The State of South Carolina, in common
with the whole mining rea of the South,
suffered last year from q drought which
seriously retarded work In every locality.
The cultivation of cotton having become
more remunerative than other pursuits, it
has almost entirely diverted miners of small
means from their mining work. Notwith-
standing these adverse circumstances the
condition of the gold industry in South
Carolina is favorable, and the yield is evil
IDENTIFY increasing. The production of the
State in 1881 was $35, 600.
