V .'OUTH CAROLINA RESOURCES Annual Report of State Geologist VariedMineral Wealth Being Explored-Valuable New Finds. Mr. Earle Sloan. state geologist, has filed with the governor his re port for the year 1904. The report is technical in its nature but contains much interesting matter. Two months were devoted to the exploration of territory adjacent to certain coastal rivers not heretofore fully treated. "There in connection with interest ing deposits of economic value." writes Mr. Sloan. "I discovered two formations. the equivalents of which have been recognized in but few lo calities in the United States.' These are marls. one of the oligocene pe'riod and the cocene pcriod. The former is on the Savannah river and the latter on the Black at its confl-uence with the Black Mingo. "The most promising work, how ever," writes Mr. Sloan. "consisted in the discovery of phosp1hate rock in the form of phosphatized marl, torn from the bed of the ocean by the waves and stranded along the beach of Horry county."' He spys that this shows 57 per cent. of calcic potash and the bowlders are large. He thinks there are la-ge quantities on the narrow strip of land between the Waccamaw river and the ocean, northeast of Conway. In this same region he :'ound a compact, peaty formation about 28 inches thick which contains a little more than 3 per cent. of ammonia. "If expected developments disclose this peat in good quantity, it should afford a valuable neighborhood ferti lizer, representing an ammonia value of $7.50 per ton. in addition it would be a humus for sandy soils." Mr. Sloan continues Ibt from July to December his field work had been confined to Piedmont counties along a more or less consistent geo logical zone-Oconee, Anderson, Pickens, Abbeville, Laurens, Union, Spartanburg, Cherokee, York and a part of Greenville. He studied the highly important tin deposits of Cher okee county, which, he says, "consti tutes the most valuable tin area yet discovered in the United States." He found heretofore unnoted localities where there are valuable formations of limestone, marble and feldspar. There has been marked increase of interest in the gold mining industry and*the following are now active pro ducers: H-aile of Lancaster: Brewer of ChesterneXd: Ferguson of York: Ophir of Union: Schleeitch of York: Magnolia of York: and the Calais and I )hog!ga<s of .\hbeville. wvill soon be started i:p. M\r. Sl an state': that a cyanide p)lant was star:ed at one of the York mines and has de mons:ratedl its cap)acity to treat goodl sulphurets, This will stimulate the development of a number of p)roper ties in the Piedmont which heretofore have resisted successful treatment. While examining the formations in the Piedmont country he studied -other extensive deposits of mineral ores, such as monazite, zircon, corun dum, asbestos, graphite, mica. abrasine garnet, superior iron ores. pyries, manganese, barytes, clays and struc tural stone, all of which will be dig cussed in' a volume nearly ready for the press; "A catalogue of the min eral localities of South Carolina." He declares that great interest has been manifested in the monagraph on' the clays of South Carolina. a pub lication presented to the legislature last year. Mr. Sloan explains that there is not time for him to make quantitative an alyses o.f minerals submitted by in dividuals although he does so when ever the requests come from the par ticuilar zone in which he is working. He has no assistance other state geologists have. Mr. Sloan explains that he was called into consultation by the legislative committee appoint ed to consider the advisability of es tablishing in this state a phosphate mining and fertilizer manufacturing industry with the use of convict labor. Mr. Sloan states that he was unable to go into the matter thoroughly as the committee was given too little time. He recalls the fact that when called upon he urged the state phosphate commission not to reduce the royalty on phosphate rock. The beds in this state will serve as a menace against extortinate prices on fertilizers and Horses,1 The best the State. F ceived. Pric Quat" ( when the phosphate rock in other states is used up then "the strength of this state's poseS,ions will come into full fruition." He acknowledges wi:h pleasure the ass;stance given by the chemical lab oratory at Clemson, and to the Smith sonian Institute for occasional field assistance. It is expected that the United States geological survey will co-operate during the year 1905 in the work of stream measurements. The report as a whole should be read by every member of the legisla ture for it is full of an atmosphere of hope for the future and shows that South Carolina's hills are not entirely barren.
