HAMILTON MINE
 NOT SILVER MINE
c. R. Montgomery Gives Interesting Version of the Traditions That Have Come Down Thru the Years
 The Old Story

For many years the lore of the Mena mining field has been enriched by interesting tales concerning the lost Hamilton mine, and efforts made to find it. According to traditions that have passed down thru the years, the Hamilton mine was veritaDle Ei- dorndo cf hidden wealth, but had been Iost thru the death of it's original dis- .averer. For nearly century men have sought to find this lost mine of ehe hills but none havU succeeded, and st is probable it is best that the secret remain undiscovered if the conclusions reached by c. R. Montgomery of Mena are correct.
 Mir. Montgomery is one of the new corners to the Mena mining field com uared to some of those who have been pecking away at the rock ribbed hills in the past, but he is rated as one of the best informed of any of the min eralogists who ever visited this sec- tion.
 The Hamilton mine has always been Aelieved to have contained silver and at was this form of metallic wealth that was expected should the lost mine ever be rediscovered. But Mir. Montgomery comes forward with a statement the mine did not contain silver but antimony, and that the or iginal miners of the white metal were deceived as to the kind of mineral they were getting out of the ground. In proof of his assertions MT. Mont gomery calls attention to the deposits of antimony to be found along the Cossatot river and the caches of min erel evidently made by those who thought they were hiding silver. The Mena mineralogist says that the two minerals are so much alike in their or iginal state as to readily deceive one not an expert.
 If the conclusions reached by MT. Montgomery are correct, there is lit tie to be gained in re-discoverng the lost Hamilton mine, for while anti mony was once valuable, it has little commercial worth at the present time.
 The old, old story is to the effect the Hamilton mine was located many years ago in the southern part of Mena mining field, by an adventurer and prospector known by the name of Hamilton. He is reputed to have taken large amount of mineral out of the mine and disposed of it at New Orleans. On one of his trips to the southern city Hamilton was taken sick and died On his deathbed Hamilton is said to have left map showing the location of his mine and this falling into the hands of those who desired the wealth he was supposed to have found, was the beginning of search that has continued for more than half a century without success.

The people Of Columbia did not
promise this road to the Dutch Fork
citizens, but they are getting it.
: 1t must be very evident to every
ope living in Richland county that a
new bridge is sadly needed in the
place of the one which now connects
Brooklaud with Columbia If the
people of the Brookland area vote to
come into Richland county we will
have every right to expect that in
the very near future the people of
leichland county will build new
bridge in the place of the old one.
Not only do we need a new bridge
across the river, but we need q first
class and up TO date bridge, large
enough for a double track streetcar +
track, two ample foot walks. as well
as two drive ways. That this bridge
is badly and sadly needed, no one will
deny. and judging the people of Rich
land county by the past, 1 do not
we will get such bridge as 1 have
outlined above.
While making my. investigation,
about the various propositions in con-
nection with the annexation heard
that there was a movement on foot to
create a new county and make Bates
burg the county seat. l wonder If
this move on the part OF the people
OF the Leesville and Batesburg dis
trict has anything to do with their
obJectnig to the people of the Brook

1 also find that although the people
of Columbia are very anxious for us
to join Richland county, still at the

made promises as to what they are
going to do for US, when we get in.

county being $1,000 per acre. I won
der how Lexington county's assess
ment compares with this.
In reply to the Senator's article in
reference to land returned at $4,000
per acre. I find upon investigation that
the only land returned at $4,000 in
Richfand county. is, land that adjoins
the city of Columbia, that has been di-
5vided into front foot lots and sold and
buildings erected thereon.
Upon further investigation I find
that none Of the money realized from
the sale of road bonds can be spent
inside the incorporate limits of the
city OF Columbia, all OF this money
has to be spent in the rurar districts,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
people of the Columbia township pay
three-fourths of the bond issue.
A great many of the people who
live in, Brookland work in Columbia.
A great many of these good people are
not fortunate enough to own land, but
still they have to pay road tax. I
was very much surprised upon investi-
cation to find that the road tax in
Richland county is only dollar per
year. whereas the road tax in Lex
ington county is five dollars per year.
Think of it, If we were residents of

of us. would save $500 per year. per

much pleased to find upon investiga-
ton that each and every school teach
er in Richland county last year was
paid their salary in full, each month.
Not a single teacher. either male or
female, white or colored, had to wait
on their money. Can Lexington
connty say as much? Is it not a fact
that even today there are quite a
number of school teachers in Lexing-
ton county, who have not had their
salaries paid for last sessions work /?
AT the present time Richland
county has four complete chaingangs
working county roads. This is in ex-
cess Of the work that is being done
by the Richland County Highway
Commission and the State Highway
Commission. 1 do not think there is
any doubt. but what If we voted into
