AMONG THE PHOSPHATE MINES.
THE ANNUAL TOUR or INspEc.
PION.

The State PeoSphate Commission
has made the annual tour of inspec-
tion among the mines in the phosphate
territory, and Governor Evans has
talked in an interesting way with the
reporters about the trip, which lasted
more than u week. He was delighted
with Port Royals prospects as Il port,
and incidentally took occasion to speak
| politically of Charleston's future. He
said
Wcll, We had y great t,.,p We
made an inspection of the land miuGs
and found vi the works in operation.
Thcre is great complaint that there
are no sales Of fertilizers. We found
all the dredges at work aud plenty OF
negroes digging.
We went from there to .Beaufo%t,
where wewere mcstc0nfteously lylecoiy-
cd by Col. Averill, who took us in
| charge. The citiZens Of Beaufort cN-
tended to us the eourtesics of the town
and the phosphate magazines were
kind and cOnsidcrate in every sense Of
the word. They furnished us with
every means for inspecting the terri
tory aud accompanied us. IL was
gratifying to notice the aCGiye opera
tlOn in CuOsa% river of ali the dredges
which few months ago were cHpsizad
and in many Instances Submerged in
the river The dredgcS have been
| fully repaired, being as good rs new,
