Gold Mines.
Interesting Information about
the Halle, Brewer, Black
mon and Other Gold Mines
in this Section.

Appalachian gold bearing region,
embracing parts Of North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia and Tennessee, bids fair
to rival before many years many
part' of the KloDdike.
AT the close of the Ieva luton
airy war gold was discovered in
Cabarrus county, N. c., and
from that time on prospecting
has been carried on with con
siderable vigor. Later on gold
was discovered in Montgomery
and Mecklenburg counties in the
same state.
he first production from the
area under consideration came
from Lancaster AMI Cheste rfield
counties, In South Carolina, in
1929. and the output was valued
at $1,000. The best recor DIS of
former diggings for gold are in
the United States assay office at
Charlotte, and it seems probable
that the total gold production OF
this section has been about $1O,-
100000 up 10 this time The
mines in this area are among the
mos important gold producers
in he CaIoiiIa belt, and, in fact,
east of the Black Hills Such
mines as the Halle. Brewer, CO.
lossus (iormerly Howie) and
Kings Mountain have been
worked for years and have furn
ished large part Of the output
of he area.
The Halle mine is situated on
Lynch's creek, three and one
half miles northwest o9 Kershaw,
S. c., and is the property of the
Halle Gold Mining company, of
New York city. 1t has been
worked since $50. and the no.
per oXid zad portions Of the ore
bodies were Orce rich and some
of them yielded iumrs OF gold
worth from $500 10 $500. Up
to 1888 the production OF this
mine was about 81. .25O,OOO, and
since that time 1t has been about
$2,OOO,OOO. | is impossible to
estimate what amount of divi.
dends have been declared from
this mine.
The Brewer mine is situated in
a branch of Lynch's river, in
Chesterfield county, S. c., about
four miles sou Invest Of jefferson,
and about ten miles from the
Halle mine. 1t is being worked
by b j. Hartman, under lease
from the DeSoto Mining COM
pany. This is believed to have
been the first important producer
in South Carolina and was in
operation before the revolution
ary war. No idea Of the produc.
ton can be given, but it is be
lieved that several hundred
thousand dollars have been taken
from the mine.
The Biackmon mine is in Ian.

From present indications,

From present indications, 1t
would seem that the investigation
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission into the coal and oil carry
ing. roads is likely to continue for
mouths, The Commission has al
ready been at work more than four
weeks with the Interruptions that
are unavoidable if the business o!
railroad adjustment for which the
Commission was created is to con-
tinue at all They have h e d
hearings in three cities and have
investigated only a small corner of
the soft coal carrying business.
Then they will have to 60 into the
details of what probably is the
biggest job OF the three. Long be-
fore the end of the investigation
the decision of the rate bill will
have been reached. Then the
question arises as to what Con-
gress will do with the information
obtained at such an expenditure OF
time. money and energy Variuos
views are expressed. A good
mauy of the railroad men W h o
have so far appeared before + b e
Commission say that the Commis-
sion could have cleaned all the in
formation it got from them by
reading the annual reports of the
roads and studying the railroad
manual. They should remember OF
course that the annual reports of
the railroads are not comp lied I'M
der soath, whereas the te'tim ,ny
they give is under oath, AMI IS sup
posed to be the truth. Also it is
probable that good many things
have come out i'll the investigation
for instance Gin the Philadelphia
part of the inquiry, that the rail
roads never expected to see exploit
ed in print. There is no question
too tina. the soft coal roads have
proved conclusively by their own
agents that the same men who
owned the railroads also controlled
coal companies along the line of the

IMPROVE THE CUMBltR-
LAND.

ALI. Kentucky is profoundly In
tereeied i'll the Improvement OF the
mberland river. Tue bill now
before Congress for the betterment
Of the upper Cumberland as an art
cry Of commerce and an auxiliary
to industry should be passed.
Every Kentucky Senator and Rep
resentative should take active CON
Germ in the proposal TO make the
upper Cumberland and all year
round navigable stream. That
river stretch passes through the
counties of Adair, Cumberland,
Russell, Clinton, Wayne. Metcali
and Monroe. all in the Eleventh
Congressional district except Met
calf, which is in the Third. The
lower Cumberland, passing through
the counties of Trigg, Lyon and
Livingston, is navigable the year
round, and therefore of inestimabie
service to that section of the State.
But the upper Cumberland, navi-
gable for five months only, fails to
meet the ever-g1owing need of
the Eastern Kentucky farmer, min
er and trader. Freight has now
to be hauled in the mountain COun-
ties watered by the upper Cumber-
land, twenty and twenty FIVE miles,
lust at the season when the roads
are at their worst. The hardsllips
inf1icte ted by this condition are intol-
cradle
The mountain district of Ken
lucky deserves better from Con
gress than even the remotest out
lay of 5000, 900 asked to improve
one of its rivers could lmpart. No
section more loyal to the Union
when loyalty was needed; no sec
ton more faithful to Republican
policies and principles all the time
than the mountains of Kentucky.
But when Congressional appropria-
tions are going the ronnds freely
the grand old Eleventh somehow
seems to get the frosty hand.
Eastern Kentucky asks for nothing
save the square deal. Every dol
lar of Government money spent
there will benefit all the State, and
benefting all the State must bene-
fit the country at la1ge.-Louis-
vile Herald.

road and thus plainly violated the
ruling Of the Supreme Court in the
Chesapeake and Ohio case that 1t
was against public policy for rail-
roads to own or deal in commodi
ties they transported. 1t was also
shown in several cases where roads
were la rye coal carriers and had to
advance the price of freight oil
coal that they used themselves,
Proof was brought also that the
railroads in some cases redistticte 1
the coal regions SO that a lower
rate should be made from the coal
fields tc tide water in areas where
their mines were located than for
regions where they owned no coal
pre- perites.
What will be brought in the in
vestigation of the anthracite roads
and the oil roads Is of course a mat
ter of speculation. but probably ii
will not be very different from the
state of affairs shown to exist in the
sof; coal district. Now the ques-
ton arises what Congress will do
with all this information when it
gets it. The obvious thing would
seem to be to turn the information
over to the department of Justice
and let it prosecute in the cases
where it was shown that the Law
had been violated But Congress-
seldom does the obvious thing
Time will show what it intends to
do in this case.
