As to New Counties.

y
ut OF the Old counties Of South
Carolina it is given the name o.
some histoTic figure whose life
has honored the State. "Cal.
houn' is an excellent name for
the county Of which St Mat
thews is tebe theseat, and there
are other than nominal argu-
uents for the organization Of
Calhoun cornty.
Should another county be
brought into being "Rutledge"
would be an excellent name for
it, and for still other counties
Leg are. Hayne," "McDufie, "
"Thompson," "-Hagood," pres
ton," Harper "Pettigru,"
"McGowan," "Gary' an d
"Gregg" would be fitting and
inspiring appellations.
When during the constitution
al convention Of 1895 it was re-
solved to organize what's now
"Saluda county," SO learned and
accomplished a statesman as the
late Col George ,. Tillmau
urged that it should be called
"Butler," not in honor of a PAL
ticular individual, but because
one of the historic families of A.
! merica that had contributed half
a dozen eminent men to the pub
lie life of the State and nation
I bad been associated with its ter
ritory for more than a century.
Col Tillman was seconded by the
late Senator Irby, but because
one If the leaders in the COnven-
ton cherished personal dis
like for one of the Butler family
the proposition was reconsider
ed after it had been adopted and
county was named fora river, a
very noble river, by the way; the
the hardest working river in
South Carolina.
1t would have been much bet
ter had "Saluda" been called
"Butler," and it would be better
if the memory of an our disting'
uished men could be preserved
by joining their names to polit'
ical divisions. Even these divis-
ions, however, are not necessari.
ly permanent. For example, one
| of the old districts of South Caro-
lima bore, We believe, the illus
trious name of "Pinckuey," and
and when it was cut up into new
districts or counties the name
was not preserved by any of the
subdivisions.
Meantime. and this is the main
pont, 4 new county should not
be formed for the purpose OF
providing a testimonial to a
mans memory, however disting-
uished he may have been. Senti'
ment should not enter into the
dismemberment of established
counties for the formation of
new divisions. That should rest
on substantial and affirmative
arguments and they should be
fully canvassed, well understood
and surely convincing. In Virgin
ia the consolidation of counties
is now a lively question in GER
tain parts of the State because
the counties find the burden of
government very heavy to bear.

and surface indications. AS yet very
little prospect work has been done on
these claims, but it is hoped that the
annual work will open the ground suf-
permanent development. High assays
have been obtained from surface rock,
and a well defined ledge runs through
the property.
Mr.. Hahn will be assisted in the
prosecution of this contract by his
brother, John, and Ed Miller. They
expect to complete the work within
two months.
Lost Chord
Tony Nelson, one of the best known
miners in the district, has been en-
gagged by Magnus Kjelsberg, general
manager and principal owner of the
Lost Chord property, to do the annual
work on that property. This is one of
the most promising groups of claims in
the district. Considerable development
work has already been done, with very
flattering results. A tunnel was run
FOR some distance, tapping the great
ledge at a depth of several hundred
feet, and from this point a winze was
sunk on the ledge, which was found to
be about thirty feet wide, and to yield
high grade milling ore all the way
across. No sensational values were en-
countered, however. Mr.. Kjelsberg had
had begun negotiations for a hoist and
for a milling plant for the property,
and some progress had been made in
this direction, when the financial cy-
struck the country, and his vast
interests in Alaska demanded his i'm
mediate personal attention, and he
dropped his Wonder property tenn
porarily and scooted for the north. It
appears that he has returned to Cali
%fornia, and intends to take up the Lost
Chord at the point where he let 90 as
soon as he can get around to it.

FROM MAZUMA HILLS

Another shipment of bullion was sent
out from the Mazuma Hills company s
mill at Mazuma last week. The bar
was brought to Lovelock in a heavily
guarded auto and was taken to the
Wells Fargo express Office and locked
up. General Manager John Harnan ac-
companied the shipment.
"The bar just brought in" said
Manager Harnan, sis worth approx
mately about $4,000 and is the product
of 100 IONS of ore, which was taken
from the upper levels of the Mazuma
Hills mine. The ore was run through
the mill, the amalgam retorted and con
verted into bullion in less than twelve
days and WI regard this as a very good
record considering all conditions. The
new mill is doing exceptionally good
work and is making a saving somewhat
better than we expected. AS soon as
the pumps for the company's workings
and the Reagan lease are installed aud
work is again resumed in the lower

They are about ready to resume
building on the Ramsey Comstock mill,
as a large amount of the lumber, ma
chinery, etc, has been hauled in from
Apache and Fort Churchill, says the
Recorder. The noise of hammer and
saw will soon be heard over that way,
and onee started steady building Will
continue until the plant is finished.
Work might have been started some
little time since, but the company deter
mined on getting everything in readi-
ness before the construction force was
put on. The big freight teams are busy
hauling in the material, and this week
has seen the greater portion of it land
ed at the mine.
A great amount of interest is taken
in the Ramsey omstock mine, both at
home and abroad. The thousands of
visitors who have been in the district
almost invariably have been shown
over that property and in such an open
and above-board manner that they must
necessarily have learned much of its
merit. One can readily realize that IN
a great many instances samples of the
ore have been ~assayed, and, this being
so, many have determined for them
selves that the rock is rich. All these
people are keeping watch of the Ram
sey-Comstock mine, and when the mill
commences grinding rock it is generally
expected that frequent and rich clean
ups will result.
One of the greatest outcroppings that
was ever seen at a mine occurs on the
Ramsey Comstock ground. There is a
great mass of rock towering above the
surface that is fairly alive with pre-
cious metal and which represents great
tonnage of itself. They will break all
of that down and put it through the
mill at a large profit. Every opening
made in the ledge at points lower In
the mine show the same rich quartz
and it assays higher in the bottom level
than it does at any point above.
The Ramsey omstoek could have
been listed among the shippers for a
number of months past had it not been
that the management decided to treat
their W ores. The steady production
of bullion, however, will more than off
set this.
Rather No. 2.
They are still hammering away on
hard quartz in the Rather No. 2 shaft
and are putting forth every effort to
get through the footwall side of the
ledge where the going should be much
better. When the footwall side is
reached the shaft will be something

Since the annual work on the Won
der View property was begun the con
tractors, Messrs. Hantschel and Webb,
have struck a ten-inch vein that will
run over 800 a ton, and it is probable
that if the strike holds out for any
considerable distance permanent devel-
opment will be continued by N. A..
darcy, the president of the company,
who is now in the district, says the
Wonder Mining News. The contractors
began the annual work a few days ago
in a shaft which had reached a depth
of thirty-nine feet when the develop
ment work was suspended last year.
The present contract requires an addi-
tional depth of from ten to fifteen feet
in the shaft, which is a large one of
about foul by eight feet. Webb and
Hentschel had worked but a few shifts
when they broke into the vein of ship
ping rock, and they are still in it.
The Wonder View is believed to be
on the Jackpot and Vulture lodges and
has always peer considered a good
property. If the present strike widens
or shows any degree of permanency
Mr.. Darcy viii continue after the re
auired annual work is completed and
the property will very likely become
one of those to get ready for the Gus
tom mill which it is believed will be in
operation here within the next six
months.
Mr.. darcy is watching very closely
the progress of work in the shaft and
is having assays made from the rock
in the vein as depth is reached.
Elsie Group
Work on the seven Elsie claims con-
trolled by Harry c. Morris, will be be-

Signal Peak.
Superintendent McIntire of the Sig
nal Peak Mining Company reports an
other strike on the company's property
this week. A Wine sunk from the
north drift on the 65 foot level of the
workings has exposed a two and a half
foot vein that goes 500. The discovery
taken in connection with the showings
before, when two feet of shipping rock
were opened up in the drift, makes
certain that the Signal Peak is destined
to be one of the big producing mines
of the district.

the shaft being carried down at the
rate of three feet a day. The pump is

enough water will be developed to run

G. c. Richards, of Berkeley, a promi-
on Thursday to look owe the mines
preliminary to putting in a mill for the
local treatment of our ores, says the
Seven Troughs District News. Mr..
Richards spent yesterday in the south
end of the district and will devote most
of next week in other portions of the
camp. In his opinion the Buckhorn,
from a milling standpoint, is the big
gest mine in the state. He is firm in
his intention to build a mill at Vernon
at once. He believes the Buckhorn
alone has sufficient ore to keep a mill
busy and with the output of adjacent
mines the mill should be a paying in
vestment from the start.
Plans for Another Mill.
The Seven Troughs district will have
a custom mill in operation by the mid
die of January next. This good news
comes as a result Of a visit to the dis
trict the past week by Samuel Harris,
a wealthy mining man of London, Eng
land; ID. c.. Demarest, a prominent
mining engineer of California and the
head of the Angels Iron Works of
Stockton, and Charles M. Lindsey, IA
well known contractor of San Francis
co. Mr.. Demarest spent some time in
the camp last spring as the guest of G.
s. Floyd, the mining broker of this
place, and was so favorably impressed
at the time with the district hat he
has been ~endeavoring ever since to get
his people to locate here. While the
main purpose of their visit was to as
certain the practicability of installing
a reduction plant for handling local
ores, the gentlemen made a thorough
of the district with a view
to acquiring interests in a mining way.
