Kershaw Gold Mine
Revived After Years
Cold mining around Kershaw is
being revived as signs of lift* arc noticoabltv
about the old Haile nunc
which has not boon worked until recently
for twenty years. While the
work w hich is going on there at tho
present tune is merely the washing
of iiift which was left by the eld
stamp null it is said U> be profitable
and ten r?u kcrvar<i heiqg used. Furtheinnne,
Sona'IW Heckham f'lyburn
is making preparations to work an
old mute on his farm which is adjacent
to the Jluiie mine. Senator
Cly burn will probably complete his
work in the state legislature this
week and then he will be free to
pursue his gold mining, .it is said
that there is much free gold on his
place.
At the old llailo mine where a
thriving community once flourished
the old place ip in ruins but there is
much gold dust about the place where
the old atamp mill stood. A ^it tie
bnanoh ilow-s by the place and pipes
from the stream flow into the rockers.
Copper plates are placed in these
rockers and quicksilver is placed on
the copper to catch the gold dust.
The dirt is rocked back ami forth and
as the gold dust is heavier than tho
nam! the dirt is gradually worked out.
Then quicksilver ami gold is packed
in hard balls which, when heated,
(Separates thy gold from the other
metal.
This old mine 'has not been worked
wince the fatal explosion which occurred
there a number of >ears ago
when a white man and a negro were
.killed. The old stamp mill is t<?rti

blue mold, for example, took heavy
toil of tobacco plant beds last year
and again this year, but it seems
that a little soda will help (materially
to control the damage. Prof. K. Y.
Floyd. North Carolina tobacco specialist,
recommends two or three
pounds per hundred square feet in
order to promote healthy, sturdy
gjowth. thus enabling the plants to
throw off the attack ot the moid organisms.
Cotton fanners have long known
how Chilean soda helps to combat the
ravages of the boll weevil by making
rapid, strong-growing young
plants that set their crop before tho
weevil is ready for it. In this respect
alone, the natural soda has
saved the south many millions of d<?lLa
rs.
Healthier growth, increased yield,
bettor quality?farmers have learned
to expect all those from Chilean nitrate.
but few probably have understood
clearly why soda side-dressings
have always proved so effective on
their cotton crop. To what extent
the vital rare elements found in soda
are responsible for these mysteries of
