Gold in the South...
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, May 21, 1831 Over half a page is taken up with: "The Southern Gold Mines" which has a letter from North Carolina which notes: "...This state is rich in gold mines, as you are aware. The gold region is far more extensive in the south than most suppose. It commences in Virginia & extends southwest through North Carolina..." with much more.
Complete in 24 pages, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
