THU GLITTERING GOLD.
OI K MINERAL UKSOURCER SHOW CP
A FINE MINE OF THE YELLOW STUFF.
Something That Will Compare With the
Lumpkin Cdiluty Mines.
In point of mineral wealth, such as iron,
manganese etc,, it is now generally
conceded that Bartow takes the lead of
all the counties of the South. But, little
did her people dream that within her bor
ders would be found the richest gold mine
ever discovered in the State, and rivaling
many of the rich veins of California.
This most valuable and desirable mining
property is owned by Col. Thoa. Hunton,
of New Orleans, and Mr. O. P. Mcßoberts,
of Kentucky. It was through the courtesy
of the latter gentleman that a representa
tive of the Courant-Amehican had the
pleasure of paying a visit to these mines.
The mine is located on lots 1097 and 1098;
in the 20th District and 2d Section of Bar
tow county, comprising 80 acres. It is in
easy access, being on'y three miles from
Ac worth, which is the nearest shipping
station on the line of the W. & A. R. R.,
forty miles from Atlanta, and about twelve
miles from Cartersville.
In company with a congenial compan
ion we left Cartersville about eleven
o’clock last Tuesday morning, and reached
the mines by two o’clock that afternoon
We were kindly received by Mr. Mc-
Roberts, who. after extending to us the
hospitalities of the camp, began to pilot us
through the mines. Having beard much
of the richness of the recent finds at this
mine, we were prepared to see something
like an average Lumpkin county mine,
hut nothing so immense or extensive as
Mr. Mcßoberts developed to our gaze.
Upon one hill, within a radius of three
hundred yards, which had been fully ex
posed and thoroughly well tested, as
many as five ditferent veins, averaging
from six’ to ten inches width. Already
considerab'e ore has been taken from the
various veins in making the tests ; and it
only takes an inexperienced man and
casual observer to see that it is unusually
pregnated with the precious metal. The
owners of the mine have not as yet made
much headway towards mining proper.
Their efForts have been principally to de
velope the veins, and show their extent,
true character alid richness. They have
believed all along that they possessed one
of the most valuable mining properties in
the country ; but before making any to-do
over it, they wanted to satisfy themselves
beyond any doubt of its extent. This
they have done without scarcely letting
the outside world know what they were
up to. Now that they have made dis
coveries far beyond their most sanguine
expectations, are ready to put the mine
in full operation.
Mr. Mcßoberts estimates that one five
stamp battery, together with an engine of
sufficient horse-power to run it and do all
the pumping necessary about the mines,
can be purchased for the sum of SI2OO.
This battery, with the work of two men
to mine the ores,(using their average grade
ores) will yield from S2OO to S3OO per day.
Perhaps inno gold region of the country
can so small an outlay for machinery be
made to returnsuch a handsome profit.
The country around the mine is rolling
and somewhat hilly. None of the hills,
however, are over a thousand feet high,
and generally are much lower. They run
in long parallel swells separated by cor
responding hollows. These swells pre
sent a Jvery marked appearance which
could not fail to attract the attention of
even a careless observer, one being of light
color, aud the one adjoining of a red. A
close examination reveals the fact that one
comes from the decomposition of highly
ferrugious rocks ; while the other is quite
destitute of any traits of iron.
The mine iu question is located in the
summit of one of these red hills. The hill
in question is intersected by numerous
quartz veins, some of which carry sul
phides ot iron, lead, etc., others carry na
tive gold.
The vein which has been most devel
oped is quartz, and carries besides much
visible free gold. A considerable limonite
pyrite, and a peculiar hydrocarbon.
Both the pyrite and limonite are highly
auriferous as well as the quartz. The ap
fearanceof the quartz is very promising,
nstead of the massive variety, which is
so frequent, this, on the contrary, has a
decidedly seamed appearance. These
seams are much discolored, and in these
seams occur the gold in small irregular
shaped crevices In the many pieces
broken not one failed to reyeal a native
hit of gold. The bulk of the vein matter
is made up of quartz of this nature and
will yield a constant per cent of gold. The
width of this vein, as innieated by the ore
which was recovered in bulk from the
shaft, which is now about 50 feet, were
from five to eight inches from wall to
wall,and has increased very considerably
in width below 27 feet.
These ores are very rich Eight assays
were made by Prof. Wm, Mason, of the
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, of Troy,
N. Y., of rocks picked from the dump of
the shaft. The result of these assays were
as follows:
1. Rock esntaining much pyrite, yielded
per ton, of gold 20(5 oz.
2. YYall rock.or vein shaft, taken from
contact with country rock, yielded of
gold, per ton, 40 oz.
3. Rock containing numerous small ca
vities filled with peculiar hydro carbon,
gold, perjton, 3.9 oz.
4. Pink quartz, massive but with a
shivered or ribbon structure, gold, per
ton, 3 oz.
5. Vein shaft, large amount of limonite,
gold, per ton, 1.2 oz.
6. Clear quartz, ribbon structure, no
free gold visible, gold per ton, 5.5 oz.
6 vein stuff containing considerable
felspar, gold per ton, 2.1 oz.
8- Seamed quartz showing much free
gold, yielding per ton, 9.6 oz.
From this it will be seen that the aver
age of pold per ton is very large.
It is a well known fact among miners
that few if any auriferours veins are
fond, except those intersecting Arch
oean formations. These consist princi
pally of gneisses, granites, mica, and
chlorite, Schists and Slates. The mine is
question is in accordance with this gen
eralization, well located, intersecting as
it does a chlorite schist. This schist is
sc far decomposed that it may easily be re
in oved with a pick and shovel. In fact
alt the ore thus far removed has been done
without the aid of powder.
Among the many advantages of this
mine is its easy access to one of the largest
cities in the South, aud within a short
distance of the railroad, thus insuring
quick and easy transport of shipment.
The country is also supplied with an
abundance of the best mining timbers;
and the cost ol driving shafts and tun
nels through hard solid rock is here en
tirely obviated by means of the much de
composed country rock. Nothing need
be used but pick and shovel.
Again we wish to 3ay that Bartow
county can bo<*st of the richest go and
mines in the State; and one that will some
day make its owners immensely wealthy.
We have just received a fine line of
samples of Cheviots, Cassimers, Worsteds
and Corkscrews and are now prepared to
take orders for custom made suits at very
low prices and tjuick' delivery. Come and
get your spring suits.

INNUMERABLE BEDS OF THE PRE
CIOUS STUFF FOUND RECENTLY'.
The Pine Log People Turn Out iu Puree
With Pick and Shovel and Sam
ple Their Dirt.
Since the demand for minerel property
in this section commenced, and
the healthy prices paid for such, much
prospecting has been done by our peo
ple, and the most ftvorable results have
followed their efforts. Of course it goes
without saying that our county has as
much if not more mineral property with
in her borders than any county in
the State. But recent developments show
that the astounding stories of our wealth
have been overdrawn. Ever* day the
announcement is made that somebody
has made a lucky find. Several beds
have been opened and many show ten
and fifteen foot leads, and some as high as
twenty feet.
Just now Pine Log district in this
county is considerably stirred up over
some very fine discoveries. Instead of
going to the field these fine spring morn
ings the average Possom Trotter can be
seen with Dick and shovel sampling the
dirt on his lands, testing the large boul
ders of minerals that cover the ground
on every baud. The other day while Mr.
W. J. Collins, the superintendent of the
poor farm, was digging in a small place
where signs ot manganese had been seen,
ran across a rich vein, some fifteen feet
thick. The ore is of the richest quality
and beir.g only three miles from the rail
road will be easily put on the market at
a good price. The lot belongs to Messrs.
Aaron and W. J. Collins and James
Stephens, of this place. The gentlemen
have certainly a fine prospect, and in a
very few m >nths will derive some
healthy benefits from their find.
Bartow county, besides being in
a good healthy condition financially
finds herself the possessor of fine min
eral lands. The old poor farm, that was
thought to be worthless, and which the
county commissioners have at various
times offered for sale at the very lowest
figures, with no takers, has developed in
to a little fortune in the shape of a man
ganese mine. The county commissioners
have wisely taken the farm off the market
and wi 1 soon put a gang of workmen to
opening up the mines, when it will then
be sold. The county may be safely
counted as being on a boom.
We hear of several banks that have
been opened but space forbids mentioning
all of them
ON TO GAINESVILLE.
AN IMPORTANT PAPER ON FILE IN
THE CLERKS OFFICE.
The East& West to bo Extended to Illr
mingham and Gainesville.
Cartersville’a boom rose several points
yesterday, aud was largely owing to the
fact that Clerk Durham, had received to
be placeed upon record, a mortgage for
$500,000, executed by the East & West
R. R., of Alabama, to the American
Loan aud Trust Company, of New York.
The mortgage is upon the entire prop
erty of the E & W. R, R. Cos., and will
be held by the American Loan aud Trust
Cos., as a basis of security for debenture
bonds to be issued by said railroad com
pany to the amount of the mortgage,
($500,000.) It is generally understood
that these bonds will be sold for the pur
pose of realizing money, with which to
complete the extension of the East &
West from Broken Arrow to Birming
ham, and from Cartersville to Gaines
ville. With these two links complete
the line will be about two hundred and
thirty miles in length, aud traverse one
of the richest agricultural and mineral
sections in the south; aud will be one of
the most profitable railroad properties
iu the county. The link from Carters
ville to Gainesville? the late Gen. Mc-
Rae, declared it to be the best unoccupi
ed territory for a railroad in the South.
The wonder is that the E. &W. R. R.
has not arranged to build their exteu
tion before now. The completion must
necessarily make their line a paying
one.
The people of Cartersville are delight
ed at the present shape of things, and
feel that they have evidence that pract
ically assure the building of the Gaines
ville branch at an early day.
THE CITY COUNCIL.
Regular Monthly Meeting Street Tax
Will he Two Dollars For 1887.
Council met in chamber Tuesday night,
Mayor Wdrie presiding, Aldermen Griffin,
J. C. Wofford, J. A. Crawford, A. J. Col
lins and John C. Hilburn present.
Minutes of last meeting read and
adopted.
A petition was sent up by the draymen
of the town for the changing of an ordi
nance relating to their business. They
want people who change residences com
pelled to employ the drays to do the
hauling instead of calling in outside
teamsters, who they claim, do the work
too cheap. A committee was appointed
last meeting to pass upon the matter and
that committee through its chairman, Mr.
Griffin, reported adversely to the wishes
of the draymen. The report was unani
mously adopted by the body.
Marshal Wilkersou reported the follow
ing sums collected:
School House $lO 00
Weighing on Scales 90
Drnmme’s Tax 6 00
Fines 5 00
Total ....$2190
Accounts to the amount of $247.97 were
allowed and ordered paid.
It was unanimously ordered by the
city that the street tax for 1887 be placed
at two dollars per capita, and books be
opened for the collection of the same the
fourth of next month, and remain open
until the fourth of May.
The Committee on Ordinances, Messrs.
Griffin, Wofford and Crawford were or
dered to revise the present city or
dinances, compile them and haye
them printed. The city now possesses
only one copy of the ordinances and it is
in the last stage of destruction. A few
are thought to exist, however, and are be
ing held by citizens. Enough of the new
ordinances will probably be printed to
place one in eyery citizen's hands.
A motion was made, and carried, to the
effect that any member of the council who
remains away from the called and regular
meetings ot the body, unless he can make
a plausible excuse, will be subject to a
fine of two dollars lor each absence.
We have just received a line line of
samples of Cheviots, Cassimers, Worsteds,

orders for custom made suits at very low
prices and quick delivery. Come and get

MESSRS. X. S. EAVES AND W R. WAL
LACE DECLARED THE SUC
CESSFUL BIDDERS.
The Sam Jones Female College a Dead
Moral Certainty.
For several weeks those iu charge of
the building of the Sam Jones Female
College have been advertising for bids
for the erection of the same. Last
Thursday was the day set for opening
of tho bids, and at 12 o’clock on that day
they were opened and it was found that
Messrs. N. S. Eaves and W. B. Wallace
were the lowest Didders and consequent
ly the work was awarded them.
Yesterday the old board of officers
wero re-elected save the secretary, Will
Sadler being elected vice, F. J. Taylor
resigned.
The building of the college will be
commenced at once and pushed for
ward to completion as rapidly as pessiblo.
The contractors are both residents of
this place. The demand that is now
created for labor will amount to some
thing aud our merchants will derive
some benefit. Mr. Eaves is one of the
best and most scrupulously correct con
tractors in the State, aud his mahy
friends in this section are glad that he
will be at home for a while at least.
ON THE PROPERTY.
Civil Engineer* Locating Building Sites at
“Etowah.”
Monday morning a corps of mining
engineers arrived from Atlanta for the
purpose of going upon the Etowah prop
erty, near town, and locating sites upon
which to erect blast furnaces, mills, etc.
They were accompanied by Col. Thoa.
P. Stovall, of Atlanta, aud Mr. R. M.
Pattillo, of this place. The work of in
specting c anmeuced at once aud will
continue until this afternoon, four days
being required to do the work. The
chief of the corps Is Mr. G. W. West,of
Biimiugham, Ala., an English mining
expert, who has been long interested
with Mr. Deßurdeleben, of that city, in
opening up the mineral wealth of that
section. He is said to be one of the
fiuest in the couutry. and of course his
report of the property will be looked
forward to with deep interest by the
Etowah Company as well as our whole
people. Besides locating sites these
gentlemen are testing in various pluces
and locating the richest beds afore aud
where it abounds in the most quantities
blast furnaces will be erected conve
niently near.
What opinion, the gentlemen have
formed of their work, they have zeal
ously kept to themselves and no
amount of inquiry cannot be brought to
divulge what they have found out iu
their investigations.
Mr. West will make his report in a
few days and it goes without saying that
it will lie a most favorable one.
FUN FOR OUR FOLKS.
The London Theatre Company to he Here
Three Nights.
The London Theatre Company is billed
for our Opera House for to night, to-mor
row night and Saturday night, with a
Saturday afternoon's matinee. From
what we can learn by diliigent inquiry of
the troupe, we believe they will give our
people good satisfaction. We have ex
amined a great many press notices, which
are exceedingly favorable, among them
we find the following:
“The London Theatre Company played
to a good house last night. The charac
ters were all well sustained and some of
the acting was simply superb; the music
and bell ringing being especially enter
taining.”—Anniston Watchman, 25th ult.
“ ‘Fogg’s Ferry,’ as played by the Lon
don Theatre Company at the opera house
last night, brought forth one continuous
roar of laughter from the audienee. The
preformances by this company, on their
noyel musical instruments, were full of
interest anu called forth several encores.”
—Anniston Watchman, 2Gult.
•‘The London Theatre Company played
‘Lost in London’ last Tuesday night. It
is a splendid play and there was some
very fine acting by May Loranger as Nel
lie and Frank J. Dean as Job Amroyd.
Yet judging from the applause, as com
pared with that which greeted G. Kemp
shall as Blinker, a silly English servant,
we doubt if it was appreciated by the
audience. It seems it is low comedy with
local gags which takes, and the most un
natural acting and the most sally and
ridiculous didos received the bulk ol' the
applanse.”—Macon (Miss.) Sun.. .
OUK SOLDIERS’ GRAVES.
An Appeal for the Proper Caring of their
I.attt Resting Place.
Cabsville, Ga., March Ist, 1887.
Spring time has come again, and with
it the momentus question: “Shall we have
a decoration of our soldiers’ graves?” We,
the officers, are willing to do our part but
our hands are tied; unless the members
will send in their dues (25 cents per an
num), it is so small a sum that the majority
rarely give it a thought until the day ar-.
rives, then it is too late. We who look
after the work must pay promptly, how
can we do so without the means? We
have recently received a donation of $5
from a distant state, which should stimu
late us to do our who'e duty and preserve
cur county pride. We fell behind last
year some seven or eight dollars, which
must be paid. Will you come to the
rescue ? L. M. A.
