Southern Gold Fields.
Baltimore Sun

The excitement over the gold
fields of Alaska and Canada has
awakened interest in the more ac-
cessible gold mines of the Southern
States. Some $45, 565 ,4S3 of gold,
it is found by recent inquiries, has
been taken from the mines of Ma
ryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Tennessee. Nearly half of the
gold was obtained in North Caro-
lima, Georgia being the next lar
gest producer. Since 1891, how
ever, SouthCarolina has been lead
ing in the production of gold.
Some nuggets are found in these
Southern fields, but placer dig
gings are the features of impor-
lance. ''Pay rock" not ''pay
dirt is what the Southern minel
has to deal with, and for this he
requires capital, machinery and
scientific processes, besides bust
ness methods and experience. New
methods of treatment make it pos
sible to get gold in paying quaint
ties from ores formerly regarded
as intracticable. In consequence
of this fact old mines are being re
opened and new ones developed

''The prospects are very bright
for the largest cotton crop that

from all parts of the South say |
that the farmers have forsaken

the Mississippi Valley the recent
floods had a tendency to increase
the fertility of the soil, and in
| those places where the waters
went down soon enough to plant
the crop the farmers will gather
a third more to the acre. In
Georgia the farmers have not heed

of the soil of this State to be COW
cred with cotton than ever before.
