Mineral Resources Are Many
and Varied
MINED MANY YEARS
Surpass Any Other State in the
Union in Number of Its Mineral
Species.

That part of the Carolinas which
Ridge, in what is known as the Pied
mont region, has long been of both
scientific and commercial Importance,
largely on account Of the variety ana
abundance of it's minerals. In fact,
in the number Of its mineral species
North Carolina is said to surpass any
other State in the Union, and a great
variety Of minerals has been found in
South Carolina.
Mining ia this region dates bacn be-
fore the time Of the settling of Amer
lea, and early Spanish and English
accounts of the discovery and recov-
cry of metals are numerous. The prin-
cipal mineral resource is gold. Iron
has been mined to a considerable eX-
tent, and within recent years the
monazite industry has attained some
importance. Besides these materials,
tin, copper, lead, manganese, pyrlte,
mica, barite, c~orundum, clay, lime
stone, and granite are or have been
found and worked to some extent.
Discovery of Tin.
The story Of the first authentic dis
covery of tin in the Carolinas is in
teresting. While a student at the
Kings Mountain high school in 1881,
Robert T. Claywell found in a street
Of the town a number Of pieces Of a
heavy dark-colored mineral. Although
he was an amateur student OF miner
alogy at that time. he was unable to
identify his mineral. but he added it
to his collection, where it remained
unidentified for some time. This
specimen was turned over two years
later to Col. S. Med. Tate, who was
making a collection of North Caro-
! lima minerals for the American Expo
| sition at Boston. 1t IS said that Col.
Tate before sending this specimen to
Boston labeled it Tin"
The news Of the discovery OF tin
sOon spread in Kings and
throughout the country. Everyone in
| the town, men, women and children.
began to hunt for tin. All over the
| eastern part Of the town they found
crystals of cassiterite, which they sold
! as curios at 5 or 10 cents each. a
number of companies were suisse
uently formed for the mining of tin.
but tin mining in the Carolinas has
| been marked by q succession Of fail
ures ever since the discovery of Cassi-
terite in 1881.

1t is more than likely that you

III his room at school call him,
and that must suffice for you.
Buster is just one of the hun

now. The time is growing mighty
short-every gift intended to be

No odds whether your gift to
these little boys and girls is but
a ten-cent doll or a nickel bag

will bring bit of Christmas hap
piness to the heart of some for
lOrn unhappy yOungster whom
Santa Claus might overlook if it
were not for you, Big Brothers
