GOLD IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
This State Produced ss5,111 Worth In
1905

From figures prepared and issued
last week by the United States geolo-
gical survey, South Carolina produced
in 1905, 4,601 ounces Of gold, equivalent
to $95,111, and Ill fine ounces OF Sill
decrease of S26,6S9 in gold and 1925 in
in silver as compared with the figures
for 1904. Two deep mines contributed
to the production, treating total or
49,493 tons of ore, with an average eX-
traction of 1872 of gold (with very lit
tie silver) per ton. No placer mines
were operated in the state, nor was
any lead, copper or zinc produced.
The southern gold belt traVerses the
state from northeast to southwest, ana
the following counties usually show
some production; Abbeville, Anderson,
Cherokee, Chesterfield, Greenville,
Greenwood, Lancaster, Laurens, Oco-
nee, Pickens, Spartanburg, Union and
York
The veins are contained in the usual
states and schists, and from several
BELTS of which the most easterly one
is, at present, the one showing the
greatest production.
The mines in Abbeville county were
closed, as were those of Spartanourg
and York. No production was report
mines, and the cyanide plant, operated
in 1904 on the latter mine, was closed
in 1905. The Brewer mine in Chester
field county was likewise idle. The
two producing gold mines Of the state
are the Halle and the Blackmon mines
in Lancaster county. The former con-
tinued it's former well-known career.
It is working on large deposit Of low
grade pyrite ore contained in fine
grained white slate, probably a Pro-
Cambian highly altered igneous rock.
The reduction plant consists Of a 60
stamp mill, with plants for amalgama-
ton, concentration and chlorination.
The Blackmon mine is developed by d
shaft 113 feet deep and is equipped
with a 20-stamp mill and plate ANAL
gamation, but no concentrators.
The production of monazite is con-
fined exclusively to- North and South
Carolina, by far the larger quantity
being obtained from the former state.
In 1905 the production (including small
quantities of zircon and columbite,)
amounted to 1,352,41S pounds, valued
at $l6390S, as compared with 745,999
zircon, columbite and gadolinite) val
ued at sS5.03S in 1904; with 6S5,000
pounds valued at s65,000 produced in
1903: with 100000 pounds valued at
$64. 100 in 1902: and with 74S,736
pounds valued at $59,262 in 1901, an
increase in 1905 of 606,419 pounds in
quantity and Of $7S,S70 in value, as
compared with 1904.

TUESDAY, MARCH 26. 1917.

WITH such tremendous amount OF
electric power available, 1t seems
strange indeed that nobody has begun
to promote trolley lines through this
section. That the lines are coming
there is no question. Anybody ought
to be able to see that, and that Is
why it is so strange that nothing has
vet been done looking to a beginning.

The disappearance by kidnapping
of Horace Marvin, Jr., of North Som
ers Point, Del, is still the source of
much interest throughout the coun-
try. Since the disappearance of the
child two or three weeks ago thou
sands of dollars have been expended
in a vain effort to find some clue to
his whereabouts. Scores of detectives
and thousands of police throughout
the United States and Canada are en-
gagged in the search. The child has
been reported found in a dozen or
more different states, in Canada, Eng
land and in Mexico. The officers most
closely connected with the search are
of the opinion that the child is held
at some place in Canada, and there
have been numerous arrests of sus-
poets in Montreal and other Canad-
ian cities, but all of these have proved
of no avail. President Roosevelt has
offered the Delaware authorities any
machinery in his power to bring the
search to a successful ending. DR..
Marvin, the father of the child is con-
tinually receiving letters from persons
claiming to have the child in posses
sion, and who are willing to turn the
child over to his father on a cOnsid-
Grafton of $1,000 or more. These Of
fers are being run down as rapidly as
possible, but as yet have availed moth
ing. When or where the search will
end is beyond conjecture.

that he intended to kill himself,

on Tuesday that he would kill him
self Wednesday morning, but the
doctor did not think he meant it.
Mrs. Mashek had commenced action
for a divorce but friends had in
duced her to go back and live with
her husband and to help raise the
four little children. There are var
ious rumors afoat as ;, to the real
cause of what happened in this
home, some blaming the husband
and others blaming the wife, at any
rate there are but very few people,
