Gold Scattered Over the Streets Of
jefferson

Mr.. L. e. Gardner in writing to tn,
Jeffersonian gives the following inter
esting account Of gold mining projects
near Jefferson:
Tbs gold mine was discovered by
Burwell Brewer, nearly one hundred
years ago. Mr.. Brewer, and his assis
tnats got their gold by using log rock
- and sluice boxes. but in later year.
northern company got in possession
Of the mine and made their gold by
the hydraul ic process. They were
very successful, SO much so, that the,
decided to work the mine on q larger
scale. In 1889 the company built q
40 stamp mill down to the foot of the
ry OH top Of the hill and blasted out
hill, Oh Fork Creek and opened a qua
the ore and it was conveyed to the mill
Oh a train Of cars through a tunnel
1900 feet long. The stamp mill was
put in operation April 1890. The out
put of gold for the first month, was
15lbs. The mill didn't run many years
before the hard pounded, or. and poi
sonuos gases ami chemicals used ut
the mill began to damage farm lands
along the creek ke',.w the minc.
The landowners sued the company
for damages and the mill wwas shut
down. The mine has not been worked
since except on a small sca:'e, The
Northern company sold the mile tract
to Mr.. Bill U. Clyburn, of Kersaw a
few years ago. Mr.. Clyburn is the Pre-
sent owner. He has considerable farm,
ing done on the place, but no gold min
ing.
l believe this is one Of the richest
gold miens South Carolina. All that
is needed Is money, necessary machine
ry, and plenty Of will power to make
the Clyburn mine paying proposition.
I am not an expert at gold Mining.
but I've been ppOspector for several
years. I use pan and pick for my
outfit and find some gold on every
tract Of land in this neighborhOOd. In
reference to last weeks issuee Of the
JeffrsOnian. see that my name Is
mentioned as successful prospector
in John Miller's gold mine. Now
wish to make some explanations.
is Q fact that a darkey named John
Miller, does own several loots near
tAe foot ofBrswer mine hill, and I
,tnmn.pnnnaikasla dirt from an old
road, crossing his land and the gold
shows up good. I've tried it several
times and the prospects for gold is en-
couraging. I believe John Miller has
a rich mine over there, and I believe
will pay to work tn place. There are
several places near eJfferson, that is
rich in gold dposits, and should be
worked.
