Phases Of Activity
Of llaile Gold Mine
To the Kditof of The State:
The article in The (State of May 8
-accruing gold ^ut}V ^*ro"
wttS an interesting one but there
wfts error in the statement as to the
location of the Haiie gold mine, (which
is not in the western part of the state
nor in York county but da situated in
Lancaster coproty on bynchee river
; Mar the city of Kershaw.
Benjamin Jlaile moved to Lancaster
district from Virginia when a young
jamt', having at that time only one
akve and a sm^ amount of cash.
Ho purchased a dtaall tract of land
flnd soon afterward* discovered gold
. w, this property.. He and the #lave
commenced to dig the gold and thej
mine paid large dividends for many
years of Mr. Ha He's life,
Whi'je once 200 men toiled daily in .
taking the precious metal frpm thej
oa,.t), n a onlv the casual visitor is(,
a I t 1 .* . . ,
s^,n a;..! the once busy shafts and pits
ari. f*,;;. i with water. The only aetivVv
: ;;k the monotony of the rpot
/' u years was the mining of
. .t _j i-ig the war, - the material j
Wing u c 1 by the government in the
mani fa. (me of munitions.
i r.i- war 1001 witnessed probably
the gvvt.tist disaster in the history of
the mire when a boiler explosipn killi
. Thies, who ha<l succeeded
yll 1 ' v
his father as superintendent of the
mine, and resulted in the death of
two others. The explosion proved to
he the beginning of the decline although
gold was mined to a certain
extent until about 1012.
No further operations were carried
on until the World war, when pyrite
was nvinod. The government, owing
to the fact that the supply of pyrite
from Spain was cut off. was forced to
get this mineral wherever it could.
Large trucks operated day and night
but since the mine made this contribution
toward the manufacture of
war munitions it has done no .more.
Once where an observer sslw the
homes of some 185 or 200 work-men,
including an Englishman, a German
and a family of -Swedes, he sees today
just a few empty houses. Where
?tic saw n schoolhouee a-nd* ehuirdh ho
sees only two dilapidated buildings.
What was at one time a store apd
posteffice is now a sagging frame.
The large superintendent's house,
which had every convenience of its
day, is slowly wasting rbway. The
great pits, Halbgjjpross, Bunvalo and
Beguelin?whici^were inhabited by;
men ;trd machinery now contain,
water and bits of wreckage.
Soor. after the Confederate war-the
mine was bought ,by James Eldmdge
of New York, wiho later located in
Camden and pern ted Hobkirk Inn. J
The mine, along about the '70s with
new machinery and under the superinteru?*ucy
o-f A. Thies, a full-blooded
German and faxsighted miner and
engine-en, entered upon its moat prosperous
period. Mr. Thies, according
to Dr. Stephen Taber of "the geology
depart nvent of the University of South
Carolina developed at the Hai'le mine
the chlorination process of mining
which was later used in Arizona,
Nevada, California and other Western
mines. This process, however, has
been supplanted by the cyanide process.
which is the most coimnon in
use. Tins mine since 1912 has been
abandoned and all of the building*
and equipment have fallen into diare*
pair.
The last will and testament of Benjamin
Haile, dated May 6, 1845, in
Items ft and 9 makes the following
disposition of the gold mine and some
of his other property: ?-s
"Eighth. I give and bequeath bo my
son, William Haile, all those two several
plantations or tracts of land ly:r'g
on Little Lynches creek, one of |
whw.-h was purchased by me from
Mars nail Gaines and others, containing
_> acres, also the land purcha
hy me from Benjamin Bingran
c haining 1,250 acres, also all"he
r<l purchased of Thomas Welch j
:r> K '-haw and Lancaster district J
< 'a >*. V. \ he exception of such of the
?r-li mines as are hereafter #iven to
Edward) on which the gold mime? are
situated, containing 3,606 acres, also
the ;and adjoining the above purchased
of Hugh Davidson, containing
1,085 acres, also the Hangrn$? Rock
mill tract containing 300 acres pur-,
chased at sheriff** sale- aa Mahafy
Property, aleo a tract lying both aides
of Little Lynches creek granted to '
"lywlf contadnin^ 600 acres mow or
^ 1 nl?o give to my son, William,
54 Negro slaves, aK6 one-half of" *11
^ 'took Of htwwtd, 'amies, cattle
^ ?"d Wheep which an or ***
on skbor or Mb sides <*
?
-"" * 1 v ?
my Lynches creek plantations and
also owe-half of all ttve corn, provisions
and provender which may be
remaining on either or both of my
said plantations.
"Ninth. I give and bequeath to my
sons, William and Edward jointly,
the gold mines situated in Lancaster
district on the Welch tract of land
together with all the mills and appurtenances
thereto belonging to use the
same in common with an equal right
of way, water and timber too and to
divide equally the profits ^arising
therefrom notwithstanding the lands
on which they are situated have in
another clause been given to William
generally."
It is interesting to note in this connection
that in this will the testator
makes a bequest to 12 surviving children
and to two grandchildren. The
will also indicates in what esteem
farming was held in those days, for
the testator does not refer bo himself
as a mine owner or capitalist but
says: "I, Benjamin Hnile, of the town
of Oamd?ii> state of 'South Carolina,
planter, do hereby publish and declare
this wilting bo W and contain
my last wttl and testament." '

paper last week, was submitted by

the plan but were ready to submit
themselves to the conditions of it,
which includes n surrender of their
stockholdings and a payment of fifty
per cent, of the anifrUnt of their
stockholders liability. The shares
