Food for thought. Think of it. Last year
the farmers of Georgia raised only 2.0QO.COO
bushels of wheat, and as Georgians consume
10,000.000 bushels we had to buy S.000,000 bush
els. Wheat Is $1 per bushel. Why raise cot
ton at 5 cents to buy this wheat when we
can easily raise 100.000.000 bushels and sell
the overplus? You have only yourselves to
blame, if it is hard to buy liour.
The gold deposits of Georgia occur in
belts, running northeast and southwest simi
lar to those in Virginia and North Carolina.
The three belts which are the Dahlonega
belt, extending from the i,orth Carolina
line into Alabama; the Hall county belt, ex
tending from the North Carolina line to the
deposits in Fulton county, and a short belt,
with neighboring deposits in Lincoln, Col
umbia. Wilkes, Green and Oglethorpe coun
ties. The most important deposits along
the Dahlonega beit are in Lumpkin, White,
Cherokee, Paulding and Haralson counties.
Isolated deposits occur in Towns, Union,
Fannin and Gilmer counties. Lying south
of 'the Dahlonega belt, and extending in the
same direction, is the Hall county belt. Con
siderable attention is now being paid to de
posits along this belt, especially in Hall and
Gwinnett counties. A short belt, west of
this, beginning in Cobb county and extend
ing into Alabama, is known as the Carroll
county belt. There are isolated deposits in
a number of other counties. Dahlonega, the
county seat of Lumpkin county, Is the most
prominent gold center in Georgia. Among
the leading mines of Lumpkin county men
tion may be made of the Lockhart, Single-
ton. Tahloneka, Bass, Findley. Barlow, Cal
houn, Yahoola, Mary-Henry, Battle Branch,
Betts, Ivy, Fish-trap. Hand, and others.
Nearly all the principal mines are equipped
with good stamp mills, varying from five to
sixty mills.
Mostly Free-Milling Ores.
The gold ores of Georgia arc, as a rule,
very characteristic and very similar to each
other in all parts of the state. Some ex
| Occasional Virgin Gold Veins.
Many of the ores of Lumpikn county show
free gold and some of the veins are very
rich. None of the deposits that have been
examined by the writer can be said to be
even well prospected, but sufficient has been
done to give great promise of reward for
future efforts. The Mary-Henry and Betts
mines are excellent prospects and the Jumbo
and the Crown Mountain well deserve devel
opment. The Garnet property, on which are
a number of shafts, pans well. In fact, it is
astonishing that # with so many fine pros
pects in and around Dahlonega and in other
parts of Lumpkin county so little develop
ment should have been done. But before the
civil war, in the early history of gold mining
In Georgia, effort was mainly directed to the
mining of the rich and extensive placers
throughout the country, and since that time
the hydraulicking of the thick deposits of
saprolite, which have paid fairly well at a
minimum cost of mining, has best suited a
people who have no surplus capital which
they might invest In deep mining. The very
fact, however, that so little development has
been done has served in the past to deter
capitalists from the north and west from in
vesting in these properties. In the Villa
Rica region of tho gold deposits, which have
been under active operation during the past
two or three years, gold reports of success
have reached the writer from lime to time.
In the McDuffie county belt Mrs. J. Belknap
Smith, a very successful gold miner, has
been working the Walker and Columbia
mines for several years with great success.
A lack of capital for the establishment of
suitable plants for working the Georgia ores
seems to be the deterrent in their develop
ment, but within the past year two or three !
large companies 'have been formed to put up I
These deposits occur in Floyd. Polk, Bar
tow, Chattooga and other adjoining coun
ties in large quantities. As the demand for
this valuable metal increases these deposits
will be profitable sources of supply. Ala
bama will be a formidable rival, however,
in the production of this ore.
Many valuable deposits of corundum have
been found in the state, as indicated in bul
letin No. 2 of the geological survey of Geor
gia; but only one locality has been worked
for profit to any considerable extent. This
property, known as the Laurel Creek corun
dum mines," in Rabun county, has been ex
tensively and profitably worked for some
time, though they are now shut down, until
the country shall have a return of more
prosperous times.
The mineral occurs in a large number of
localities in the crystalline belt of Georgia.
Besides the Laurel Creek mines, mention
should be made of the Bell Creek and Hog
back mines in Towns county, the Track
Rock mine, in Union county, and the Turner
property'near Powder Springs, in Cobb coun
ty.
Much Fine Potter's Clay.
The clay deposits of Georgia are *in great
abundance, and in excellent quality for all
the uses this material has been pCit to in
the economy of man. A bulletin on this
subject, prepared by the state geological
survey, will issue from the press, in a short
time, giving many Interesting and valuable
facts concerning the deposits of this state.
Practical tests in the laboratory of the sur
vey. which has been supplied with all the
most modern appliances for this purpose,
rank the Georgia clays among the best.
These deposits certainly give great promise
as a source of future revenue.
At Cement. Ga., the Howard Cement com
pany produces an excellent grade of rock
cement from the limestone of the locality.
The product for‘1895 amounted to 8,050 bar
rels.
Of the mineral waters of Georgia, those
from the Bowden Lithia springs, near Aus
tell, and t'he Hughes mineral spring, near
Rome, were reported as shipping water in
1895, the combined products being 54.000 gal
lons. But prominent among the watering
places of the state are Indian Spring,
in Butts county, and the Warm, Springs, of
Meriwether county. A new lithia spring
near Austell has been recently brought into
the market, and its waters are now being
bottled and shipped. Tills is known as the
Austell lithia spring. Besides those men
tioned above, quite a large number of valu
able mineral springs in the state are not
now in operation. ,
Georgia leads the south in the output of Its
marbles and granites, while in the former it
is second only to Vermont. Were there a
sufficient market near at hrnd, no state, ex
cept possibly Massachusetts, could lead it in
t‘he production of granite. In bulletin No. 1,
on “The Marbles of Georgia,” published in
1895, the state geological survey has given
detailed information as to the marble depos
its In the state and descriptions of the ex
tent of the Industry. Chemical analysis,
compression tests, absorption tests and mi
crophotographs of a number of typical mar
bles from the state make the bulletin of such
practical value to the marble producers tha
they have bestowed unstinted praise on the
survey for this work, and are using t’he bul
letin largely as a means of securing con
tracts. During the past three or four years
the output has greatly increased, being in
1895 more than two and a half times as
gTeat as in 3893. Since 1893 contracts for the
use of this marble have been awarded for
building St. Luke’s hospital in New* York
city, the Corcoran art gallery in Washing
ton city, the new capital for Rhode Island
and a large office building in St. Louis; and,

Men and women doctor their troubles so often without benefit, that they get dis

eyes puffy, the feet swell and sometimes the heart acts badly. Should further evidence
be needed to find out the cause of sickness, then set urine aside for twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling is also convincing proof that your kidneys and bladder noed doctor

it is now found that in nearly all cases the
Florida orange groves supposed to have been
killed by the severe freeze of four years ago
have recovered. One visiting Florida today
would scarcely believe it possible that such
a terrible freeze had occurred so lately. The
orange crop for the coming winter now* prom
ises to be unusually large, and as the freeze
did not extend to the orange groves near and
south of Tampa, the orange industry in that
region has been given a great impetus and

THE FARMER’S DOLLAR.
From out oi the grain fields of Kansas,
'Nebraska, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and Texas, says
the Gentleman Farmer, come stories of
golden wealth; not the metallic wealth of
the Klondike, but of the golden grains of
corn and wheat, which are destined to first
relieve distress abroad, and finally enrich
the producer at homo. The bounteous pro
duction? of these magnificent empires will
bring more dollars into the Utiited States—
ten times over—than the precious metal
product.
And it carries with it no heartaches, either.
The wealth that comes from the field, like
unrestTatined charity, blesses him that gives
as well as him that receives. No long, weary
marches, aching hearts or despondent hopes
characterize the wealth that comes from the
farm. It is purer in the abstract -than the
virgin gold that comes from the inner re
cesses of mother earth. It feeds the hungry,
clothes the naked, and blesses all mankind.
Already its good effect is being fe».t through
out the land. The furnace, the forge, the
factory and the railroad are now taking on
new* life as the result of the farmer’s effort
and good fortune.
From all directions comes the encouraging
news of reviving business: the implement
dealers, the jobbers, and the manufacturers
all declare that business is better than it
has been for years. The farmer’s dollar
seems to be everybody’s dollar. It is not
spent with the wild extravagance of the
miner, but i: accomplishes far more good
In the end. Instead of finding its way over
the bar or into the faro bank, it first goes
out to labor, then to the country store, next
to the railroad, then the jobber and finally
the factory, leaving something with each and
blessing all. Fcur years of such conditions
as now prevail will lift every mortgage in
the land, and make the United States -the
credKor nation oi the world.

ceptions may be cited in the auriferous and
argentiferous galena and chaltopyrite of thd
Magruder mine, of Lincoln county, and the
solid white auriferous quartz in some of the
mines around Villa Rica, which show no
Signs of pyrites or other gold bearing sul
phides. The ores as a rule consist of free-
milling, or more or less friable, auriferous
quartz, generally cellular, from the decom
position of the auriferous pyrites originally
included, or of decomposed mica-slates.called
saprolite by Dr. Becker, in w’hich are in
cluded small gold-bearing quartz masses,
usually flattened, parallel with the schistosi-
ty of the slates. In. the ores of the Hall
county belt there is a tendency to a modifica
tion of the quartz ore by the addition of
galena as a constituent mineral, and in the
Dahlonega. Hall county, and McDuffie coun
ty belts pyromorphite (a choro-phosphate of
lead) in small quantities is usually an asso
ciate of the gold. In the McDuffie county
belt chalcopyrite and galena are also asso
ciates ,of the gold. As a rule all the aurifer
ous deposits change from free-milling to
sulphide ores at the water level, and many
of the mines are rich In the auriferous sul
phides. Unlike North Carolina, none of the
mines of Georgia have been worked to any
considerable depth, no mine around Dahlon
ega being as deep as 200 feet. Most of the
work done in this section has been by open
cuts in the saprolite. by shallow* shafts and
by tunnels. The Creighton (Franklin) mine
in Cherokee county, is the depest mine in the
state, being nearly 500 feet deeD. Here a
chlorination plant Is used to save the gold
from the sulphide ores with great success.
Some of the ore runs quite high, an assay
of a selected specimen resulting in $130 per
ton. The general run of the ore. however,
averages between $S and $9 per ton.
Most of the mines in this county in their
undeveloped condition appear to produce
low-grade ores, though the Tripp property
has yielded assays between $15 and $15 per
ton on material selected as average ore.
The writer has been recently informed that
the Messrs. Pope have of late taken a con
siderable quantity of very handsome ore
showing a large quantities of free gold and
quarts from their property near Canton.
suitable plans around Dahlonega and to
work the ores systematically. A sufficient
number of chlorination plants have already
been established in the state to prove that
up to the present time this is the best meth
od for working the Georgia sulphide ores. It
is said that the company manufacturing the
Thiess barrel chlorination process guaran
tees a saving of 90 per cent of the assay
values of the sulphide ore, and the writer
is creditably informed that at the mines in
Georgia where this process has been at
tempted the resuK is a saving of from 96 to
97 per cent of the assay values.
Iron, Coal, Manganese and Bauxite.
The iron ores of Georgia, which, so far,
have been worked, are the limonite and
fossiliferous hematite deposits of the paleo
zoic group, which is embraced in the ten
northwest counties of the state. No great
enterprise has. as yet, -been established. The
fossiliferous hematite deposits overlie the
limestone, in some cf the low* ridges, in the
region referred to. Valuable deposits have
been worked on Dirt Seller mountain, Tay
lor’s ridge. Dick’s ridge, the Shinbone ridge
and along the east side of Lookout moun
tain. almost to the Tennessee line. Many
important deposits of the limonite or brown
iron ores occur, especially In Polk, Floyd
and Bartow counties. The magnetic Iron ore
of Georgia has not, as yet, received atten
tion.
The coal deposits are confined to two coun
ties; and for the past few years, only two
companies have been operating-—the Chick-
amauga Coal and Iron company, in Walker
county, and the Georgia Mining. Manufac
turing and Investment company, in Dade
county. The total product for 1895 was 260,-
998 short tons.
In manganese Georgia led the country in
1895. with an output of 3.S56 tons of manga-
nes-; oxide, the largest since 1889. The de
posits lie In Floyd. Polk and Bartow coun
ties. in three principal districts, the Cave
Spring, the Woodlands, or Barnsley, and the
Tunnel I Hill.
Georgia also leads the country in the
quantity of its aluminum ore, which occurs
as the mineral bauxite (aluminum hydrate).
within the past month, the daily papers
have announced that the award has been
made for building the capitol of Minnesota
of Georgia marble. In addition to these the
producers have supplied material for a large
number of minor contracts for interior decor-,
ation. etc. Several large firms, too, are en
gaged in manufacturing this marble into
monuments, coping, balusters, tiles, wains
coting, etc.
Beautiful Marble and Granite.
Georgia had at the Tennessee Centennial
exposition probably the most beautiful ex
hibit ctf marbles ever made in this country.
The Georgia marble varies from very fine
grained to a medium coarse crystaline stone,
and occurs pure white, pearl gray, black and
white mottled, pink and green mottled, etc.
The Georgia Marble company and the South
ern Marble company are the most extensive
producers. The Piedmont Marble company
suspended operations some time ago on ac
count of litigation, but the writer was in
formed a few months ago that their excellent
plant would start up again soon.
At one locality in Georgia serpentine has
been found of excellent quality for the man
ufacture of slabs, columns, and a beau
tiful display of it was seen in the state’s ex
hibit at the Tennessee Centennial exposition,
the specimens being furnished by the Verde
Antique Marble company, of Chicago, -which
has leased the quarry near Holly Springs, in
Cherokee county. Ga.. and which is now be
ginning to operate it.
Georgia granite is well known in many
parts of the country, for in recent years it
j has been shipped to almost all parts of the
• United States, contracts being secured for
this material, notwithstanding the enormous
freights which are so much against the en
terprise. The coping around Riverside park,
in New York city, and the Carnegie public
library, at Pittsburg. Pa., are built of Stone
Mountain granite, while several contracts for
places equally remote have been awarded
to this stone. In addition to this, this cele
brated locality has ‘furnished large quantities
of paving blocks for different cities in the
United States, ar.d an extensive industry has
been carried on for some years by Messrs.
Venable Bros., of Atlanta, owners of the
Stone Mountain deposits. They are now* ac
tively engaged in producing this stone for a
number of important contracts on hand.
With Macon as its headquarters, the Georgia
Quincy Granite company has* ifor some years
been actively engaged quarrying the excel
lent building granite at Sparta, Hancock
county, this material being used almost alto
gether for the superstructure of buildings
and for paving blocks. They also have an
extensive quarry in the contorted gneiss, at
Odessa, in Meriwether county. Quite a num
ber of quarries have been opened and op
erated near Lexington. Oglethorpe county,
and hear Elbertor., Elbert county, on the
beautiful, fine-grained, blue granite of these
counties, nearly all the material being used
for monumental purposes. The Venable &
Colllne Granite company of Atlanta, are
now actively engaged in quarrying and man
ufacturing a handsome blue granite from
their quarry in' Elbert county, in a stone
very similar to the blue granite just men
tioned. There are quite a number of exten
sive deposits cf granite and gneiss of the
best quality «for both monumental and build
ing purposes in different parts of the state,
which as yet have not been opened. A num
ber of these can be seen in the systematic
collection of building stones of the state
museum, numbering over 50 8-inch cubes,
which were on exhibition in Nashville.
Building Slate in Abundance.
Beautiful slate of the best grade occurs at
Rockmart, in Polk county, where it has been
quarried by the Georgia Slate company and
by other companies for the past few years.
The product for 1S95 was 2,800 squares, but
at the close of that year the producers were
better prepared than ever before -to fill orders
promptly and a steady improvement w*as
looked for.
Talc Is mined in Fannin and Murray coun
ties for the manufacture of various kinds of

SOUTHERN VS. EASTERN MILLS.
The recent convention of cotton manufac
turers brought to the front the foreboding
New England manufacturers who have at
last come to.the conclusion that there is
something serious in Southern competition.
It was even admitted that tariff legislation
cannot help matters.
Well, tnat which is a fact now. The Con
stitution predicted .twenty years ago, and it
returned to the prediction when, in 18S1. Mr.
Edward Atkinson soothed the New England
mind with statements to the effect that cer
tain conditions, climatic and otherwise,
would prevent the south from competing
with New England in cotton manufacture,
especially in making the finer grades of
goods.
Within sixteen years, the-south has prac
tically run New England out of the coarse
goods -market, but has begun to manufacture
all the finer grades except prints, and this
last is a mere question of establishing print
•works at some convenient point. Some of
•the very finest goods are now manufactured
successfully in Southern mills.
Some of the Northern manufacturers seem
to think that low wages at the South is the
cause of the trouble. But “low wages’’ is a
relative term. Southern mill men can pay
as high wages as New England for the same
quantity and quality of service and still un- i
derseu their eastern competitor. The higher *
the wages pa~* the more and better work
the mills turn out—that is to say, if the pay
roll is based on experience and efficiency.
There is but one way for the New England
manufacturers to compete with the Southern
mills and that is to bring their plants South. I
This has already been done in some in- |
stances.—Atlanta Constitution.
A GOOD COON AND CORN STORY.
The Little Rock Democrat is authority
for the kind of corn lands they have, in that
'particularly blessed region. It says: Eight
o- ten years or so ago there was a lake near
Morrilton covering about 10.000 acres. When
the big floods came two years ago. an open
ing was made by the surging waters which
carried oft all the water of this lake when,
the floods subsided.The bed of the lake dried
up and left the richest soil the world ever'
saw. It is ten feet deep, and nothing the
River Nile ever produced could excel it.
This year Mills and Hawley have a crop of
corn on about 1.000 acres of this iand. They
sowed the corn broadcast like wheat, and
the stalks are as strong as saplings, and
I scores of “shoots" are also loaded down.
’ "It Is tho most remarkable corn crop ever
' produced in the world.” declared Professor
* Cox. and, to make the story even more in-
' tercsting. he ended it by declaring that a
“coon" was caught between the stalks, and.
being unable to extricate itself because they
were so thick, was killed by those who came
upon it.
THE GEORGIA PEACH, "ft'.
It is now ten years since the Georgia grow
ers began to ship peaches in any quantity
to northern markets. Year after year the
crop has been growing larger and larg»2r,
until today Georgia is the greatest pe-a/ch-
gro*wing state of the Union. Delaware,
Maryland and California follow in the order
named. Last year the Georgia peach crop
amounted in round figures to 6.500.000 bas
kets, which is only one-third less than the
product of all the northern states together.
'She Is one of the three leading states in tho
production of pears, and of course the Geor
gia melon crop is without a rival In quantity
and quality.
From 300 cars shipped in 18S9 the crop has
grown until it reached 1,000 carloads in 1896.
There has been an enormous planting of
peaches in middle and southern Georgia.
This region is one of the greatest fruit pro
ducing districts of the country, and
•with cheap and rapid transportation and
established fruit lines, in the next five years
it will become a formidable rival to Califor
nia..
The Georgia peach belt, as It is now called
is-a strip of territory that begins about forty
miles below Atlanta at Griffin and extends
south 150 miles to Tifton, ranging in width
from ten to thirty miles. There are, of
coures, extensive orchards outside these lim
its, but the heavy blocks of peach trees ex
tend, roughiy stated, along the lines above
named.
It is estimated that there are about 2,500,000
peach trees in bearing in this Georgia belt
and between 100.000 and 200,000 more trees
planted and growing.
The large number cf peach orchards in
the belt consist cf from 3,000 to 5,000 trees,
that is from twenty-five to thirty acres.
Next to these are the orchards consisting of
from 10.000 to 30,000 trees, and with good care
and with fair prices they will yield an in
come of from $5,000 to $10,000 annually.—Cin
