GOLD IN THE SOUTH
Sulpbretted Ores Made Profitable By the
Chlorination Process.
ROMANS ARE INTERESTED IN THIS
Vary Fair and Correct Statement Pub'.t'bed
lu Kew York Pott—Rich nets ut
Some of the Mines.
The gold mines of the sonth are at
tracting a great deal more attention to
day than ever before.
The great trouble in working them
profitably has been with the sulphu
retted ores. In former years it bus
seemed impossible to save much of the
gold.
At the Royal gold mine near Talla
poosa, Ga., a big chlorination plant for
treating the sulphuretted ores is in op
eration about forty tons per day being
worked. Tne clean up for the last ten
days in August produced a gold brick
valued at $1,700 which has been on ex
hibition in Chattanooga.
In Cleburne and Randolph counties
where a number of Romans are inter
ested there have been some rich finds,
and considerable excitement. Col. C.
M. Harper has been at Arbacoochee foi
nearly two months looking after hie
properties in that section. The work
men in prospecting have discovered
some rich speciments. Recently in a
clean up a number of nuggets valued
as high as $lO were found. A Nash
ville correspondent of the New York
Evening Post gives this very fair and
correct statement about southern gold
mines:
Many men are quietly prospecting for
and mining geld in the Appalachian
mountains in Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and
Virginia. The old gold belt of the
south extends from Virginia southwest
to Alabama, a distance of 500 miles,
with a width of 50 miles. The metal
is almost pure gold, running from 90 to
96 per cent. Nuggets of 400 penny
weight, worth nearly a dollar a peny
weight, have been frequently found.
The ores of this belt carry silver in
amounts irom three to twenty ounces
to the ton, and in some districts the
silver will pay the expense of mining.
The gold belt usually includes four vaius
running practically parallel, and vary
ing in width from two to twenty feet.
There are true fissure veins in Polk
county, Tenn., and in Georgia.
Two reasons are assigned for ihe de
cline of mining in the south before the
war. The California fever drew thou
sands of miners from Georgia to the
West, and the best skill was drawn
away. Then the difficulty found in
treating the sulphuretted ores handi
capped the miners for years, and it was
developed cheaply that mining could be
prosecuted with profit. In the south
there is no such thing as staking a
claim; hence prospecting and develop
ing are very different from what they
are in the west. The mineral rights
must be leased or bought before mining
can be carried on. In most instances
the owners of mineral property have
not the capitrl with which to develop
and therefore cannot go to capitalists
and show what they really possess.
The gold of the Appalachian moun
tains lies in narrow belts, running
northeast and southwest, in the geo
logical formation known as the crystal
line belt. Lumpkin is the most widely
known mining town, because the old
mint was located there. The principal
mines in Lumpkin are the Ivy, the
Fishtrap, Singleton, Lockhart, Bast,
Findlay, Hedwig, Hand, Barlow, Ya
hoola, Preacher, Murry, Ralston, Cal
houn, Turkey Hill, Garnet, Battle
Branch Betz and the Josephine.
The Creighton is the most famous
mine of them all, and the deepest. Ore
is now being taken out ata depth of 500
feet, and tbe mine is making $5.50 a ton
net on the ore. Forty tons are handled
daily. Mr. A. French of Pittsburgowns
this mine. A Boston syndicate with a
capital of $.300,000 put up a ten stamp
mill last spring near Villa Rica, at the
old Clopten mine, and the property is
paying well. A London company is at
work in the same territory, and its ore
averages $57 a ton. A Tennessee com
pauy, capitalized at $1,000,000. is the
largest one in the field, operating eigh
teen mines, and tbe profits are very

This ore averages $lB a ton, with some
assays as high as $l5B. The Bulord

a good paying quality of ore. ranging
from $5 to SIOO.
Mrs. Belknap Smith has the most
unique mine. She has made a great
deal of money in McDuffie county, min
ing a hard quartz ore, containing free
gold and auriferous sulphides, using a
fine stamp mill with copper plates
coated with mercury to save the gold.
The sulphides go off as tailings into the
river, and experts think more gold is
lost in the tailings than is saved on the
plates. Before the war Mrs. Johnson
worked 500 slaves in her mine, and
$600,000 was credited to her at the mint.
The great curse of gold mining in the
south has been the experiments of com-,
panics with no capital. The practice
of freezing out small stockholders has
also hurt the work. Thelimit to which
placer mining may be worked is too
soon reached and the value of the mines
is too uncertain to make them subjects
for large investments. It is significant
that no gold vein has ever been mined
out in the south, mining having in
variably ceased when the sulphides be
came so stubborn as to make mining,by
the old method unprofitable.
The climate is such that gold mining
is carried on night and day all the
year round, and there are scores of
weak-lunged men frem the north and
east working in the mines for their
health.

Sullivan was iu town very drunk and
armed with a pistol and possessing an
idea that J. W. Payne, postmaster, was
going to kill him; After the 10 o’clock
mail was opened Payne was standing
talking to a party in frout of the post
office, when Sullivan, who was just
across the railroad track coucealed be
hind some cars, fired upon him.
Payue seized an old musket which
was iu his office and iu earnest but vain
efforts tried to shoot Sullivan. The
nrusket would not fire. Sullivan con
tinued firing until his pistol was empty,
then went home for a Winchester, and
his wife, who on such occasion’s is
rather belligerent. Ou . their return
Payne aud his wife were dodging about
their home and searching for more
weapons.
Frienns prevented the contact of these
irate parties and Sullivan was carried
home to bed. Considering that he is u
bad man when iu these moods, that two
wives are interested in the fray air.
that much malice is implied, there is a
fear ns to wnut may follow. Why Sul
