Poem excerpt by Anna Hubbard Mercur, written in a 19th century newspaper style, laments long days and fading joy. It frames life as a grand song interrupted by sorrow, with a reply that hardship is meant to teach compassion for those in darkness.
The piece outlines monazite a rare phosphate mineral rich in cerium lanthanum and didymium with thorium in minor amounts. It describes deposits in North and South Carolina and neighboring streams, mining methods sluicing and hand labor, ore grades from 0.0 to 1 percent, and uses including Welsbach incandescent mantles and drug oxalates.
The 1828 discovery of gold in Brindle creek Burke County sparked a rush as streams yielded gold with primitive methods such as pan rocker long tom and sluice box. Large slave owners used enslaved labor for mining, vast quantities were produced though records are absent. Best authorities estimate two to three million dollars before a U. S. mint existed only in Philadelphia.
