IT IS COMING,
The Augusta & Chattanooga Bail
road Headine this wa v .—Col.
J. E. Redwioe makes a Re
conDoissanoe of the road.
-*
Col. John E. Red wine of Gains
ville spent last Monday night in
Ellijay In the interest of the Au
gusta and Chattanooga railroad.
The road has employed the-
Colonel to mike a reconnoissance
of the general direction, to make
a cursory examination ol the best
possible route from Gainesville to
Cbaltanoogi. He left Gainsyiile
last week and came the probable
line of the road to diverging point
of the two proposed routes b.v
Jasper, and this place. He then
struck in at the head ol the left
prong of Long Swamp creek, fol
lowed it to the junction, came up
the right prong to the old marble
works and out at the head waters
of Talking Rock creek, leaving
Jasper In the left and intersecting
the M. & N. G. road about four
miles from Jasper towards Talk
ing Rock elation. Ho proceeded
to Murray county, locating the
route from Talking K ick factory
up a small stream to Redmond’s
Gap, and down a little stream to
Carters. He was well pleased
with Murray county, with her cit
izens and her magnificent farm?.
He lias been in every county in
Georgia except eight, and Murray
was one of them. They want a
railroad over there and they don’t
make any secret of it either.
Captain Ramsey, Mr. McEnlire,
and others, piloted him Ihrjugh
the Fields Gap where they were
joined by Mr. Vest Worley ol
Gilmer county. He gave the gap
a pretty cloae examination, the
Approaches both ways, and pro
nounoed it decidedly a practica
ble way for the A &C. He ar
med here Monday night and left
Tuesday morning in company
with Messrs. Levi Greer and J. dm
P. Perry for Amicalola Gap and
Dawson county.
The line indicated by his flying
survey is subject to any change
by subsequent investigation, but
be thought this way fully as
practicable as the Pickens route
with difference in distance, it any,
in our favor, lie will recommend
in his report to the authorities
that both routes be surveyed and
let the actual measurement de
termine the way. The way out
from Ellijay to Amicalola dan is
an unobstructed way, the gap will
be no impediment, it is perlectly
accessible.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
He stated to a Courier repre
sentative that two corps of engi
neers are rapidly setting the final
•takes for the grade to Uaines-
Ville—one coming north from Ati
gueta, the other going south, and
will probably meet at or near
Harmony Grove. The directors
are hurrying sp the corps and
seem impatient. So soon as that
is done, 1.000 hands will be set to
work and the rond rapidly pushed
to Gainesville, and the track will
follow the grade closely. They
have money already to reach that
point when bonds on Ike road
will be issued to complete it to
Chattanooga. They intend push
taut it through without halt; the
soad is coming; it will be built—
that is a settled fact, the question
now m, by what place will it go !
Col. Bed wine said the corps
would start from Gainesville the
Mtb on the survey, and will go
by Ellijay through to Chattanoo
ga when they will return to Mur
ray aad survey back the Pickens
county route to the diverging
point this side of Gainesville, lie
will accompany the engineers.
The Colonel’s trip with us was
brief but very important, and he
gave us much information and
points of interest concerning this
gigantic enterprise, on the loca
tion of which depends the ulti
mate advancement of Gilmer
county.
President Cleveland will visit
the Piedmont Fair in Atlanta
sometime in October. Thousands
of people will visit the fair just to
see the President. The South
will give him such a welcome as
®o man has enjoyed in a quarter
of • century.

GEOftOIA’B MINERALS.
What a Maa wha baa Investigated
the Matter, has to say of Berth
Georgia’! hidden Wealth.—A
Huce Quantity of Iron Ore
Marble, gold, etc,.
Mr. K W. Walker of Blue Ridge ;
who has spent a great deal ot j
lime in prospecting for minerals
m north Geotgia, was iu the city
yesterday
'‘North Georgia is a great coun
try,” he said. “I have examined
both Alabama and Georgia, and
I pronounce the iron ore in north
Georgia superior in
QUANTITY AND QUALITY
to that of Alabama. Tliere is
more of it and it is better. It will
surprise any man in the world to
go through north Georgia and
see what it there.”
‘ What counties have you pros
pected in ?”
‘T have been up the line of the
Marietta and North Georgia rail
road prospecting in Cherokee,
Pickens, Gilmer, and Fannin
counties. Along the line of the
road can be found immense de
posits of iron, manganese, marble
and slate. Toe road runs for fifty
miles through an iron belt where
there is plenty of lime rock, water
and timber. In lormer years the
iron beds were worked with loiges
and trip hammers, and the iron
proved to be of remarkably fine
quality. Some of the manganese
veins are forty feel wide.”
THE MARBLE BEDS.
"There is plenty ol marble up
(here ?”
"Marble can be found on nearly
every mile ol the road from Jas
per to the North Carolina line.”
"Whal is the road doing now?’
"The Marietta and North Geor
gia has been completed to the
North Carolina line, and daily
trains are going over Hie road.
From Blue liitlge,a thriving iitHe
town, the road will build a branch
lo Ducktowii, Tenn , this summer.
Tliey will also build from the
state line to Murphv, N. C., and
connect with the Western North
Carolina.”
"Is there any boom up that
way?”
"There is considerable excite
ment about minerals. Several
companies are engaged in getting
mineral options on properly and
ihere is a boom which bids fair lo
develop into something substan
tial. Mr. George 11. Eager is en
gaged in getting up mineral op
tions on Fannin county lands and
is finding that county
VKUY KICK IN MA3NISTIC ORBS.
I saw a crowd of northern capital
ists up Hie Marietta and North
Georgia road a Tew days ago.
They were lnveshgating with a
view to purchasing and are up
there yet.”
"How did you happen to go up
there?”
"I went prospecting for gold
aud while i found a quantity of il,
it was too much scattered to pay
for working. I spent about loin
months running the Micon gold
mine, a mile and a halt from
Cherokee county. It is good
property but the machinery used
was not sufficient to save Hie gold
aud I had to give il up. Tliere is
gold mining up there, however,
that pays. The celebrated
WHITKPATH GOLD MINKS
have been worked for a number
of years aud a great deal of gold
has been taken <>ut. A tine gold
mine has been discovered on
Carlecay creek, and the ores yield
better than anything ever found
in north Georgia before. It is jusl
above Ellijay.”
‘ Has any silver been lound?”
"There is a silver mine up there
called the L“gal Tender. They
have dug a tunnel 800 feet deep,
and they have found galena ore
and carbonate of silver ore and
other ores. The vein of galena is
200 feet wide and the carbonate
or silver vein is 100 feet wide.
The carbonate assays a good per
cent of gold. These in'iies are
located on the Cohmia mountains
and the opening is directly undei
the peak of what is kuowu as Fort
Mountain. There

years ago lo defend himself
against the Indians. Ores from
this property have assayed at
high as $65 per ton of silver and
gold.”
“Are the new enterprises up
there doing well?’’
"Yes. That is especially true
of the Georgia marble woik*
That compauy has established
several manufacturing industries
in connection with its marble
works, which are located on the
Tate properly. I ought not t<>
forget to say that near the man
ganese beds Is n greet quantity
of soapstone and Ule and taicose
slate, the lasi named being very
Bee for building purposes.”
"What sort of timber is up
there P
"There is e plentiful supply ol
poplar, oak, hickory, walnut,
wlMe and yellow piae, black lo
cust, and the itke.”
THE TOWNS B tOM.
‘H >w are the new towns upj
there getting along ?’’
"Nicely. Rue Ridge, where I]
live, was founded lisi November.
Il is on the summit of the Bur
Ridge mountains, at the highest
point crossed by the railroad.
There are about 100 inhabilauls
there already ; houses are going
upright along, and ttie place
bids fair to become quite a town.
It would make a popular sum
mer resort. A nice little town
has been built at White Path. A
large hotel has beeu built there,
and the claims of the place as a
summer resort will be pressed.”
A BIIOAD GAUGE ROAD.
"It is reported,” said the Con
stitution, "that the Marietta
North Georgia Railroad compa
ny intends to make the road a
broad gauge.”
“That is true,” 6aid Mr. Walker.
"All the orossties now bought are
for iho standard gauge length,
and the large ties are put in
whenever new ones have to be
used. The indications are that
the company will change to a
broad gauge as soon as the road
reaches Murphy, if not sooner.
Tliere is a force of hands now a<
work extending the road, and
the work is going on rapidly. I
should say Dial sometime during
this year the change of gauge
will be made.”
"And then the road will be ex
tended to Atlanta
"I cannot say about that. I
have no opinion on the subject
and no information ”
Mr. Walker says the iron beds
extend fiom below Carlersville
<o the Carolina line ami thence
through the stale of North Caio
lina. He is enthusiastic ovei
what he has seen.—A'lania Con
stitution.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
We are jusl in receipt of a let
ter from Gjn. C- A. Evans stating
that a corps of engineers will
start. Ihe 14. h instant, to-day, to
survey the route tor Hie A. & C.
railroad from Gainesville lo Chat
tanooga. These gentlemen will
in vest igale the different routes
and see whal the people along
Hie line of the proposed route will
do in Hie nature of right-oi-way,
crosslies. Subscription, etc. Now
is the time for Ihe people ol Gil
mer county to begin lo talk and
work tor this road. It is by no
means a settled fact that this
road will pass through tins comi
ty. Some people appear to think
the road will go through this
county any way mid that there is
no use in trying to do anything.
Ibis is a great mistake. The
people ol Pickens and other coun
ties are showing up their advant
ages, and proposing lo give the
right-of-way, crossties, and do a
liberal part by subscription. We
believe this county has advant
ages over every other if properly
shown up aud if there is a wil
lingness among tbe people to
give the right-of way and tim
ber rights, if they cannot do very
much on subscription. We be
lieve the great majority of the
people along (he line want the
road and are willing to give Hie
right-of- way, crossties, etc. Now
let every person go lo talking up
this country and the advantages
of our route ; and, when we are
asked to give Ihe right of-way,
give il and try to get every one
else lo do the same thing, aiui
subscribe what we can. and we
will stand a good chance for the
road. The importance of this
road to every one—lo the farmer,
merchant, manufacturer, miner
and even to the loafer is appar
ent. Tiie securing of this road is
almost as important as the build
ing ol the M. &N. G. road. The
building of one road through a
county or town, is almost a:i as
sured fact that it is never going
to build very much; but by get
ting two roads- to compete with
each oilier,gives many advaul
<ges to every class in low rates.
We must have this road, and let
every one go to work for it.

The Traveler’s Return.
After traveling and lying over
alternately we reached Memphis
in (be morning, crusting the Miss*'
issippi a lilt le after sunrise. Tup
waters had partially subsided and
slimy reminders of an oveiflow
were prevalent. We were delay
ed here a little over an hour. Ths
western tourists make close con
nection going and coming, if they
go the "McKenzie route.” Our
ride to Chattanooga was rather a
sleepy oue, and here We etopped
over Sunday. Accepting the
courtesies ot our friend, Mr. C. E.
Rosser, who acted as guide for
the paity, we reached Si Elmo at
the fool of Lookout mountain by
street cars, where we alignt and
ascend the mountain by an en-
way. This noye.l con
is something over a halt
mile in lengrh with an eucline of
33 leet in every hundred. A cable
wiro an inch and a hall in diam
eter forms a circuit lo which two
cars are one at each end
of the track, descending and as
cending simultaneously, and pass
ing on half way ground, and- are
propelled by an engine at the
foot of tie mountain. Alighting
from the encline at Point Lookout
you board the cars on a little rail
road that leads around the moun
tain to Sunset Park. This road is
on the side (f the precipice, and
as you pass around the sharp
curves you look down where rocks
have rolled over a mile from the
grade. Some places an object
would fall 500 feel before touching
any thing. Its devious way is
certainly giddy, and invades the
the crevices among the clouds
once infested by eagles’ nests
Sunset Park is on the western
summit and is a popular picnic
resort where parties hie almost
daily, especially Sundays. Rustic
seats are scattered over the Park
thatslopes gently lo the sunimil.
Returning (o Point Lookout, we
ascended a second flight over the
jutting rocks that protrude iu
frowning grandeur from ihe point
ot the mountain. An art gallon
rests on the very eve of the rock
from which can be obtained cer
tainly one of Hie most magnificent
panoramic views there is in Amer
ica. The whole mountain looms
up in abrupt and rugged form
and all the sublimity of mountain
grandeur seems to focalize around
Point Lookout. Fiom this emi
nence you can see in seven slate?,
Missionary Ridge, ail the battle
fields around Chattanooga, and
"Moccasin Bend” in Ihe Tennes
see river. We stood on the great
rock and were shown the march
of Gen. Sherman’s round the city
bv the gale keeper. AM points ol
notoriety or e minence can be seen
from Ibis base. On the rock at
the I’oint several artists spent a
few days just before hostilities
between the armies, sketching
many of the scenes about, this
rugged foot-print of nature. A
tragic end of Lieutenant Rooper
still remains a sad romance ol
those troublous limes. He was
in a Tennessee regiment and was
an artist, and while sketching one
morning he accidentally tilled Ins
chair and fell over Ihe precipice
150 feel before striking the rocks.
We stood on Hie same spot
where his chair rested and saw
where Hie first flag of the Con
federate Army was hoisted. The
flag-staff rested in a crack in the
rock, and the bars and stars float
ed out over the expanse below.
We lingered here with reveren
tial ecslacy. Tlje mightiest up
heaval of old earth seemed to
have culminated here, and the
finger of God lift its elernsl im
pnnt <>r. the brow of this rock
ribbed promontory. The rocky
labyrinths of this rampart are
wll ami romantic, and the
nymplft of the oast seem to lurk
in the sombrous recessess of this
shaggy battlement of nature, and
hum the dying echoes of the fal
con’s ribald scream and the hide
ous war-whoop of the Indian.
We stood on its brow, 1,200 feet
above Moccasin Bend and revel
ed in the beauties of nature.
Chattanooga with her burnished
roofs and gilied spires
in the noonday sun, Hie il ls wa
ters of the wiuding Tennessee,
and the leafy dales scooped out
by ihe attrition ot time, rrgaled
with the shadowy arcades of
nature, caught us in the rapture
of its thrilling embrace. If you
ever go to Chattanooga go to
Lookout. It will repay you. It
is a characteristic of such places
to "Jig” a man of his change. It
costs you 50 cents to go up the
suoliue, 25 cents lo ascend the
second flight, then you want a
picture on "that rock” to carry
off as a memen'O, and you will]
buy views of different scenes
•bout the Mountain, which sen*
erally lightens every sight e*er j
of about two dollars. At least
I, peisont vislied the M<iunt-|

So the reader can imagine the]
fortune in store for the proprie
tors of such a business.
The "McKenzie Route” is one
of picturesque scenes and will
delight any traveler. We re
turu thanks to the authorities ol
the W. it A., the N., C. & S. L.
aud the L. A N. Railroads for
courtesies extended us during our
western ride. The elegance of
their coaches, rapid travel and

cannot be excelled by any route.
