THE CHEROKEE ADVANCE, CANTON. GEORGIA.

FINE GOLD MINE PROSPECT CLAIMS.
Eighty Acres in the entire tract, located only two miles from
Holly Springs and railroad in Cherokee County, Georgia. 1 have
had a reliable prospector and miner to thoroughly test this
claim, and he reports a large vein of gold ore exposed by an open
cut six feet deep, the ore being free milling and can be mined
and milled very cheap—probably less than one dollar per ton
will cover all such expense; only about two and one-half feet on
foot wall appears to be a paying grade on my claim where ex
posed, but further investigation would probably show more, as
on an adjacent claim the same vein is over twenty feet wide, and
the ore taken therefrom is said to be worth about three dollars
per ton. _The vein is known as a large pocket vein, and the
method advisable would be a mill of considerable size so as to
mill the ore as sheap as possible. There is nearly three fourths
of a mile of strike of vein on the claim, the entire eighty acres is
in original forest, and is well timbered. There is no running
water on this eighty acres, but there is on property adjoining it,
which could be easily secured. 1 do not understand mining and
although I have had this proposition investigated by experts and
they have conservatively estimated the value of the property at
Ten Thousand Dollars I would be willing to sell for less than
this price. The claim lies about one thousand feet above sea
level, and the fact that free gold can be panned along the strike
of the vein at several different points shows that careful and
systamatic development work might show the existance of a
very rich and large deposit of gold ore. 1 am willing to sell a
bargain in this piece of property.

RICHEST GOLD PROSPECT CLAIM IN GEORGIA
If you. want the richest gold prospect claim in Georgia, per
haps my 40 acre claim is the one for you to examine. It is only one
mile from Railroad at Holly Springs, Ga. Plenty of water on
claim, giving excellent mining facilities. I have vein exposed
by shaft, which is 65 feet deep, vein is 7 feet wide assays show
the ore worth from three dollars a ton to over $1000.00 a ton,
for select parts. A reputable resident miner who is familiar with
it says this claim is worth fifty thousand dollars but I am not at
all excitable and would price much cheaper to a reliable man.
As deep as this claim has been developed the gold is free and
can be seen in the quartz. This is undoubtedly an extension of
the famous old Franklin, which has been developed down over
1000 feet deep, with the ore bodies larger and richer than at
the surface.
There is timber on this claim with which to timber the mine,
to be brief, this is an “Ideal Claim” if you care to investigate
write me direct as 1 will sell a bargain. This claim has been test
ed with a free gold mill test plant, and the average of the values
recovered has been above 40 dollars a ton. The 40 acre claim,
yet nearly 1-2 mile of the strike of vein, as it runs through the
lot nearly northeast from southwest, gold can be paned all along
the vein, showing good continuity, the ore can be mined and mill
ed at less than one dollar a ton. Claim lies about 1000 feet above
sea and indications justify a miner in anticipating a great future.

TO FRIENDS AND CORRESPONDENT
To those who may receive a sample copy of this paper with
a few mining claims briefly described—I wish to say this is an
effort to encourage direct dealing with owners. All interested
parties are requested to write these owners for more information
if desired.
To all my friends and correspondeents I say I am glad they
now have the opportunity of dealing direct with owners of deeds.
I have no apologies to offer, I feel like I am calling attention to
one of the most profitable industries known to man, I am not ask
ing men to come to Georgia to spend millions, but I am inviting
their attention seriously to the gold fields and other minerals of
the state, as an honest legitimate business. If a man buys a claim
at twenty five hundred dollars—does not over $500.00 worth of
work and in less than six months sells claim for ten thousand
dollars—is not his profits better than appears possible in the or
dinary channels and I am told this has recently been done with
a Cherokee county gold prospect and refer to it as a sample of
the bargains possible for a little money combined, with skilled
management. If a man takes $800.00 to test a claim, and pays
$275.00 for a plant and before spending all the $800.00 has
cleaned up and sold over fifteen hundred dollars worth of gold,
is it not strong evidence that gold could be produced at good pro
fits, and I done this work under a disadvantage of a very small
and almost worn out test mill, but it is postive evidence that some
profits were made. Ask a man to invest his good money in a
Cherokee county gold claim, and he naturally asks the question,
(How do you account for the failures that have been made?)
I briefly reply and say that nearly every so called failure I have
ever examined into was due to bad management. If reasonable
men will come here and study attending conditions closely and
impartially, I do not fear any disagreement with them for they
will find the evidence. Much of the mining has been done under
the direction of mine foremen, who were not able to distinguish
Iron from Copper, Pyrites from Gold. Where hand selecting of
ores has been done it has happened, that ore worth not over 5
dollars a ton was saved for the mill, when ore worth over $1000.-
00 a ton was sent to the waste heap, for the lack of mining know
ledge, but the claim was not to blame. -Much of the gold, in
Georgia is covered by a very thin film of iron, through which
the gold will shine, yet the coating is thick enough to prevent
amalgamation, but persons who were not competent miners and
not familiar with the true nature of the ores have advised large
amalgamation plants on such ores, to find out that the plant was
not adapted to the ores, and would not save the gold. Then the
parties financing, would very naturally grow skeptical and slow
about putting up more experimental funds, and in many such
cases the so called miners would condemn the mine and abandon
it when the real fault was with the men—-often companies have
organized with intention of mining practically—but about the
first thing they do, is to employ a costly expert, or geologist, or
some man perhaps at a cost of $500.00 a day and expenses to
get up a plan of advertisment. Do not the investors know that
God has some ways past finding out, and that the only possible
accurate way to determine the amount of ore on a claim is by
actual development, work that will permit of measurements, and
that no man is in possession of such knowledge as to enable him
to say in advance of work how many tons of ore exist, then why
pay enormous fees for information that is not possessed as to
whether volcanic action, or percolation, or some other force
brought our vein matter into existence. _I do know on these
delicate non-essential points, our most eminent geologist differ,
I think for the reason that nobody knows and my study has been
as to how to most cheaply break down the veins and put them in
to the mill-house for treatment, and not waste money on theor
ies that can never be reduced on a science and regardless of what
may have been the force or agent that produced our vein matter,
they exist just as they are and if the matter could be determined
it still would not be of practical benefit to the miner. -Hence the
only practical test must come by actual labor and work that al
lows measurements in prospecting I have learned that the south
west slope of a hill is better than a northeast slope, but I can
not tell why. I have learned that our best veins are those with
mica schists and porphyry wall matter, but I could not give a
scientific reason why. Just so with many points, some miners
put interrogations about, investors would naturally wish to know
about how much would be required to start production. To this
question, I would answer that $1000.00 would put in a small
plant of about 5 tons daily capacity, to save about 80 per cent,
of the assay values, where the gold could be recovered by the
simple free milling process, but if chemical treatment is required
which it would be on sulphurated ores, it would take near $5,000
on the same size plant, but in either case a plant should be select
ed according to the known supply of ore, and so placed in as to
allow additions from time to time, as developments would justi
fy in a belt or lead passing through the state nearly northeast
from southwest and generally about 7 miles wide. We have a
variety of minerals—gold, aned poper, mica, asbestos, iron, mar
ble, pyrites—We have a mild climate that permits of mining
work 365 days in a year. Our laws are very well made and per
mit* of such emergency work on Sunday as may be required for
drainage etc. The people as a rule are honest and intelligent.
Labor is cheap for the reason that the great resources are lying
dormant, undeveloped mining facilities are excellent—hte two
essentials are—a little money to start production and good man
agement to keep it coming at fair profit. -Most of the Cherokee
county, Georgia, gold claims are 100 feet above sea level and
down to that, depth can be worked cheap, compared with min
ing expenses in other countries, where the formation is hard and
costly to break. It is not my intention to make this as a miners
report, covering all points, but interested persons can write the
owners direct and let them give through a reliable miner, the in
formation desired and in this way the deals would be more direct
than old time optionist double pricing method. -1 firmly believe
that investors will appreciate the opportunity direct dealing
with owners of deeds and that is why I am suggesing that any
one desiring to watch things, might do well to send the Editor
a dollar and have his paper come regularly, giving mining news
and brief descriptions of properties from time to time.
Those with idle money can find a profitable field for invest
ment here if they will only take the carefulness to properly in
vestigate. I am not endeavoring to create an impression that 1
am the only miner that could succeed here, but 1 do say to invest
ors, to look well after the man who directs how their money is
spent, for on the miners judgement, depends success or failure.
Yet any good careful miner ought to be able to succeed now with
the history of the past and modern inventions to guide him.
Any interested person wishing more information could write
these owners direct and I am satisfied they would be given truth
ful and honest replies promptly.
Respectfully,
S. M. HILLHOUSE,

The Post Park Mineral Spring that is creating so much ex
citement in curing chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys and
stomach has been tested by the State Chemist, who says, “It con
tains Carbonates, Sulphates, Chloride of Potash, Sodium, Lime,
Magnesia, Iron and Sylica, and is quite pure. The daily flow of
200 thousand gallons, could cheaply be piped into Atlanta and
Canton. This 5 acre tract with spring, and park I will sell at less
than half its real value, as I am getting too old to properly de-
velope it as is deserving.

Gold, Pyrites, Mica, Kaolin, Soapstone, all of these on one
246 acre claim in one mile of Railroad, wood on claim to supply
boiler. Little river runs through claim giving excellent mining
facilities. Experts say there is a fortune in this claim. But I
have no experience in mining and would like to sell to some good
man who would take up claim on its true merits after examina
tion. Respt.
