Tint westt*ni miuiT t raveling in <•” trgi.i is struck with tlie ritlicn- hvisly h»w expenses ol mining, the extent aifl richness of the deposits, tml the certainty of ihe profit with most primitive methods and common li I I labor. Tiie writer would not tit tire to publish the following statement as to expenses without having fir t had ocn’ar evidence. The general estimate of the eost ol mining and milling where steam pow er is used does not exceed Si 50 per ton, ud wh *re water power is used alMnit oticshalf of this. At the K.iir- moiitit mines, near D.ihlonegu, L was 'iio.va the hooks of the company for ten taomhs’ work by it with its steam lO-statup mill and in its mines. It has tuiiied and milled an average of about I—0 tons p.*r d ty ill an average ex pense <»i 87 85. The Findley mines adjoining have water power for mill and also to sluice their ores from the v in* to the mill floor. The expense •iia*'>. for the last five months aver* ages ! *ss titan #19 per day, while the I average amount of ore handled was about 50 tons per titty, or 40 cents per ton. Miners’ wages are from 75 cents to 81 per day. They are faith* f*l, .* impotent, and work from situ- *»«*,» ; i .sun-sol. The nature of the S‘0*jn4 is such that miners make "ages hy contracting to run tunnels I rout 20 cents to 8l J>cr foot. Ol c u se tto blasting is uecessajy and r.'i’civ timlii'iing. fj,. lV shall over -10 lee! d. «*p eii! years :iu„ j„ ,| u .

Water powers are fre.pienl, and in some cases t onvenient and ample l.-r ex tensive mining. At the Franklin mill the water power at mean low water measures over 1,000 II. P. Ihe climate is perpetual summer, extremes of temperature being about 15 degrees and 00 degrees. The country is well settled, cultivated, and fertile, with excellent railroad facilities. These things account for the comparatively insignificant ex* penses of mining, which in their turn accoui t for the absence of those mag nificent failures which are incident to mining in the West, where mining and milling ores cost from 825 to S100 per ton, and where operations are on a corresponding scab*. It is quiie true that the yield of the mass of the Georgia ores seems almost a* insignificant, as tn*.* expenses, but the \ icld has i lie virtue ol being in favor of the miner, under the most adverse conditions known in the region. In Lumpkin county, the nresent cititer ol activity, and whore tin tv are some 200 stamps at w ork, or In in * planned in position, the Average yield is from 82 to 85 per ton. In Cherokee county, at the Strickland, Franklin and Pn-co mines, the aver, age reported is about £12 per ton : I'm ii I- S. u a t C Cherok v and Bonner, ?l» to 810 per ton. These arc alnij.s? exclus v, ly free gold or milling ores, lor as yet no effort of importance has been made to reduce the snlphurcts, which assay front three to ten times as high as the free gold ores. Up to a late date only wooden stamps, with square iron shoes, were used, and the lailinss are said to pay fot handling by the pan of rocker. The Georgia gold belt is cn-e.xtonsive with leading western formations, and ii has a record cf “str.kes” that compare favorably with t: e best of the latter. Th .• fol low ing are among the best authenti cated : - ■ **—.■* *;—. f( _ t- — • The Finley shall, a iirro\y incline 100 feet deep, yielded ..over 890,000 ; near by, Col. Hand took, from cubic yards of gravel, 425 dwts. of gold. The two Ca-tlebanvs got over 875,000 from Pigeon Roost placer, and on White Path placer, over 830,- 000 were taken out in one week. One pit on the John C. Calhoun pro duced over 823,000 in a month, and on the Passmore vein, twenty days’ digging in the soft shale yielded 810,< 00. The State Geologist, Dr. Liule, vouches lor over 8l.000.0C0 being taken from one forty acre lot by pan and rocker. From a sing’c open cut on the veins of the Franklin, measuring about 22,000 cubic yards of excavation, 8280,000 were coined at Dahloiiega, whi'e from the Strick land, three and one half miles distant, over 8150,000 were taken in three years. A small party washed out 5,000 dw ts. of gold w ithin six w eeks, from the bed of a branch near Villa Rica. Judge Z d. Bonner made w ith a small mill, about a half million dollais from his mines in Carroll county. From the Towers, three miles northeast of th * Franklin, an open cut of twelve lee! deep yield'd 810,000. r l lie Sixes, a placer mine ot foilv acres in Cherokee co ntv yielded over four million dollars Otic nugget was washed out weigh ing 1132 dwts., and nuggets were frequently found weighing from <20 to 200 d.vts. Thesis ..•* strikes ” weie supplemented by the operations of the’mint at Dahloiiega, which, during the years of its activity, coined some half million dollars annually from the surrounding mines, or rather wash ings, for this tvas mainly taken out by pan and long Tom the Georgia field is just awakening from the long neglect caused by “the California fever and the war, and everywhere are signs of intelligent activity that are fairly measured by the statement of Messrs. Porter it Meakcm, of Atlanta, who Iiav6 built about 25 batteries of five stamps each, best California pattern, within the last ten months.
