The i:it 'due lion reads: "To the American Mining Congress: "At the request of your secretary, I was recently named hy the governor i> ? the State to undertake through this department of the State government, the preparation ot a paper dealing with the mineral resources of the State, viewed from the standpoint of their v t* 1 > > <- :-;::r.:r.rr. ia!!;. No attention, therefore, has heen given t<k various mineral resources that are not of suffi < ('lit coin mercia I value to warrant sue c( Hsftil development.

A hasty study of the mining statistics of the State showed an utter laelt 'of development, there being only f.S mines, quarries ami welts operated In the State employing only 2.?i!*l earners, and showing only $ 1 .8^1 ? .1-14 as tho value of the produce placed upon I he market, of which in P.tn.'I was in gold and $11. > in silver, not withstanding the Stale possesses min ing properties that should produce many times that amount. "I soon found that a portion ot tho South Carolina gold production was being credited to neighboring States. "Knowing the value of mftny of the undeveloped mineral properties in tho State. I had already determined to ? arefully prepare just such a paper as you requested in your secretary s let ter of May t to the governor. Conse quently I have endeavored to give you information. prepared v.lth greater rare than was originally intended, and dt once I Invoked the aid of our very competent State geologist, who has furnished me over his s'gnatuie tho resume of our mineral resources incot po rated In this paper. Ah to the properties incorporated in the treaties of the geologist 1 will say that it is the business of this depart ment to push their development as far f is possible. The department will en deavor to show Inquiring investors over the properties, offering, with his con sent, the further aid of the State geol ogist when his services are needed.. The department will also endeavor to secure such properties as may bo wanted at the lowest possible prices and upon the best terms for investors, when the proposition Is coupled with the assurance of the purchaser that ho intends to immediately develop the property, and there is an absence of a purpose to make the transaction merely for speculative purpose* Among tho porperties now listed wltn the department. Is the. Mary 1 oppei mine referred to below. "Having had considerable expev it nee with development matters 1 do not hesitate to say that 1 feel that there is n fine opportunity tor those who undertake the development ot the excellent mineral resources ?>f South Carolina, particularly in view ot the fact that the field Is practically a virgin one and unexplored almost, and In view of the further fact that these properties are so well located as to railroad and water transporta tion. being almost in the suburbs of the eastern markets ami seaports. An extract from Mr. Sloans papei ib alintr with iron follows: " Numerous deposits <<f iron an* in this Sj^ite. occurring in formations j lunging from the tertiary to the'silu-j vinn, but up to the present time nono ? have been noted of modem industrial I importanee excepting in the King's' mountain district. (>tn- zone, begin J ning north of King's mountain, extends ( south westerdly through Cherokee and j parts of Spartanburg and I'nlon eoun- j ties, and comprises magnet ic and spec- i ular ores bedded in taleose schists or ! shales ami in the itaeolnmitie rocks, i These beds were worked to great Hd vantage when charcoal was available, j prior to lN?(f>. The magnetic ore. or j Catawberite afforded a peculiarly su- ! perlor iron, dose grain and soft, yet j tough, which was intensively employed : in the manufacture of the Cout'ed< tiafe erdinance. Pnrnaccs and roller mills were operated for thi.< purpose adja cent to the Cherokee ford on the liread liver. Specular ore was also employed in mixtures and alone for the pro duction of superior pig metal for cast- . ings. The red ore or Ilawberite i . a low grade arenaceous magnetic, which also affords good pig metal for ? act ings. "The Catawberite or magnetic etc In tfiirose schist, appears Intermittently for nine mlleb, crossing the Broa?l river mar Cherokee ford, five r(\i)es cast of CaCfncy, nnd half a mile rurth of a spur track of tho $3ut!ie::i raihvav. ; It consists of lenticular bodlew of m-g netite crowded in talrose schist, pitch ed at high angles, attaining plarcs the width of 40 feet, and extending to depths as yet undermined. TUo *o*ted ? ore In large lots excccJs 50 per cent, rf metallle iron, and Is free from oh- j jcctlonahlo association excepting in the , matter of the magnesian gangue which ! adds somewhat to the difficult ic3 of . fluxing.

If, on the contrary, they are proposing, through .State and National taxation, to lift n large part of the burden off the farmer and place It cm the taxpayers of the cities, he ought to hid them welcome, and extend the ylad hand. This Is a II Ve question tor the farmer to consider and answer. Already tin; opponents of State and National aid are at work trying to sow seeds id' suspicion in the tniudw of the farmers, and they will do their best to prevent any co-operation between the country and city friends of good roads. As a matte rof fact, Slate and Na tional aid offer the only hope of gen eral road improvement, and such aid can never be secured if the city people array themselves against it. Unless the fanners are wholly blind to their own interests, they will welcome aid from any and every ?oure,e, and will make every olfoi't to secure the pow erful aid Vf the State and Federal Governments. l>c|?oii?l.i on ilio Fftrnirr*. The candid and unprejudiced opinion of a public man yn a question concern ing which he is well qualified to speak is nearly always of interest. Such an opinion concerning the prospect for National Highw/iy legislation was re cently M'cured from u gentleman who Is a close observer of mon wnd eveuts, and who has spent many years at the National Capital, lie Bald: I have watched the growth of the so-called "good roads movement" with much interest, and especially since Colonel Brownlow Introduced Into Con gress his bill providing that tho Gov ernment should pay half the expense of Improving the roads. As regards the prospect of such a measure ever becoming a law, I will suy that It all depends on the farmers. If the agri cultural classes go to work lrt earnest for Government aid, they will get it; if they do not. Congress will never en act such a law. In Government af fairs, as in most other affairs, I have noticed that the people who go after things are tho people who get them. The farmers as a class receive com paratively little serious consideration from Congress pimply because they don't demand it. Kvery Congress now appropriates more than a billion dol lars, hut how much of this is spent in the rural districts? Almost nothing. .Millions are spent for public building* in cities; millions for improvement of rivers and harbors; millions for the army and navy; millions for the Gov ernment at Washington, etc. Occa sionally a few thousand dollars go for something that directly benefits tho farmers, but that Is all. Of coyi'so there isn't" as much chance to give tho I ai mers direct benefits from tho spend ing of public money. But national aid io road improvement furnishes an ideal opportunity. It would even up things to some extent. It would cer tainly be a big thing for the rural dis tricts. Tho money spent would of course make good times; but the main hem tit would come from the Improve ment of the roads. It. would increase the value of farm lands; It would en able the farmers to market tlieir crops to bftter advantage; it would piako farm life better worth living. In fact it would be a great permanent bene lit. ? If any other class of our population l.sri such an opportunity to enjoy tho fostering care and aid of the Govern ment, how they would work for it. They would gtvo (heir Senators and Representatives no rest. lint tho far mers ,-is a class move more deliberate ly. They take time to look Into the whys and wherefores, and to consider all objections. So far as I am able to learn, the farmers are taking up this (ptestion seriously aud in time will make their influence most powerfully l'elt. I think Congress \jil be ready to enact a national law whenever thero i* a general demand for It from tho farmers of all sections.
