tiOnS,

Columbia, Sept. 29.-It is learned
that the probable report Of the COM
mission appointed at the last session
OF the general assembly to investigate
the adVisability of the States going
irto phosphate and lime mining will
be that the State do not engage in
the phosphate industry. With re-
gard to phosphate mining it is stated
the phosphate rock is too far beneath
the ocean beds and in navigable
streams to pay the State for the ex-
persive dredges that would be neces..
sary or to make it worth while in
view of the present prices of the rock
from other sections.
With regard to the lime deposits it.
is reported that one or two members
Of the commission are in favor of
putting convicts to work in mining
limestone and have the drying sheds
at the penitentiary.
The report Of the commission,
which has not yet been officially
drafted, will be presented to the leg
islature at its next session.
