AS ONE FROM THE DEAD.
Jacob ClOy ReturuS to His Home at Gran
iteyile Left Sd Years Ago to Conceal
Bloody Murder.
Aiken Journal and Review.


About mile from Deervana and
about twelve miles from Aiken is
the old Posey homestead. At one
time, long ago, this was the seat
one of the most prosperous planta.
tons in this section. Frank
Posey, the owner, was true type
OF the rich Southern planter Of the
ante-bellum days, owning many
slaves and living in a manner al
most prinCely in STYLE Today this
old homestead is owned by those OF
another name, and the old place is
no longer the scene Of aflluent ease.
but the old house is tumbling down
and the lands no longer yield their
plenty at the hands of their black
tillers. The story OF the decline of
the Posey family and the decay OF
this country seat is story Of greed
and murder.
The great farmer had a son, Mar
tin Posey, who married a young
wife: III lS49, and for a while lived |
happily OH the place given him by
his father. The young wife was
All helress, sharing large property
with her sister. who was unmarried.
Finally the demon of greed en-
tered the heart of the Young man,
and he began to think how he
could obtain possession Of the prop
erty Of both his wife and her sister
And then the thought OF murder,
and the man 5 soul vas sold for its
price Martin Poscy, it is said,
1rled III many ways to put his wife
out OF the way without numbering
her III cold blood. She escaped
several traps set for her, and he at
last decided to settle the matter
once and for all. He told er one
ulght that the dairy was open and

the mix. The UnsuspeCting woman
went to the dairy ard the husband
followed. There awaiting her was q
ouriy negro who, obey!ng his mas
ter previous instructions, beat the
young woman down with club
Then, Oh her knees, the poor wife
saw her lord and master standing
Ii the darkness making signs to
.he blacEcr faced. but no b,ackel
hearted william, urging him to finish
illS work. 1t IS said that lhc poo
victim begged her husband no, to
XII her, but Po>ey continued to
urge the negro, VINO beat her to the
ground. Then the body Was dragged
into the bushes and hastily buried
For ten days after the body was

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner, to be sure. but not relying on home consumption ex-
iclusively, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let US for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay,
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn, Skylark
and dozens of rich lead-silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
ler gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
of rich lead-silver mines; Loon creek, placer and gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is goldsiver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smeters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley; d smeter at Clayton;concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new 800ton smeter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enrching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its southwestern border, and pur-
suing a zlgzag course in a general north-easterly direction, receiv-
|es the waters of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river ana its tributaries, flow through
thousand of acres of arabic land still uncultvated. Since the hand
of man is forced to supply what nature withholds, irrigation takes
the place OF rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant, fruitful valleys out of deserts; would convert the
the silence of desolation into the sounds from many homes. Agri-
culture, like all other industries of the county, is in its infancy.
The time is not distant when large irrigating canals will be taken
out OF Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrush land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields of
hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc, per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock-growing is one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges, has become a very remunerative industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock-growers.
