For the Safety of Miners.


The death of young Robert Turner
and sever miners in Montana this
week strongly emphasizes the great
necessity of every mine being sup
piled with a liberal number OF head
protectors, which, when worn, enaD-
les a miner to enter a mine no mat
ter TO what extent the mine may be
impregnated with smoke, gases or
poisonous air. The Kearsarge mine,
of which Mr.. Turner was superintend-
ent, is operated principally by tunnel,
and the buildings at or near the en-
trance of the tunnel were destroyed
by fire. An upraise had been made
to the surface at some distance in for
air purposes. The smoke from the
burning building was drawn in the
tunnel. which literally smothered the
miners at work. Mr.. Turner and
three miners in an effort to reach
these men entered the mine and were
overcome from the fumes and lost
their lives. This action itself was sui
cidal. but there exists in the heart OF
every miner the humane desire to aid
his imperiled brother. Hundreds OF
similar cases are on record. Such ac-
cidents as occurred at the kearsarge
mine this week are of common occur
renee. and every mine should be
equipped with every known appliance
to aid the to reach the un-
fortunate men entombed. Head pro-
tectors. so arranged by air cells as to
form perfect protection to wearers,
enabling them to remain in almost
any kind of foul air or smoke for sew
eral hours. are on the market. More
thought should be given to such mat
tiers by superintendent of every kind
of mining. and the result would be
less loss of life when such accidents
occur.-Mining World.

Ninetenths of the worlds produc-
ton of silver is from the native metal
and the following ores: Argentifer-
Gus galena, argentite the sulphide,
proustite and pyrargyrite, the ruby
silver ores; stephanite. and the CHI
bride cerargyrite. More silver is
probably extracted from silverlead
ores, called argentiferous galenas,
than all the rest of the silver ores
combined. Most every state and ter
ritory in the United States produces
silver-lead ores. More or less native
silver is usually found in all silver
mines. Arizona, Utah and Nevada
produce considerable horn silver, or
cerargyrite, the mines of Tonopah,
Nevada, being unusually rich in this
mineral. 1t is OCCASIONALLY found in
mass. One specimen weighing $50
pounds was taken from a mine in
Pima county. Arizona, this being by
far the largest mass found in this
country. II is a valuable ore OF silver
carrying IS per cent of the metal. Ar
%gentine, or silver glance, is not a
plentiful ore to the United States, but
is one of the main silver pres of Hun
gary and Saxony mines. 1t occurs in
Montana and Colorado in workable
quantities. 1t contains 81 per cent
silver.
The minerals proustlte and pyrar-
gyrite are called respectfully, light
red silver and dark red silver ores, or
ruby silver. They at times occur in
beautiful crystalliZed forms. Both are
found in a number of the states. The
Comstock lode in Nevada was partic.
ularly rich in these minerals. Arizona
and Colorado produce considerable
silver from these ores. Proustite car
ries 65.5 per cent silver and pyrargy-
rite 59.S per cent. ~Stephanite, or brit
tie silver ore, is a sulphide of silver
and anthony. 1t is found in Arizona,
Colorado, Nevada and other states.
but not plentifully. 1t runs in silver
6S.5 per cent. Other ores of silver
from which a small percentage of the
worlds output of the metal is from
are embolite and bromyrite chlorides
of silver. these minerals being found
in Mexico and Chill and carry about
80 per cent silver chlorides. Stern.
bergite, a silver-lead selenide. contain
ing 30 per cent silver, found sparingly
in the United States. Silver ores are
distributed through rocks of all kinds
and ages, in gneiss. granite and mica
schist. sandstones. shales, limestones,
etc. When silver occurs in gneiss or
metamorphic rocks, distant from erup-
tive kinds, galena is frequently the
chief ore, quartz, florite and barte be.
ing the gangue minerals. Silver ores
of such occurrence are usually lean
and unproductive. Where silver is
found in plentiful quantities. the
veins, whether intersecting, metamor.
phic, fragmental. etc. are always con.
nected with eruptive rocks. Native
silver occurs In calcite in Michigan
and other points in the United States
and in Chihuahua, Mexico. The Bat.
opolis mine is a source of beautiful
productions of white calcite and ma
tive silver in branches and other
forms. The United States has for
years produced a third or more of the
worlds total silver output. Mexico
comes second in production. Bolivia,
South America, ranking third, this
country having within the past few
years taken this position.

THE MEN OF BLUE WATER.
They Helped Make Yorks Record Fo
Fine Scholarship.


In last Tuesdays issue, THE EN-
oUIRER gives q picture and sketch OF
Mr.. John Lowrie Bolin, aged eighty
two years: We have known Mr.. Bolin
all our life, as quiet, unostentatious
citizen. He belongs to family noted
for its longevity. Some Of whom In
our day have passed their Tooth mile
stone.
Lowrie, for a long time, was one OF
the leading men of that section, known
as "The. Nation" or BLUE Water" In
elections; his influence was sought for
by candidates wanting Office. What
love couldn't accomplish liquor could.
Rum would often succeed when reason
failed. -.
The Bolin family were noted for
their courage-they sprung from Rev
olutionary ancestry. Many Of their
descendants are now living at the cot
ton mills In Cherokee county and 9TH
ers are among it's farming and other
Industrial classes.
In ante-bellum days when free IL
quor and free fights were common, the
test Of pluck or physical manhood was
a common pastime. For man In
those days and among those people to
carry low down cowardly grudge un-
til he got the advantage Of his adver-
sary or until he got in liquor before he
could bring it to an issue was looked
upon as an arrant coward. Sticks,
rocks, fists and feet were the only
weapons used in settling old scores or
new difficulties. When the war came
on, some Of them were among the first
to go to the front and there they re-
mained until the flag was forever
furled at Appomattox and Greensboro.
No section Of the country left greater
per cent of Its men upon the battle
field than did York county and on
whom were no fewer records bestowed
for their gallantry.
The grand old county Of York has
given to the new county Of Gaffney q
territory and people Of whom we are
justly proud. They are, many of them,
the men or descendants Of the men OF
whom we speak,. L. S., in GaffneV

A Legend OF February.

Here is the pretty legend which tells
why February has only twenty-eight
or twenty-nine days. Long ago, they
say, February was gambler, and he
was SO unlucky that he soon lost all
his monsy. Like other gamblers, he
tried to recover it, and he said to his
companions that If they would lend
him some money he would give them
as security one of his days. January
and March. who were naturally asso-
ciated with him more often than any
Of the other months, accepted his Of
fer, and as poor February soon lost the
money which he had borrowed each Of
them acquired one Of his days.
That is why January and March have
each thirty y-one days and February has
only twenty-eight in ordinary and
twenty-nine in leap years.
