Mr. L. U. Campbell and other l>ar ties h3ve purchased through Judge J. FT Webster the Flint Hill gold mine, on Broad river, near Smith’s F’ord, and will begin operating the mine some time between September 1 fith and October 1st. It is the purpose of the new owners of this mine to in stall a smeiting plant made by a To ledo. Ohio, firm, called the MacDon ald hot air blast smelting system. The object in using this system in stead of the amalgamating system is to reduce free milling and sulphide ores of a low grade, of which there is a great abundance in this county. By installing this plant, the capacity of which is one hundred and fifty tons in twenty-four hours, is to give those having sulphide and free milling ores an opportunity to have their ores practically tested in large quan tities by competent parties, an« there is hut little doubt that a large and profitable commercial business can he developed. This process is in use i'> several large mining districts in iIn; West and in Mexico, where la bor expenses, fuel and water are higher and scarcer than in this sec- t ion. The object of the company which will take hold of this matter is to own and operate the F'lint Hill mine and to prove to the public that the or‘s in North and South Carolina are equal to the ores of the West and Mexico in value. When this is ac complished, which will take about twelve months, those having mineral lands containing gold, free or sul phide ores can find investors or sell their ores at this plant. Those having ores of this character and who wish to submit them in order to .ascertain their value can do so by taking large samples to Mr. L. C. Campbell, at his residence in this city, or to Judge J. E. Webster’s office, at the court house. Cherokee county has more varied minerals within its boundaries than any other county in South Carolina, .and the only reason why we have not been actively engaged in mining to a greater extent, is because the ores were not rich enough to pay under the old systems, but under this new system it is confidently expected that the mines of this section can he prof itably operated.

The musical faculty of Limestone College this session win be one of unusual strength, brilliancy and dis tinction. FTvery one of the teachers is a musician of the highest artistic ability. The new director is Prof. Harold A. Ixu-ing, a graduate of one of the most famous music schools of New England, a pupil of the celebrat ed F'aelten Brothers, and has won great distinction in his profession. He is a brilliant concert pianist and organist, and resigned a fine position in the service of the United States as supervisor of music, to accept the di rectorship of Limestone College. The new voice teacher is Miss Ed na Van Vliet Higley, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, who has a beautiful soprano voice and is also an expert violinist. She is a very experienced teacher, and had had a distinguished career. Miss Dew whose splendid abilities as a musician are well known to Gaff ney, will, of course, be with the col- lego again this year. The prospects of Limestone were never so bright as they are today. Its Tim e to "Get Busy.” A corps of surveyors representing the South and Western Railway Com pany were in Gaffney Saturday run ning a line for that company. A Led ger representative made an effort to get some information on the subject but the only satisfaction received was that the engineers were simply running the line and that they did not know whether or not Hie road would come to Gaffney. It seems to us that an opportunity is presenting itself at our doors and that it would he a capi tal piece of business for the Gaffney Commercial Club to "get busy” on tills matter.
