Mr. Sloan's paper in in< dialed In tho
whole report which hears the signature
'.?f t 'ominissloner Watson. 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. Thin State has
heen fot' many years without 1hat class
id in formation r?hout her v irier| m i ! 1 -
eral resources that would prove ot' val
ue to the Investor. These properties
have simply heen lying idle awaiting
Intelligent direction and stiff h lent eapl
tal to develop them. \Vh? 11 this depart
meat was established five month ; :i i-;t ? 1
pt once determined to ?;<eur<? this it'
formation and present it to investors
in such form as to command attention
and give them facts they wished to
know. 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

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

111**11 1 m of tin* <*1 1 3* population are rally

may he named tho manufacturers of
roail l?ti i U1 1 iijur machinery ; the makers

ami Hie moneyed men of tho citjetf who
have money Invested in the country.
These people are entering into the
work for road improvement with even
more enthusiasm ami zeal than the
farmers.
Just now the farmer* who want
better roads are brought fiwo to face
wlih a most important (ptestion. W ill
lie accept the assistance of these city
allies? Will he Welcome till' aid of
the machinery man, the capitalist, the
bicyclist und the antoniohilist V ? ?i*
will he treat them as schemers who
lire trying lv meddle with his af
fairs?
'I he answer to these questions ought
to depcTid On tvhnt these city friends
of good road*1 are proposing to do. If
the)' propose to have (lie cmiu.tr.Y
improved In order to increase their
business, and enhance their pleasures,
wholly at the expense of the farmer,
1 1 1 ? *n he should spurn the proffered
alliance. 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.
