so much happened in Aug and Sept. We moved from Gainesville to Houston. Now I am unpacking and finding all sorts of "stuff." Before the "stuff" is either filed or maybe thrown away I will comment when I have time and save rest.
     In the KING FAMILY ALBUM you will find photos and more information about the North Carolina Gold Mind. What I found this AM is the typed directions by JW Webb mailed to person inquiring on location of King Family Gold Mind. As John was growing up, he heard lots about the mine, in fact his Grandfather JW Webb and Great Uncle Josh King made a trip to Brevard NC to reopen the mine and become rich. They did open the mine, had samples tested, then quietly moved back into reality. Even if they found The Mother Lode, it would have to be shared with descendants of (Jacob King's father).
    If you are interested in going to the site of Gold Mine, find the King Alum, a copy of JW Webb's directions are in the album. I have the album now (I made the book and filled with photos and data) but will soon be donating to Stone County Historical Society. The Society uses the old high school building as museum and has an active group of old timers. A good place for the album to be shared and enjoyed by all.
