Mining School Be
Held At Clemson
DR. CALHOUN TO DISCUSS THE
METHODS OF MINING FOR
GOLD NEXT SATURDAY—
WILL BE FREE
CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 9.—
Many persons, especially from the
Piedmont section of South Caro
lina, are expected here Saturday,
IMfey 13, to attend a one day school
bn gold mining, to be conducted by
Dr. P. H. H. Calhoun, professor of
at Clemson College. , This
probably the first school of its
ever held in this state; and is

f The morning class, which will
start at 10 o’clock, will be held in
the geology classroom, on the sec
ond floor of the library building at
ClnmnnirMtigMii will be no charges
in connection with the
Dr. Calhoun said.
The .‘following topics will be dis
cussed during the morning class:
<1) What gold is; (2) minerals mis
taken for gold; (3) occurrence of
gold; (4) mining of gold veins; (5)
prospecting for placer deposits;
(6) mining of placer deposits.
In the afternoon an old placer
mine will be visited and various
methods for working it discussed.
There will be an actual demonstra
tion during which sand will be
washed.
Many Bills Await
Solons’ Attention
Before Adjourning
The State, May 7.
While there are probably thou
sands of South Carolinians who will
contend that the general assembly,
now, it is hoped, about to adjourn
for the summer, has not accom
plished very much, citizens who
have kept daily in touch with the
legislature cannot deny but that
the lawmakers have labored.
The members have met morn
ings, nights and occasionally in the
afternoons, indeed, as W. P. Lewis,
member from Horry said, “We have
set up with South Carolina” often
until late at night.
Scores of Mils have been intro
duced and some 450 have reached
Governor Blackwood. On the sen
ate calendar tor last Friday were
155 bills and resolutions; all of
these awaited consideration. Some
had been passed by the house arid
sent over to the senate—others
were measures introduced in the
senate and not yet sent from that
body to the house. On the house
calendar last Friday there were 138
bills and resolutions—all awaiting
attention.
From these figures—450 bills sent
to the governor for his signature;
155 bills on the senate calendar and
138 on the house calendar, it can
be seen that the members have
been turning out bills in volume.
