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 THIRTY-THIRD YKAR. posed sulphids, intertcred with tbe j only «.eo « t w , iurludiac Po.Us.-f.

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. .

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.
