SOUTHERN BANNER: APRIL 16, 1878.
theological Survey of Geor
gia.
Atlanta, Ga., February 20, 78
Dkak sir In answer to your ,in
quiry, I give the following data: ,
Tbe geld region of Georgia is al
most co-exlensive with the area of
4< nietamorpliic’’ or crystalline rocks
of the State* It is bounded on the
northwest by tbe CdwUft. and, Dag
Down mountains, and on tbe south
by the edge of the “ lowland, 55 along
a line joining Columbus, Macon, and
Augusta. It extends , into Alabama
on the west, and.into North Carolina
and South Carolina on the north and
east. Not all of this large area is
actually gold-bearing ; but the barren
portions are comparatively small, and
together amount to ranch less than
hall of the whole. At a few points in
the southern halt of this large Urea,
good mines have been opened ; but
much the larger share of the work
done has been in the northern and
more mountainous portion. This is
probably, consequent partly upon the
greater facilties for working where
the grades are steeper, and the partly
upon the fact that, in the flatter por-
t ion the outcropsare more covcrd up
aud, therefore, have attracted less at-
t ne tion. It is believed that the south,
era pot lion includes as rich, and pet's
.taps as numerous mines as the north-
down to watei-level; but with hardly |
an exception, they have been deserted j
as soon as tbe water became at all
troublesome—partly. because of the !
increased trouble and expense, partly j
because the presence of undecoin- j Thtjifait Popular StitlliSe Paptf ioibf WmR

posed sulphids, intertcred with tbe j only «.eo « t w , iurludiac Po.Us.-f. Weekly,
saving of the gold. A few of these
veins are now being worked, in Union,
White, Lumpkin, Dawson, Cherokee,
Paulding, Haralson, Carroll, Meri
wether and Lincoln counties, with
returns of from $2 to $20 per ton, and
Railroads.

The gold occurs under three dis
tinct conditions: First As sand,
(“ dust’’) or pebbles, (“nuggets,”)
forming integral portions cf the de
posits ol sand and gravel along the
streams, which someiiiues extend as
high as 100 feet or more above the
present stream-levels. Secondly, As
grans, strings or masses, forming in
tegral portions of extensive beds oi
schists, which are sometimes accom
panied by layers of quartz ofgrea.
ter or less thickness, but are some
times entirely destitute of the least
particle of quartz. Thirdly, As a
part, or the whole, of the mineral
contents of quartz veins. - «
Much the larger part of the gold
thus for mined in Georgia has been
obtained from the stream deposits
above mentioned—mostly by tbe sim
plest and rudest methods of washing,
in sluices, rockers and toms, and but
a little by hydraulic washing, 'lhe
richest portions of the deposits have,
of course, been looked for; and pro
bably the larger part of them lias
been rained over, though so roughly
that the piles of tailings will, in nearly
every instance, pay the costs of re
handling. At few points, however,
do the miners now average, by this
method of mining, more than ordina
ry wages—75 cents per day to the
hand. Since this is the only kind of
mining that can be prosecuted with
out more or less investment of capital,
it is at once evident that there is no
inducement Jor an influx of mere
“ prospectors,"with no capital beyond
their hands and shovels.
Of the auriferous schists above
mentioned,,it is ip most cases profi
table to work ouly the uppermost
portions, above the level of natural
drainage, since these parts alone are
so decomposed apd disintegrated as
to be readily and economically hand
led. Some portions of these masses
will doubtless be,found rich enough
to pay following “ depth”; but no
attempt of this sort has yet been
made. Such masses have been work-
ed, at three of four places, by sluicing
and hydraulicmg. after running ca,
unis at high levels and at large ex
pense. There are large areas suita
ble for this kind of work ; and tbe
laws of the State expressly authorize
the running of canals for the pimpose.
It will require large capital to secure
such ground and bring it into paying
condition; but large returns cao. be
calculated on with considerable cer
tainty. Where the schists thus wash
ed out carry mjich quartz, the gravel
from the washings can, in most cast?*,
be profitable crushed in .stamp-mills.
Since the whole cost of handling such
disintegrated: ores does necessarily
exceed fifty cents per ton, even very
low-grade ores can be profitably
worked. .
The gold-bearing quartz veius are
quite numerous, and many of them
have been worked, in a rough way
well up among the thousands. The
veins vary in thickness from a few
inches to ten feet or more. To work
veins, on any but the smallest s^ale,
requires large investment of capita^;
but good profits can reasonable be
expected from careful and intelligent
work.
Large amounts of money have been
lost in working at the Georgia and
Carolina mines, partly -through the
ignorance and partly through the
rascality of locators and managers;
and the region has consequently ac
quired a bad name; It is therefore
to be hoped that, hcncofofth, the : n-
telligcnt and honest gentlemen who
arc concerned in the management of
most of the mines now active in lhe
State, will be joined only by others
of the same character.
The State has no land to sell; but
the entire area is owned by private
parties. It is therefore necessary for
the miner to first buy or lease the
property oil which lie proposes to
work. The perfection of landtitles
becomes, therefore, a question of the
first importance, and should be closely
examined into, q Prices will vary
greatly with location, amount exposed
ore, eagerness of purchaser, and im
agination of seller. In some particular
locations, small lots, with well-proved
veins are cheap at $100 per acre.
Larger lots, though known to he in
the gold belt, and containing good
gravel, but not proved to include
good veins, would be dear at $10 per
acre, unless exceptionally located.
The agricultural value of such lands
varies from 50 cents to $2 acre, if not
cleared, and from $2 to rarely more
than $10, it cleared and fenced. Un
der special excitements, lands have
been held and sold at from $200 to
$2,000 per acre; but most of those
who have paid such prices have eith
er come to grief themselves, ov else
have duped others into taking lhe
load and suffering from the inevitable
smash.
In leasing a mine, the royalty is
commonly estimated at one-tenth of
the gross proceeds, but is, in some
instances, increased to one-eighth, or
even one-sixth, and in others reduced
to one-twentieth
The capital needed will vary, with
the location, from $10,000, at any
one of say 100 places, up tosay $500,
000, at each of perhaps a dozen local
ities, at any and all of which good
management should secure returns
of at least 60 per cent, pe- annum for a
long series of years.
