By our silence on these two im

ol our labors in this direction. Not
hy any means have we. But only
feel the deeper interested in them
and the greater importance of their
being accomplished. The reason
why we have been lagging in tlieig
is that our space is limited and it
has been taken up by something
else, not more important but at the
time more essential. In future is

give more on this subject and trust
that the citizens of the county gen

Then let us make solid investments
in this way. It will bring belli
wealth and population to the coun

CHEROKEE'S GOLD PROS
PECTS.
Mr, N. A. Haven, writing to the
Editor of the Mining Record, says
of our county: Increased interest
is being felt in the gold mining
districts of Georgia, especially so
in that part of the belt passing
through the county of Cherokee.
In this particular section, the veins
arc larger and better d fined than
at the extreme ends of the leads, it
being in the central portion of the
of the belt; in every stream and
on ever hill on the belt for twenty-
five sidles, gold can he found. The
mines ot note that have been test
ed and worked, commence on the
northeast with tho Franklin,Strick
land. Oliver, Pasco, Clioynogowah
or Worley, Clarkston, Cherokee
and the Glade.
The Franklin, Strickland and
Pasco, are famous for the amount
of yield, when mining was in its
zenith, twenty .five or thirty years
ago; at that time, work was done
very superficially, large fortunes
wen made from them on work
none, not exceeding one hundred
feet in depth,Its soon as water level
was attained work ceased, an ! these
mines have been Ml* ever s.nce;
now that improved machinery has
been invented and mining has be
come a science, there is no reason
why enormous results eftnnot be
ha I. The Cheynogowali, mine,
twelve miles southeast of Strick
land, discovered a year since, and
on which there is a five stamp mill,
promises to lie one of the richest
discoveries yet made ; large and
continuous veins have been opened
and are paying handsome divi
dends; besides the veins, the hill
sides are permeated with the pre
cious metal; in one place an area
of two acres, four to six foot deep,
has pay dirt anil ore worth three
to six dollars a ton.
It has been tested by mill pro
cess, which verifies these figury*.
What is needed on this property
is a large mill, hydraulic washing
and pumping engines, etc. With
these appliances, there is no doubt
but that Dr. Little’s (State Geolo
gist of Georgia) figures- could be
easily attained, lie says, in his
report, that with a ten-stamp mill
and other needful machinery, a
yield of §75.000 per annum, can be
attained. His opinion is valued as
tho best authority on mining, of
any man south of the Potomac.
Tho mining region herein describ
ed, is of easy access. A narrow
guago railroad from Marietta,Geor
gia, to Gant n, the capital town of
Cherokee, connects with the great
Kennesuw route to Chattanooga
an I the west, and at Dalton via
Fast Tennessee, and to New York;
and from Marietta to Atlanta, twen
ty miles distant, the capital of the
State. Three hours ride from At
lanta will carry you to the mining
district. What is needed, is the
infusion of such spirit and enter
prise as is manifest in the western
states, with capital to hack it, to
make the Georgia gold mines fa
mous and to yield tar more hand
some dividends than has yet been
obtained iu the far-off region. Here
we are in a high, healthy region,
abounding in timber, abundance
of provisions, cheap labor, and in
sight of t.ie railroad. * We advise
those seeking investments to give
this region their careful attention.
