The pouring at the Hullo mines was a repetition of the pouring about a month ago at the Oapps mine live miles northwest of Charlotte, which was attended by a large group of Canadian officials and stockholders of the company operating the mine. The Hallo mines, which were first worked more than a hundred years ago and Intermittent operators during that time have yielded about $4,500,000 in gold, are different from the Capps mine in that they are deposit mines rather than vein mines. They are worked from the surface, while | the Capps mine la worked underground. a costlier method of operations. The Halle mines own about 4 square miles of property and already enough gold-bearing ore has been discovered to insure profitable operations for the next fifty years, Harlan H. Brodt, managing englnerr, revealed at the pouring Wednesday night. Ore being taken out of the Halle mines is worth about $ "> a ton, but since the operations are not as expensive as those of the Capps mine, where the ore is worth about $10 a ton, the mining is a profitable venture and operations now are producing about $-2,500 worth of gold a month. Contemplated increase in production, which will be brought about by in j creasing the plant facilities, should i shortly bring normal production to aboil C ,tnn> a month Mr Brndt fur 1 cast. Recently an unusually rich deposit was found on the Haile property. Tae ore, said Mr Bradt. assayed at $1" a ton. The deposit was about two feet wide and extended for a deptn of about eighteen feet, and it has not yet been determined how long the deposit. extends. Forty-dollar ore is very rich ore, and if the deposit is extensive, the mine may shortly come to be recognized as one of the great gold mines of the continent It is now regarded as the biggest in in cast of the Mississippi, the managing engineer declared Operations at the old Haile ininwere conducted by the Confederate forces during the Civil war, but the Federal forces gained possession of the mines and suspended operations They were worked again during th last century and toward the beginning of the twentieth century, but were closed down about thirty years ago A huge pit ninety feet deep and cove- ! ing geveral ac res lias been dug out ; as the ore has been recovered and ; sent through the mill, but It repn- j sents a very small part of the ore known to lie near the surface or at J considerable depths below the stir face Other valuable mineral depc-s : its To Meet With Concord The Lee County Singing Convention will meet in Its 156th session on1 Sunday, March 20. at 2 30 p m, at1 Concord Methodist Protestant church ' situated about eight miles northwest | of Bishopville.
