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- The Gainesville Eagle VOL. Xi 11. 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 expedient in re-washing the- sands | for diamonds Mr. Ji auings has al ready precured the s« rvices of an Ex pert, from the Braziian diamond i 1 ■ mans,who will soon settle the moot- ■ ed question of whether or not it will i pay to work for them. I have no i doubts on the subject; yet capitalists j are afraid to venture, unless the facts 1 are established; lest they reap the reward of the Arizona Sw.ndle 1 In addition to diamonds, added to l metalic wealth, we have the ruby, co j rundam, sapphire, beryl, amethyst, I topaz, garnet, carnelian, rutile, tour ‘ maline, kyanite, rock crystal., with i mica, asbestos, kaolin, manganese ' graphite, with all the accompany | ments of the diamond.

In Hall, Lumpkin, Banks, and Habersham counties we find magnet ic iron of a quality which defies com petition ranging as high .as 92 per cent, so pure that a blacksmith can take a piece from the vein, heat it, and make a butcher’s knife, without a smelting furnace.

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 ia thin., gray, sandy; but is produc 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. GWINNETT.

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 flint the rAfnonA frnyi tha oe3l Adiur. 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 is all ways full and not a few are f.hav wlm smh at beiim turned awav )RGE M.

Uncle Dan Quattlebaum —al- > ways on hand when something must be done for suffering humanity—is right on the street rail road just s half mile from the spring, and no matter how many come to stay with him he always has room for a few more, and every one who comes to Uncle Dan goes away glad to the bottom of his heart. The mineral properties of the water are iron, sul phur, and magnesia; there are other minerels also, but in less quauGr.iea and of such a kind as are of lej 8 ** ,i --portlAice. more 3 p The member of visitors at^ f ythj n g l th * watering places in thia vacisare respect (season has been about, -f or which we have been able to £« every day in th enteen hundred.
