Mr.. Editor: l would like TO call MT. ntiou
to one of the mineral resources 'f"ur stale.
our auriferous quartz. veins OF - bici iorm o
belt across tue state. wish To q al attention,
especially, IN Abbeviiie County. SpGi h Caro-
lima, veins wEich have been w"rsrd In q
crude manner from time 10 tam" i"r q great
many years. There are old dumps from old
works that was done before the aHr. and some
OF our Oldest citizens can rsue'nber when
this work WAS done. Since that time there
has been considerable WORK done. bot none of
II has been done according 10 tho modern and
successful methods Of mining. Most OF the
wOrk doue here In the past has been what IL
down tO water, m none OF those doing the
work had no pumps aud other necessary liza,
chinery for doing deep mining.
The properties are owned and used tor farm
Ing purposes, and the mineral fealur are not
being developed aR they should be. Those
that own the properties have not the capita
for this purpose. and the capitalists have not
sakrn the interest In this section they rhonld
sInce the discovery Of guid In the West. We
are told by those who have done some OF this
york In the past, that even by their crude
euo,hods which were necessariiy expensive.
they always succeeded In getting good returns
Tor their lsbor. A. q result from this work
it has been found that the ores here carry
high gold values, and there iS an abundance
Of u. What we now need ~ capital 10 put
Ia plants To successfully work u according To
exception, no work is being done In dsveI-
opiDg their properties. ID. e. Stsinback and
severni others who IRE ipterrsted with him,
have obtained options on several good prop
ertte~, and are al the prese nt time gagged In
deveiopinx one Of the m, The "Neel Mine"
This property is located In The center Of the
belt about D l-2 miles south Of A bbevtlle They
sunk q small prospect shaft 10 water and 10.
GATED q large vein Of ore carry Ing high values.
They we're 10 we'll satisfied with their pros
ptet thai they are now engaged In sinking
main working shaft To cut vain nj about 2OJ
feet level and expect 10 open up u tine body
of ore.
They have several good veins on the prop
erty. and ara now organizing a company for
the purpose OF further developing their prnp-
critics. and TO equip themselves with q large
plant for reduction Of the ore obtained. They
expect TO have their company organized
soon, and We hope they will have no trouble
In securing q sufficient amount Of capita
from the snlc OF their stock to develop this
industry nv 10 should he. II will greatly bene-
fit our state. and especially our iOraIity, and
they certainly have our good wishes In their
meritoriOus Efforts There nrs a aumber Of
good properties In their locality. and we hope
to nee others here noon following their good
example.
In the pursuit OF wealth and search fo- In.
vsstmAnts. two considerations should be kept
steadily In view-Prnft aud Safty. What IN.
duHtry In rare and marvellous degree com.
bines these In these times Of bitter and fierce
rivalry: Unhesita'ingiy. gold mining. Here
th" lehst effort secures The grea test reward.
More wealth has been Rmassed from iuieIIi.
gent mining than from any other field OF In.
dustry. To modern mining are now applied
strict business principles expert mining
knowledge and Intelligent business manage
nent.
These have resulted In establishing mining
the one Industry absolutely assuring pnor.
NOUS returns with the "rhRnce' element prnc.
cnlIy eliminated. For my years miners aud
capital have sought the riches OF remoir
fields, charm seeming TO lie In fheir very
