Silica or Kami 2J.20 “ Phosphorus 10 " Not determined .. 19.78 “ flUtff Correspondence Enquirer-Snn.J I was In Atlanta about ten days ago and whil« tier* I heard so much about Tallapoosa that I determined to take a run np there and see for «yself if all the stories I had heard about its anarvellons growth and promise of future great ness were true. Probably everybody in Georgia It bows that for years there has been asmall ham- m In IlnfUsoD county, about 66 miles west of Ab laut*, known as Tallapoosa. It was the new ftollapoosA, however, that I had heard so rnnoh talk about, and to satisfy my own curiosity 1 went to see It. It Is only three hours run from Atlanta. I reached there at four o’clock in tne afternoon. I at once engaged a carriage and took a drive over the place. I found a new to en with two handsome hotels, fifteen or twenty <*»•*, and a population of neatly fifteen hun- dad souls. Bat the Tallapoosa of to-day is only -an Infant compared to what Tallapoosa will oe within even twelve months. Already its every day growth is marvellous, and the begl ning has wot beeu reached. There are now twenty five wr thirty new houses going up, and four mills are Awpthnsy sawing lumber lor as many more. Hearty an hundred men are employed in clear eng the timber from the ground and laying ofT and marking the streets and avenues for a great It will doubtless be interesting to the subeertb- vve of the Enqttirbb-Buh to rend the br.cf histo ry of this new town. If I were able to write it as ■A waa told to me It wonld read like a novel. Among the crowd which gathers in theoffloe of «*« Tallapoosa hotsl every night, is a rather un- ftrepoMeminK looking mountaineer named Ban dy Crewe. Bandy, however, Is a diamond In the ■sooth. For a long time he worked on the Geor- glft Pacific railroad, bnt it waa hia practical 'knowledge of mineral, that promises to make him one nl Georgia's wealthy men. He had 'Wen to California and had,prospected in othur Mineral regions. It was while working on the Oecrgla Pacific that he became convinced that Were was undiscovered wealth In the mountains ■eg Hi raison oounty. He then began to prospect to those mountains, and would a. end months nt tht time in Rc&rch of evidences of the existence . wf gold and Iron. His money would give out ami he sonic he cnm|telled to give up Ills pursuit for the time being, and return to work on the Geor gia Pacific. Finally, when he ho<l thoroughly •onvlnoed himself that there was an exhaustions wapply of both gold and iron and a rich bed of mar lc near old Tallapoosa, and when the goal was almost in sight, his money gave out again. Y*ie people In the neighborhood said Sunday 'was a A»ol or that he was crazy. Handy, however, fiuooecdf'd in enlisting the interest of an old law yer in Tallapooss, who agreed to let him have fifty dollars upon the condition that he should have omvhiilf of whatever profit might be do. rived horn it* use. Sandy hud been much about Atlanta, and he t oen went to thut city aud told his story to Mr. A J. McBride, a man of consul arable moans Mr. Mo Bride listened with all in lerest, and finally decided to investigate for him self. His Invchtigution proved Handy’s story to have been the truth, and resulted in the nrgani- mtion of the Tallapoosa latnd, Mining and Muu- mfheturiug Company, with the following otfi ■wars: . President Col. G. W. Adair. Treasurer D. 1 arletmi. VasbHnnt Secretary--Jus. H. Plummer. • ^landscape and Mining Engineer Frank Hei- ► Civil Engineers H L. Davis, J. a. Nelson. DIRKCTOR& Hon. John U.

Hull, New York. -Baines P. Page, New York. D. Carle ton, Hartford, Conn. 11. C. Dean, New York. James n. Plummer, New. York. Bandy is now the prospector for this company, and I spent my second day at Tallapoosa with him, driving through the mountains, aud seeing far myself indisputable evidence that iron, gold and marble exist there in inexhaustible qnanti tk* and of the finest quality. Bandy first took me to the marble quarry where ' marble, as fine as Italian, underlies acres of ground in practically inexhaustible ■quantity. It ha* been pronounced by the state geolcgisi u* lie nearer like Italian marble thnn any he has examined, and he *ays "the strike would indi nte the continuation of the bed along the western base of Ruckboue mountain, pass ing very near the town of Tallapoosa.” This marble is believed by experts to' l>e superior in "rune respect to the marble now quarried in -Cobb and Pickens counties, and if no other re sources existed on the land there is iu this rich bed the basis for h great and thriving industry. Wc next made our way up into the mount-ait s where Sandy has made numerous ex avations in the mountain sides ami uncovered rich beds of iron ore and fine veins of gold. Of course a newspaperman can tell very little about the quality of either gold or iron, but read what Prof. McCutcheon, slate geologist has to say: “The most important geld belt of the state, reaching from Noith Carolina into Alabama, ex tends with broad expanse across the county o^ Haralson. The Holland or Cross mine on Walk er’s creek (Tallapoosa) has been worked for a number of yeais, and three hundrtd thousand dollars is reported to have been taken out by surface mihiug. Recently the works have been reopened under new auspices with ten stamps,and some rich veins have been exposed by shafts. Tbeoutcrop of gold bearing schists tend from this ooint northeasterly and are again well dis played on or near Beach creek, where a number of gold veins have been opened. The richer |»or,ion of the belt here appears to pass through K«ts 142, 143 and 171, aud is defined on the north' west by Backbone mountain, in lots ill, 112 and 104, 7th district.” T he Tallapoosa Land, Mining and Manufac- uring Company own all the gold property and mines here mentioned by Prof McCutcheon as being rich iu gold; also 100 acres adjoining the Holland or Cross mines, directly nt the north, eust, or in the direct line of the lead. A piece of gold-bearing quartz picked up at nuzxrd in the fissure where the gold vein is now being opened by this compauy, furnished, when lO-f.OO percent Note.—Tills is u good quality iron ore nni can be worked to advantage. Respeetfully submitted, J. H. Pratt. The marvelous ease and cheapness ol mining istho great recommend»tion for the iron and goldmines of this section This cheapness is reduced to a minimum by reason ot the worka ble condition of tbe ore and its proximity to toe surface, and in many instances no hoisting appa ratus will be required. In the iron ore the fact that there is so unap- preciaile a proportion of phosphorus places it iu tbe class of manganese or magnetic ores, or what is generally termed Bessemer ore. In thi -. together with its large percentage (63 per cent.) iron (metallic), lies its advantage over the Ala bama ores, the ftirnaces at Anniston and Birm ingham now preparing to haul from North Caro lina manganese ore to mix with the lower grade ore before it reaches the proper standard. This fact alone insures a rich future to the T 1* lapoosa mines, for if a f lrnaoc never was erected here, they are so much nearer to the Alabama furnaoes than the North Carolina fields that the o'dinary rules of business economy will demand that Alabama send here for her manganese ores. After seeing many points of interest in the mountains I returned to Tallapoosa and took an other view of the town. I found carpenters working in e erv part of It, and the music of the saw and the hammer came welling up from every direction. Tallapoosa is simply a delight ful place, and when 1 say that its growth prom ises to be more remarkable than even that of Birmingham, I do not exaggerate. There are many reasons why it should become a great city. What I have written above has been a disjointed aooount of what I casually observed in a da: ’■ jaunt over the town and the surrounding couu- try. 1 will try to give you a more satis factory idea of Tallapooea, what it now is, and what the Tallapoosa Land, Mining and Manufacturing Company propose to make It. The town of Tallapoosa is situated on the Piedmont rang e,64 miles from Atlanta, on tbe Georgia Pacific Railroad. This ?iange, or It may be more properly called a broad belt of elevated rolling lands, varies in altitude from a few hun dred to more than a thousand feet, and possesses oc any of the climatic characteristics of New Eng land. The atmosphere is pure and delicious, the soil fertile and verj product ve, the water eld* the temperature quite equable, and all the couu tkms of healthfullness are present in a most marked degree. The fertilitv of the soil within this belt may be estimated when reference is had to statistics in possession of the agricultural bureau of Georgia, which show the yield of va rious crops grown upon it to have been: Corn,one hundred and sixty bushels to the acre; oats, one hundred ar-d twenty bashnIs; potatoes two hun dred and seven y bushels; cotton, five ftill bales (of five hundred pounds each) to the acre; with similar results through the entire list adapted A large section of this belt is covered with forests of Georgia pine, most o' the growth being of trees from two to more than three feet in dla neter, and shooting up as straight as an arrow f>r fromseveutv-flve to one hundred anil fifty feet without a limb or a twig. Of course th'ws cun be no bettor field for the lumberman, in this or any other country. The rock/ clevn ♦lo s of the P edmout rang* 1 , wherever they can be found, but particularly from North Carlins to the southeastern terminus, abound in mine ai depnsf's »f greater or less value. Coal, genoradv bituminous is found in large quantities; no is Iron, gold, silver, copper, plumbago, graphite, kaolin, mica, uHbestos, feldspar, c irundu , «.•* .. while extensive quarries of the baft ranrblear occasionally met with, and clay of brick-making lualitinshuft been generously deposited here and hcie »n Nut lire’s providential arrangement of the material resources of this remarkable sec tion. The Tallapoosa Company owns hereahou* 6 OrC acres of 1 xml of which soul* four or five hut- dred acres have been laid out in building ! ts» wl:h streets avenue*, parks, a boulevard, e c. Most of this is timbered although inifos ol struts have been cleared entirely of trees, and from the whole plot the timber ha* been cut away s flftolently t • show tho contour of its sur face and t he general aspect of it* outlyings in a :! direct loan. The most desirable lots from present appearances, lie •he magn fioeut phi te an north oft* r, at, which threads the village b •-».-• t one, on the outer edge of th** arc thus lo.uied the hovel an l other prominent structures being located. The various avenues ex.end northerly tn straight lines tor miles, aud are crossed by streets, generally at right an gles, although lu thus laying out the city lots suitable reference has been had to the slight ele vations and depressions of surface here and there, and the results arc beautiful to the eye as well as advantageous for buildiug aud grading At a central polut, aud on a c un uauding ele vation, a site has been selected for a hotel to be erected by the Tallapoosa I^and Company, in the immediate vicinity of several bubbling springs ot clear water which have been found to possess important medicinal qualities. A beautiful lake and a ('ark of generous dimensions studded with magnificent shade trees, are among the at tractiousof this wisely telocleri hotel s te, while by u drive of a mile or so over the broad boule vard, the famous Tallapoosa Chalybeate spring is reached. It is reasonably expected that tills projected hotel and the medicinal springs in its vicinity will bp a conspicuous font lire in the fu tore of the young city. The altitude of Tallapoosa is l welve hundred feet above the sea level. The company’s town lots occupy the highest portion of the elevation, bein* fr« tn two to three hundred feet higher than the Tallapoosa river, which partially encir cles the town and drains every portion through defiles between the hills which form natural beds for sewers aud effectually facilitate the establish ment of an easy aud complete system of artif. cial drainage for the entire section. Pure and soft spring water is abundant. The soil has been shown to be exceedingly fertile. At ibis great altitude the atmosphere is always delightftilly cool in summer, however hot the sun. Th?re can be no malaria, as there are no swamps, swales or sluggish streams; and uo zymotic disease of any kind, common to the low latitudes, can possibly get a footing here. It in volves uo compromise of integrity to stale thit universal opinion is favorable to Tallapoosa as among tbe best locations in the country, north or south, in resptet at least to healthfUlness. But the great producing factor, the chief reli ance on which anticiput*ons of business and wealth and population for Tallapoosa are baaed, consists in the miueral lands by which the town '8 surrounded. They carry various ores, as be fore specifically mentioned, but the iron deposits are chiefly considered in estimating the possibil ities of mineral development here. The Talla poosa company's iron lands comprise about two thousand a res, located from five to eight miles northeast of .lie town. It was fouud oil exauiin* Ationtnmtbat little develop ucut h-d oecu * * temp ed on these properties, the work thus fur having been confined to stripping and tracim the vein, with oc-awonal cross catting todetr* mine the widvh of tbe dep rdt Surface or. * have been removed in some qn%u titles, but there has been no blasting of any ac:onot and no s' tempt to retch the rich ores which doubtless I below.

Fr »ru the surf c* ores in sight on the properties visited,we should say thaw th* Tallapoosa company h wo practical- lv an iron mountain extending for mile.H acr their teiritory, and it matters little how one measures the inn s-it is essentially iuexhaut.ti- b'e for any levy that numan agency will tae likcl; ever to make upon it. Much importance is attached to the presonc upon thin property of an immense vein of mu' ble which resembles very closely Italian imHiIo as regard* color, grain and textures Specimen.- which hav • been worked show the best of re sult* in respect to durability and surfaces which have been exposed to the elements apparent : for generations exhibi» no evidences o! disinte gration. It is understood thit the ompany ore considering a proposition which has been made by a • hiladelphlu party to open a marble qua l.v here and develop the property in the interests of a northern market. Indications are abundant in many localities unuied on the company’s land*, of tbe presence of gold In deposit beneath the beds of streams in the form of duet, in quartz obse*vible only after crushing ann assaying, in free or attached form within the seams of aluminous pe>rifhcti< ns and even in nuggets iu exceptional localities. It canno be doubted that the precious metal is here, in many places, in much more than paying quantities. The “Cross Mine” the nearest to the vlllagi of Tallapoosa, though not on this compa ny’s tract, has been worked with profitable re sults, though in a crude way, for many years. It is now owned by Major Burke of New Orleans who b about erecting expensive machinery on the proper y with the ex poet At ion of finding and following the true vein and crushing everything that pronises to yield twelve pennyweights or over to the ton. There are golt mines on this Piedmont range, all the way from the Poto.nac to the gulf, some of which have proved profitable to their owners. When His considered that Birmingham is lo. cated in a basin, and had nothiig but its low grade iron ore and its coal to give it a start; thnt Anniston, and ShefYlield, and Bessemer, snd Florence, snd Decatur, and Talladega could individually baast only of one or two special attractions of moderate imoortxnce — and yet tht se local’ties have all jumped into prominence and are now oa the high tido of prosperity, ten folding their wealth and population sometimes In a single year—it is not difficult to foresee a brilliant future for Tallapoosa. Its iron is tbe true Bessemer, coal in uulimited quantities lies practically at its very doors, it has marble equal to the Italian quarries, gold mines of great promise, magnificent lumber for building and shipping, mineral springs which rival those of Germany or our own Bara toga, a sup rb climate, perfect drainage and an abu danoe of the purest water-a oo lection of natural advantages not equalled by any other locality in the south if ft. deed by any other portion of the country or the world. With all these advantages, aud ;the best of railroad facilities, with the attention of the whole o.'untry directed thither, Tallapoosa is clearly destined to repeat in itself the best successes of the magic cities by which it is sur rounded. On the 24th. 25th, and 26th of October there is to be a great auction sale of lots at Tallapo nn. The prices have been fixed and no more and no less will be taken. The corner lots must go at $400 and inside lots at $200 An immense crowd of people from every section will attend this sale and it is confidently believed that $>00.0G0 worth of lots wilt be sold. The Piedmont exposition will have just closed and hum ire ,1s of noithern capitalists .rho have been drawn to the south to investigate its resources lor themselves will goto Tallapoosa,and it will not take a prophe to predict that many of them will invest. I do not h isiiate to advise (JoIuuTouk people to attend this sale and invest in Tallapoosa. Th « future of the town is already assured Up t* date nearly $75,000 worth of lots have been sold, and this menus a town of several thousand people. But the sale of lots does not begin m earnest until the dates mentione above, and no iuan who has money to invest can possibly be afraid of t he remarkably low prices at which they are to be offered to the public. I have no interest what ever in mislex ling the people, for I do not even own a corner lot, but I speak sincerely when I say that Tallapoosa is as sure to become one of the leading cities of Georgia at no distantd.it • I have looked over the pluce and know wheie> i I speak. The very name of the i lace is euphe- neous, and the Uherokee Indian meaning is Golden (liver. Little did they dream, when giving it this beautiful christen big, that it win to be a veritable truth, a golden river indeed: broad, deep and continuous of the mighty metal Itself, which will flow in there lor the products of her ex ha ust) ess mines of iron, gold, coj per, silver, marble and garnet The location of Tal lapoosa is everything that can be desired, sur- rounded as it is on all sides by the handsomest ■euery of river, mountain. lake, and lofty pine, deciduous forests of oak, walnut, bay and mfg- nolia All or this is in the midst of the richctt deposits of iron, gold, silver und marble. The Tallapoosa company is governed by broad gauge, liberal-minded men and many of them are well known Georgians. That they intend to make Tallapoosa a great town no one can doubt. They already have churches and school houses there, and in a short while various manufactur ing and industrial enterprises to give employ ment to the people will be in ftili blast. Four new railroads are projected, and work is nt w progressing on two of them. It will be of inter est to the people of Columbus to know that one o'Mhenew roads to pass through Tallapoosa is the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus. By tl e surveyed route of this road Tallapoosa is on’y 83 miles north of Columbus, and when the lit e completed, as it surely will be, we wil be able o ■hip both coal and iron at a much less coat th: n at present. Really, when I consider all the s;;;- roundings and all the advantages which it po • sesso*, I cannot but forcsece, in the natural or der of events, a great future for Tallapooea. Had l money to invest, I know of no better place to invest it than in this young Geo.gia town. Not even Birmingham, iu its boomiest days, offered s ich an opportunity to those in search of wea!!’ • T .ere can never be any d ei d of an epidemic at i Ta l ipoosa, and there is not a single condition , unfavorable to its becoming a gre it city Those , who are skeptical about the full truth of the i statements made in this article ohould go ard see for themselves. It will not cost much. :ir.d ! no man can foretell what the profits might be. I ! Rfad I went, although I had to stand and | look on with the feelings of envy of those who . are to reap the goldeu harve-t whieti N tture lias | held in store here for man these many centuries. W. O.
