MINES, MINERALOGY AND
GEOLOGY OE NORTHEAST
GEORGIA.
BY DR. M. F. STEPHENSON
1
The gold belt of Georgia is in pri ,
inary formation confined to about j
fifty counties, of which Lumpkin, i
White and Hall have produced about ,
forty millions of dollars in gold since (
its first discovery, in 1828. I
> The first gold found in the United (
States was in 1799, in Cabarrus (
county, North Carolina; but regular <
mining was not inaugurated until ,
’ 1823. When first found at Nacoo- j (
chee the excitement at once began, ,
and rapidly increased until it culmi. ,
natedi in a perfect rush in 1829 ami .
1830. The whole region embraced ,
in the Cherokee nation was alive with ,
adventurers from half a dozen States ,
At least ten thousand were camping j
out, working like beavers for the ,
shining dust. Most of them wore ,
totally ignorant of mining, or even of ,
gold when they saw it; but they soon (
learned how to save the free gold, ■ ,
and made from two to three, and | |
frequently five or ten, dollars a day ' ]
In 1830 the State of Georgia took j (
formal possession of the territory | ,
within her limits, and forced the |
United States government to make a .
treaty with the Indians, and and re- .
move them west of the Mississippi. j
The State then passed an act to sur- (
▼ey the whole district, and divide j
the gold region into lots of forty (
acre*, and the agricultural portion (
into lots of one hundred and sixty |
acres; and each voter had the chance j
to draw one lot of each. Then the j
“Intrusion” ended, and regular min- f
ing commenced. During this period >
ail the gold was bought up by agents ,
from New York and Philadelphia, or (
London and Paris, at from 60 to 75 - <
cents per pennyweight—worth from ,
90 to 95 cents. In 1837-’3B a United (
States branch mint was out iblished
in Dahlonega, and continued to coin i
the gold until the war of 1861, when (
the whole business was discontinued. ,
After peace was made, the building
and grounds were donated to the
State for an agricultural col ege, j
which is now in successful operation, (
with 300 students.
i (
The gold region of Georgia is of ;
primary formation; the predominant (
rocks are granite, gneiss , hornblende j
and chloritic schists, with micaceous <
and talcose slates; also the elastic |
sandstone,(or matrix of the diamond) ■ (
marble, etc. The development of ,
the metaliierous resources of this
section has been mainly prevented
by the long-continued mania for Cal
ifornia, Colorado, Nevada, and other | ,
Western fields, where the adventurer
could get his claim and dig, without
money and without price.
Northeast Georgia Las a greater
diversity of metals, minerals useful
in the arts, and precious stones, than
any country of equal area in the
-’Vorld. This will soon be demon
strated to the satisfaction of pny ;
practical miner or capitalist, as there
are 500 stamps in operation, and 100
more being pu 1 up, with a capaci y
of crushing about two tons per stamp,
yielding about $6,000 per day. But '
this system, when completed /nd
carried out by the energetic and per- i
severing Col. Hand A Co, of Ohio, i
and a few others, will develop the ;
gold, silver, copper and iron interests
so far, that in a few years we will
produce ten millions annually, in
stead of one. Our gold ores are cer
tainly richer by far than those of the
Pacific coast or South America. Oar ;
silver ores range from $25 to SIOO,
and some much higher. But the
developments are ao few and super
ficial that no positive or satisfactory .
opinion can be formed.
There is but one silver mine being
developed in Georgia, situated five
miles nori beast of Gainesville, in
Hall conntv. and known as the Hur-

ris, or Lowman mine. It was worked
for 25 jears exclusively for free gold.
The vein is from three to ten feet in
width, and has been superficially
tested at various points for half a
mile, the deepest shaft being one hun
dred feet. The ore is aigcntiferous
galena, with alternating lodes of sul
phuret of iron, yielding from S2O to
SIOO per ton of gold, arid but little
s i ver Ti e deepest shaft yielded
$■ 86 per ton of silver, and $575 of
■ eid. It has been purchased
recently by Gen. Finney and Col.
| Sanderson, of Pennsylvania, and put
j under the superintendence of J, J.
Hayden, an experienced, expert, and
practical miner; who Las been engag
ed for years as atesayer and mining
engineer in the celebrated Cedral
silver mines in Mexico, and also in
? the Pacific States; his long experi
ence gives the assurance that he will
soon make discoveries of great value,
and give to the world the true-char
acter of this rich mining district. To
do this requires capital, which is now
being furnished by the company.
Accompanying this and parallel with
it, on adjoining lauds, are two other
veins ci’ gold, with a single lode in
each, of argentiferous galena. Prof
Hayden is now engaged in testing
the Harrington vein, north of and
in near proximity to the Air-Line
Il lilroad. It is seven miles north
east from Gainesville, and was work
ed years ago, at different points, by
ignorant persons, in the crudest man
ner. Their works were merely sur
face diggings, in no case exceeding
thirty feet, and generally from eight
to ten feet. The main lead is a
quartz vein from two to four feet
thick, with a large percentage of sul
phuret of iron, rich in gold. In
some specimens,, we find quantities
ot the sulphurets highly crystalized
This vein extends southwest for over
two miles, including the Merck prop
erty, which has been fairly develop
ed, yielding from S2O to S3O per ton;
and at one point, sixty feet deep, the
assays ranged as high as 66, with
several where the silver largely
predominated, of an average of $lB-5
per ton. The mill, o five stamps, is
kept running about four days in the
week, by the labor of four hands
and a machinist, and one team, at
$7, yielding an average of S4O per
day. They propose sinking three'
shafts at intervals of 1.000 yards, to
the depth of 100 feet, which, doubt
less, will produce twice as much, and
enable the company to form a cor
rect opinion of the relative value of
the different sections, so as to adapt .
their machinery and mining force to
attain the greatest profit. I have no
hesitancy in saying that the iirttnd
ed developments will give highly sat
isfactory dividends. And as the vein
crops out prominently for half the
distance, and will average nearly 100
feet above the water level, ths ore
in sight above that level will reach
more than 10,600 tons, obtainable
ami milled ata cost of less than $1
per ton, without pumps or hoisting
machinery. This, to a California,
Colorado or Nevada miner, would be
considered fabulous; but the cheap
ness of labor, timber, living and ma
chinery proves it beyond question.
The celebrated Glade Gold Mine,
which has been worked] exclusively
for placer or deposit golcn for near
ly half a century, is situated north
east about six miles from this, and
twelve miles from Gainesville. This
mine has yielded more than $300,000
of gold, and more than 20 splendid
diamonds, picked up by the ignorant
hands mostly ae curiosities, some of
them worth from SIOOO to S2OOO. Bn‘
the ignorance of the miners, as well
as the owners of the property, in
those days, of the nature and value
of these precious stones, has hereto
fore prevented the introduction of
any system in the workings, either
for gold or diamonds, until recently,
through the irll leuce of Prof. Hay
den, Mr. Jennings, of Brooklyn, New
York, was induced to purchase the
mine, and also the Finger water
power, seven miles above, which Mr.
Hayden canaled, and brought the
whole plaier digging.-, of over 200
acres, under this hydraulic power of
156 feet, equal to the employment of (
150 miners in the gold washing de
partment, and as many more, if found

reward of the Arizona Sw.ndle 1
In addition to diamonds, added to

THE GLADES.
The Glades, a succession of valleys
and hills twelve miles North of Gain
esville, are remarkable for their
beautiful scenery, intersected with
clear running streams, abounding
with cool refreshing springs, is one
of the most delightful spots in North
Georgia. Here is the beautiful resi
dence of Qliver T. Jennings embel
lished with modern improvements.
This desirable property owned by
his father, A. G. Jennings, of New
York, is famous for its mines of gold
and rich lodes of silver and bismuth.
The mines are worked by hydraulic
power, the water being conveyed
from the further extremity of the
property in a ditch 5 miles in length
Here on the beautiful granite falls of
Flat Creek are situated the Glade
Flour, Saw and Planing Mills and
Cotton Gin which are doing a flour
ishining business. The amount of
gold shipped monthly to the Mint
attests to the richness of the placer
deposits, which for extent appear in
exhaustable. One would think that
Nature had concentrated her riches
on this favored spot, gold abundant
silver native and in the form of
chloride resembling the rich ores of
the famous Comstock lode; manga
nese and iron, probably suitable for
the production of Besseder steek,
vast beds of peat and marl, invalua
ble fertilisers, and last, but not least
the bright sparkling diamond, whirl
ed from no one knows where, and
produced no one knows how ..Settled
in the valleys as in a basin the hills
forming a rim, it calls to one’s re
membrance the famous Aft ican val
ley which has been the most fertile
in the production of diamonds in
modern times. Several Glade dia
monds are in the possession of citi
zens of North Geongia. Th s beau
tiful locality may be approached
from Gainesville on the mail route
to Cleveland, and the traveler can
not fail to be impressed with the
stir and bustle of business; alighting
at the Glade store the din of the
blacksmith's hammer, the noise of
carpentering and the roar of waters
rushing through the hydraulic pipes
hurling rocks and stones away as
imworthy to hold company any longer
with the precious gold they leave
behind them, all make a scene that
will not soon be forgotten.
SISTER COUNTIES AM)
COUNTY TOWNS,
BY M. P. CALDWELL.
There is scarcely a county in Geor
gia that is touched upon by more coun
ties than Hall. There are eight bor
dering on it and each is more or less
distinguished, some in one respect
and some in others. These counties
have twenty one towns within their
borders, mainly along the Air Line
and North-eastern railroads. Most
of these towns are young, as to age,
but several are making rapid strides
in improvements, manufactures,
schools, etc., worthy of far older pla
ces.
BANKS,
lies on the east, and is distinguished
for fine river lands, rich cotton farms
a thrifty population, short courte and
low taxes. Homer is the county-site
six miles from Maysville on the
North-eastern railroad and twelve
miles from Bellton on the Air-Line
road Has a good brick court bouse, a
safe jail, good academy, a Methodist
and Presbyterian churches.
DAWSON,
on the west is a small, but splendid
grain county, indeed, it is noted for
its “hog and hominy,” fine stock and
Etowah bottoms, the beet in upper
Georgia. Dawsonville is the seat of
justice. Has a good brick court house,
good jail, Methodist and Baptist
churches, and an academy. There
<re more fine cattle, horses and
i mules raised in Dawson, and more
gs cribs of corn and more large
uoxet of wheat than in any of our
Sister Counties, if it is small. The
beautiful Amicolola falls are in this
county
FORSYTH,
a «Tnn3 «venter a Annntv HP ha

tive. The Chattahoochee river has
some fine bottoms bo has one or two
creeks in the county. There has
I been a great deal of gold dug in the
county and operations on a small
scale are going on. Cumming is the
county site twelve miles from Duluth
on the Air-Line road and twenty-two
miles from Gainesville. Brick court
house and academy, Baptist and
Methodist churches.

a splendid farming county taken as
an average. Lawrenceville tue
county-site is thirty miles from
Gainesville and fourteen from the
Air-Line road. In former days a
great many wealthy citizens lived
and a large cotton factory was suc
cessfully run there. Thay have good
public buildings, churches and acad
emies There are generally two
good schools in operation. A rail
road is located from Duluth to the
county-site, and work will soon be
gin on it. In the county are Buford
Duluth, Suwanee and Norcross, new
towns that have sprung up on the
Air-Line. These have addea a great
deal to the population and materia)
wealth of the county.
JACKSON.
This county taken all in all is the
best farming county in Northeast
Georgia. Various prongs of the
Oconee river and numerous large
cre?ks traverse the entire county
upon which are very rich bottom
land,and a great deal of it. The up
lands are red and black, susceptible
of any degree of high cultivation.
These lands are appreciated as the
best of cotton lands, as well as wheat
and grasses. The county has - a new
jail and will soon have a bran new
court house, one of the best in the
State. Jefferson the county-site is
twenty miles from Gainesville, and
is the seat of the Martin Institute.
They have three churches, Methodist
Baptist and Presbyterian. Withip
the borders of the county are Ma ■Se
ville, Harmony Grove, Nicholson and
Centre towns on the Northeastern
road.
LUMPKIN.
This is emphatically a mountain
ous county, the Blue Ridge and nu
merous spurs traversing its entire
length and breadth. This county is
distinguished for gold and improved
gold machinery at work in many parts
of it. Millions of penny weights of
gold have been taken out and mil
lions more will be. The farm pro
ducts are corn, rye, potatoes,cabbage
and tobacco. These grow well in
the coves of the mountain; or on
the rich hill sides, Dahlonega is
twenty five miles from Gainesville
and is a place of considerable size
and trade. It is the seat of the
North Georgia Agricultural College
a splendid school of three hundred
scholars, male and female. This
school is doing more good and is of
more gene ral benefit to the State at
large than any other one in it.
In this county is the famous Porter
Springs. A railroad is just located
from Gainesville to Dahlonega, and
work will begin on it soon.
WHITE.
This is a small county on the nor
thern boundary of Hall county lying
on the south side of the Blue Bidge,
It is distinguished for its tall moun
tains, lovely valleys and rich gold
mines. The gtand Chattahoochee
river rises in this county near the
Unacoy Gap and rushes madly on
through the beautiful Nacoochee
valley in its course to the Gulf. In
this valley and on Duke’s creek near
by are rich gold fields have been suc
cessfully worked the last fifty years.
Cleveland is twenty-four miles from
Gainesville,and has good public build
iugs, churches and hotels. Promi- l
nent among the mountains of the |
county is the towering old Yonah ;
which is visited by thousands every
year for the beautiful views from its
summit. Nacoochee valley lying at
its base on the north side is perhaps
the most distinguished valley in the
State. It is noted for its fine resi
dences, its wealth, fertility, beauty
and enchanting expanse and the
mound that marks the grave of the
Indian maid Nacoochee.
SPRINGS AND WATERING
PLACES.
BY I. L. CANDLER.
Gainesville has in a few years
grown to be the centre of attraction
for all those who leave the hot sickly
climate and malarious morasses of
the extreme southern states to seek
health and comforting ease. Loca
ted as it is among the hills of North
East Georgia and surrounded by the
many attractive features which this (
section possesses, it is very natural

treatment of the sovereign musauito
should invariably make this his stop
ping place. . .
The New Hoiking springs, well
remembered by all who have ever
paid a visit to this section, are situa
ted one mile and a half east of Gaines
ville on the Air Line Railroad.
From the trains passing over the road
with almost lightning rapidity the
admiring passenger sees this beauti
ful resort, and a moment later the
scene has vanished like a panorama.
From the spring the road is seen to
form a crescent about the village on
one ‘"de w’-ile n w. the giant
I a ‘ ills, yet clad in its s mms
“< ?aves a rents of oaks, presents a pic
?B e x c splete with the lovliness of
nature, such as would stir to poetic !
s ac ion the most dormant socu. Here
one may roam amid the beauties and
granduer of nature all day, and
when night comes can lie down and
sleep with perfect comfort. At night
the thermometer ranges from fifty
six to sixty degrees. The mineral
properties of this spring are: magne
sia, carbolic acid gas, iron, lime and
free stone. Near it has recently been
found a sulphur and an iron spring.
The former is said by an eminent
Virginia chemist to be equal to the
celebrated Green Briar Spring oi
that state. No definite quantitative
analysis has yet been made of the
iron spring, but its effects upon those
who uso the water confirms us in the
opinion that its is one of the strong
est to be found anywhere. Using
this water will give a person an appe
tite that will give any boarding house
keeper good reason to feel alarmed
in one day, and usually their fears
are well grounded for it takes more
rations to run a person there than
any where it has been our good for
tune to happen upon. Dyspepsia,
heartburn, vertigo and ail diseases
arising from indigestion always yield
to the almost magical influences of
these waters in a few weeks. This
season we find that in all there has
been about seven hundred registered
there and a fine prospect for many
to remain until the fall season is far
advanced-
Six miles from Gainesville among
the young mountains, as they seem,
at the foot of which gurgles and
’.c2psLbe waters of the Oconee river
we “Oconee white sulphur
Springs.” This iesort is perfectly
lovely and has the most ample ar
rangements for the entertainment of
guests of any resort in the state, Maj.
Phinizy has spared neither pains
nor money to make this the most
popular watering place in Georgia;
as to his success, let those who have
visited him speak. Quite a village
his sprung up around the hotel con
sisting of cottages designed for the
habitations of those who come with
their families tc enjoy the advanta
ges afforded by this noted resort.
He intends before next season to
establish telegraphic communication
between the White Sulphur and the
Air Line Railroad; this, suppiemen
ted by his present hack-line to the
rail road depot two miles distant
from the Spring, will give visiters all
the advantages afforded by rail road
towns while they are free from the
smoke, cinders and noise of constant
ly passing trains. This place is too
well known for us to give any exten
ed notice of it. We are sure that in
the future it will be patronized as it
has in the past.
The Porter Springs are acknowl
edged to possess wonderful medicinal i
properties. We are sorry t.iat we
could not possess ourself of lAe exact
analysis of the water, yet we know
from experience that it is ‘‘sure pop’’
for dispepsia and all disorders of the
stomace and liver. They are situa
ted in a lovely valley among the
mountains of North Georgia, twenty
'seven miles from Gainesville, their
nearest railroad point. A line of
hacks run daily 7 from Gainesville all
thej summer, the road is very good
and all things taken into considera
tion, it is a most agreeable resort if
it is located in the woods. Around
it can be seen the mountains with
their stone capped summits standing
guard as it were over a resort such
as the fays and elves might seek for
their moon light festivities’
More varied scenery
can be found nowhere. Our im
pression upon our first visit was
that the Supreme Architect of the
Universe intended this for a place
where invalids should resort to be
restored to health and the care worn
might bo delivered from perplexity.
When you get tired of being sick and
care worn, come up to the mountains
and pitch at Porter, and jou will
soon be ready for business again.
There is no better watering place
any where than Gower Springs.
Located just out side of the corpor
ate limits of the city, and having a
street rail road running from the de
pot to within less than a stones throw
of it is easily accessable by parties
who may desire to stay in town. Mr.
Gower keeps an excellent hotel and
no one can fail to like his style of
( running a summer resort. His house
