Charlotte Observer, November 10:
Mr. w. d. Turner, who is engaged in
opening up the old Clawson gold mine
in York county, S. c., spent yesterday
in the city. He came here to meet Mr..
T. w. Clawson of Wilmington, one Of
the owners. The mine was first open
ed up by DR.. Clawson in 1865, and Is
located just across the state line, fif-
teen miles from Charlotte, five miles
from Pineville, and four miles from
Fort Mill. 1t gives promise Of an
abundant yield and the owners are
promoting It with the view either Of
selling 1t in toto or forming a COM
pany and disposing Of the stock. Mr..
Turner struck a vein 10 or IL feet
from the surface. which he followed
short distance and then went on down
deeper for a second and larger vein
which he is looking for. What ore has
been gotten out has assayed about
1925 to the ton. The larger vein will
likely be found this week.

vile, died last Saturday while travel
ing the road from Sharon toward
Hickory Grove. He left Sharon riding
mule and when found on the road
side some hours later he was in dy-
| ing condition. He had strength to
lift himself to a sitting position; but
died before he could be moved to more
comfortable surroundings. Coroner
Louthian was summoned to the scene;
but after consultation with responsible
people Of the neighborhood best quail
flied to appreciate the facts Of the sit
uation decided that the holding of an
inquest was unnecessary. It Is sup

fell off his mule. and death was the
result Of exposure to the cold weather
which was too much for his weakened
physical condition. The deceased was
son Of the late Nathaniel Porter
Kennedy and was about So years Of
age. He was never married.
