THE MINERALS IN CHEROKEE
Gold Was Planned Out on Little
Streams-Iron is Abundant in This
Section of the State.

Columbia.-State- Geologist M. W.
Twitchell of the South Carolina Uni
versity recently visited Cherokee
county and made superficial inves-
tigation of minerals. He did not go
especially for that purpose, but he
took time to visit some of the more
important places noted for minerals.
He carried away many specimens.
The first visit by geologist was
by Oscar Lieber in the fifties. The
state had his reports published with
illustrations. 1t is now out of print,
and only a few copies can be found.
He stated that within radius of 20
miles, with Limestone as a center,
nearly all the useful and valuable
minerals known could be found.
Gold had been panned out on the
little streams not far from Gaffney
for SO years before the visit Of Lieber.
About 1853 to 1856 Galena and copper
were discovered at the Cameron mine
and machinery was installed to work
the mine, it never amounted to any
thing. Iron is abundant in all that
region, and the magnetic ore is equal
to the best in the world. Steel made
from that in charcoal furnace ought
to demand a very high price from
makers of fine instruments.
Monazite was unknown in that Sec
ton so years ago, but much of it has
been gathered and shipped in the last
20 years. There is little demand for
it row.
Diamonds have never been found
in that county, but if any are ever
discovered in this state they will be
found in Lieber's circle, for the ita-
columite is there and this is generally
found where there are diamonds, but
diamonds do not always accompany
this flexible stone.
At the present time little attention
is paid to the minerals Of that Sec
ton. The Ross lime mine has not
been worked for several years. The
making of lime is the only industry
which is now carried on. Still these
minerals are there, and they may be
developed one Of these days.

THOSE MENTIONED
FOR JUST|CESH|P
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAS
A VERY IMPORTANT MATTER
TO ATTEND TO.
THE SITUATION is REVIEWED
To Elect Successor to Chief Justice
Jones-There is Much Interest
Shown in the Names That Have
Been Presented as Candidates.

Columbia.-One Of the most impor-
tant matters before the general as
sembly will be the election of the
fifth justice of the supreme court and
chief justice to take the place OF
Ira B. Jones of Lancaster, who has
resigned and announced his candidacy
for the governorship of the atste. A
number of well-known attorneys and
judges have been mentioned for the
places. The indications are that the
filling of the two positions will cause
warm fight on the floor of the Joint
assembly.
The supreme court is composed of
Ira B. Jones, chief justice, Lancaster;
Eugene B. Gary, Abbeville; C. A.
Woods, Marion and D. E. Hydrick Of
Spartanburg, associates justices. AS
sociate Justice Gary is the Oldest
member of the court in point of SER
vice.
That a campaign will be launched
for each of the associate justices to
be raised to the chief justiceship
seems highly probable. Immediately
following the announcement of the
retirement of Chief Justice Jones, the
Spartanburg friends of Associate JUS
tice Hydrick announced that cam
paign would be conducted to elevate
him to the higher place. Associate
Justice Gary several days ago stated
in an interview that he would not
seek the place through campaign
methods, but would receive the honor
if conferred by the general assembly.
There is certain to be a campaign
waged by his friends. The name of
c. A. Woods will also be presented.
All three are able jurists and it is
not thought that either will connect
the bench with politics in any manner.
