Gold Mines.
Interesting Information about
the Haile, Brewer, Blackmon
and Other Gold Mines
in this Section.
/
Washington special in the Columbia
Record: The Southern
Appalachian gold hearing region,
emhtacinc parts of North Caiolina,
South Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia and Tennessee, bids fair
to rival before many years many
part- of the Klondike.
Ai the close (f the lev lutioiiL
nry war gold was discovered in
Cabarrus county, N. C., and
from that time on prospecting
has been carried on with con
siderable v.gor. Later on gold
was discovered in Montgomery
and Mecklenburg counties in the
same sta?e.
1 he first production I'roni the (
area under consideration came
from Lancaster an! Chesterfield
counties, in South Carolina, in
1821). and the output was valued
at $.'1,500. The best recods ot
former diggings for gold are in
the United States assay oflice at ,
Charlotte, and ii seems probable
that the total gold production ol
this sec:ion lias been about $10,- (
000,000 up to this time The i
mines in this area are anion : t lie
most important gold producer"
in i hq Caiolii a belt, and, in b>ct,
east of the Black IIills Such
mines as the Iluile. Brewer, Coilnrniprlv
llnnriol ,i*wl
v .
King's .Mountain have been
worked lor years an ! have fttrn
ished h large part ol the output
of 'lie area.
The Haile mine is situated on
Lynoh's creek, tlnee ?nd one
bait' miles nor'Invent (rVKershaw,
i
8. (and is ttie property ol tlie
Haiie Gold Mining company, of
New V. rk cily. It has been'
worked since 1 830. and the up i
per oxi?l z-??l portions of the ore J
bodies w? re oi c- rich and some .
ol tlieni yielded lumps ol gold I
wotth from $300 to $500. Up
to 1S83 the production ol tins
mine was about $1,250,000, and
since that lime u has been about j
$2,000,000. If is impossible to
estimate what amount of dividends
have be'*n declared from
this mine. ,
The Brewer mine is situated in ,
a branch of Lynch's river, in ,
Chesterfield county, S. C., about ,
four miles sou lrves' of Jefferson, .
and about ten milts from the ,
Haile mine. It is being w >rk< d ,
by tt J. Hart man, under a lease {
Irrm the DeSoto Milling com* ?
pany. This is believed tn bave '
been the lirst important producer '
in South Carolina and was in
operation before the revolution ^
ary war. No idea of the production
can he given, but it is be
lieved that several hundred
t housand dollar* have been taken ;(
from the mine. , (
