MILLIONS IN MINES
Englishmen Investigating the Wealth of
' Georgia’s Gold lines.
THEY MAT INVEST HEAVILY SOON
An A-ent N«w Here Very Enthusiastic
Thinks They Will Outrival Both the
Comstock and African Mines.
“I predict that Georgia will see with
in the next throe years the greatest min
ing fever the world has ever witnessed.
‘ ‘This state has the richest goldfield
known on the face ci the globe today.
There are mines in north Georgia which
are capable of producing $40,000,000 of
gold a year. I believe that the record of
i the Comstock in Nevada will be exceed-
* ed by some of these Georgia mines per
haps within the next two years.
“Georgia is destined to be the richest
mining state in America. ”
This sounds like the dream of some
mine owner or dealer in mineral proper
ties, does it not?
But the remarkable statements were
made by a buy< and, what makes it
more astonishing, by an Englishman.
He is over here as an expert, making a
thorough investigation of the Georgia
goldfield. Every one knows that the
English are not enthusiasts when con
sidering an investment They are on
the other extreme. We consider them
cefcd blooded. They want statistics. The
, Englishman must have figures before he
will listen to a business proposition. To
get data on the gold belt is the mission
over here of Mr. Russell Howland of
. London. For the past two months Mr.
B Howland has been in and out of Atlan-
F ta, running off a few days, coming back
' for a day or two and then off into the
mountains again. There was a mystery
( about his movements, and it was not un
til recently that his real business devel
oped. A Constitution man has had two
interviews with him. He is an expert
and has a great mind for figures. He
has made a close examination of every
foot of the state’s gold belt, and he is
satisfied that there is a great future in
mining in Georgia
It developed in these interviews that
the English prefer a gold mine as an in
-1 vestment to anything else. They are
after securing the gold mines of the
world; hence their attention to Georgia.
Within a week or two there will be
quite a party of London men over here.
If they decjde to inves' at all, they will
go in on a large scale : id will start off
with a capital of $3,000,000. They
options on some of the best lands
in the state, and it looks as though they
will buy and put up large stamp mills.
The vast fortunes made by Barney
Baxnato and his associates and others
who were not his associates in the South
African goldfields have set all Europe
V (»razy on the subject of mining. It is
F easier to raise capital for a gold mining
L company than for anything else. Lon
don usually starts these ventures and
Paris, Vienna and Berlin buy the stock
at secondhand.
I the Rand companies are paying from
[ luto 45 per cent dividend. Take the
I Robinson mines in South Africa. ' The
1 shares were originally £1 each. The
. company accumulated such a surplus
| that the stock was watered 50 for 1—
I that is, each holder cf a£l share got a
L £SO share in exchange. Now we can’t
■ buy one of these shares for less than
V £BO. There is S4OO asked for what was
L originally ass stock.
■ The ore in the Robinson m:ncs aver-
■ ages $23 pure gold to the ton. I have
I seen assays within the last week of
Georgia ores that ran up above that,
■ and the specimens of Georgia ere were
' the very poorest that could be found on
the property. Experts say that some of
these Georgia veins will produce SBOO
* pure gold to the ton, 500 feet down.
That would be about 3J£ pounds of
L gold to the ton of ore.
And this belief in the existence of
■ these rich ores prompts Mr. Howland to
I make the remarkable assertion that the
I output of the Comstock lode will be ex
ceeded here in Georgia probably within
. two years. John W. Mackay took $32,-
000,000 out of the Comstock in one year.
He would not let his miners come up,
Shut paid them big wages, sent cliam

outside world to know what he had
down there. But after taking out $150,-
000,000 the lode suddenly disappeared
and it has never been found. There is
more of it somewhere, but the moun
tains must have fallen on it
But they say there is enough gold in
one little strip in Georgia to keep three
largo companies busy for 600 years, and
by that time few of us will care whether
the mine pays out or not
The English say that the trouble with
mining in Georgia in the past has been
that it was conducted on too small a
scale. Instead of handling 20 to 40 tons
a day, they go in for handling 500 to
1,000 tons a day. And that is why they
make so much money at it kind
of small industry can manufacture as
cheaply as a large one. The English be
lieve in mining gold on a big scale, just
as ccal is mined.
Georgia’s gold belt covers from 8,000
to 5,000 square miles. The Cripple
Creek belt covers only 400 square miles,
or about as much as one Georgia county.
The cost of production out there ranges
from 2 cents for $1 in gold to 43 cents.
There is a profit in gold mining of from
47 cents to 89 cents on every dollar taken
out cf many American mines. In the
Doctor mine in Cripple Creek it costs
only 2 cents to get a dollar’s worth of
gold. Here in Georgia it is being mined
for from 20 cents to 50 cents on the dol
lar. These Englishmen expeot to get it
out for 10 cents on the dollar when they
get well under way.

there is going to be a big rush from

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
American Flour Subjected to a Landing
Charge of Eighteen Cents I’er Ton.
New York, 'April 16.—Charles C.
Bovry and John Crosby of Minneapolis,
representing the National Miller’s asso
•ciation, are in this city. They say in
spectors of London are greatly exercised
over what they hold to be a discrimina
tion against American flour. Flour
from America-enters London docks and
is subjected to a landing charge of IS
cents per ton. French flour and Ameri
can wheat escape this charge.
Parliament has said that no charge
shall be made on goods landing at these
docks, but the ship companies, it is
stated, issued to Americans millers a
bill of lading containing a clause sub
jecting flour to the 18 cents charge per
ton. In this way the miller contracts
himself out of the laws of parliament
and must pay the tax. Furthermore,
the dock companies, it is stated, propose
to increase the expense on landing ma
terial.
It has been with these facts in view
Messrs. Bovry and Crosby hav.e been in
Washington where they have repre
sented to a subcommittee of the house
ways and means committee that the
American flour project is subjected to
charges in contravention of English
law, and which thev urged may be
abated through retaliatory legislation
here.
NINE MONTHS IN BED? CURED

T. J. Blackmore, of Haller & Blackmore
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “A short time since I
procured a bottle of “Mystic Cure.” It got
me out of the house in twenty-four hours.
I took to my bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago and the “Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had
five of the best physicians in the city, but
received very little relie. from them. I
know that Mystic Cure to be what it is rep
resented and take pleasure inracomending
it to ether sufferers.”
