A short time ago when sonic gentlemen went up to Mr. Dock- erics, residing at the foot of Blue ltidgp, to examine his mica mine, he caught them a live rattlesnake, which was boxed up carefully and carried home by them.

Iho Sparks and Lewis Price completed I heir drain tunnel at the Ivey mine last week, and they are now taking out. oro worth about $20 per ton. As soonMr. Maxwell finishes his report, mintJie.r man will take ’ lie matter up and a smelter at the mines of the Consolidated Co. here will soon be installed. A meeting of the stockholders of Crown Mountain Co. takes place in Dahlonega on the lstli inst., at 12 o’clock. Business of importance is to lie transacted. T he first clean up of the lnger- so!l and Crisaon dredge boat, op erating in the Chest ft tee, river has been made and the results are very satisfactory, says (’apt. Ingcrsoll. The oro fifty feet, below the sur face outside of the Twelve Foot vein, down at tho Lockhart mine makes an average of $10 per ton. I his is claimed by the natives here to be one of the best mines in this country. The veins grow larger and richer as they are fol lowed. It is very. probable now that the water of the Hand canal will be extended to the Barlow mine again vsrysoon. Mo.ssrs. Trogonts, who are operating the Barlow, have a movement in this direction now. This is good property and all it needs is plenty of water to operate it. Dp at (lavender’s Creek mine the cutting of the long tunnel, which Inis been in progress for some time, has been abandoned and a new and more practicable route taken up. The new survey requires the cutting of about a thousand feet more canal than the old line and two tunnels of about tho same length as tho old one, but it is thought that all the work can be completed and tho water put on the mine by the first of August. By the first proposed line it would have taken some seven or eight months to com-' plete the tunnel on account of the solid hard rock. 1 he work on this tunnel has already cost two thousand dollars or more and some three hundred feet yet to cut through rock, It is not believed that rock of any consequence will bo struck in the new tunnels.

A Curd From Rev. N. A. White. To the members of Oak Grove church, I desire to extend my thanks for your kind inyitation to preach in your church last Sunday evening, and I really intended to do so, but after preaching twice and riding 20 miles and uot being at all well, I did uot feel equal to tho physical strength necessary for another service. 1 admiro the spirit of prompt ing the invitation. Why not help one another and yet remain loyal to our church? 1 hope to be able to be with you at some other convenient time, and I will appreciate any assist ance you ean render in any part of iny work. Our purpose is tho same, then why not help and encourage ono another in consuniating this pur pose ? Respectfully, N. A. White. West Lingerfelt, a cripple hoy, was brought in yeserday by Marshal Grizzle, charged with blockading. He will likely bo carried to Gainesville for trial to day if Com, Baker doesn’t arrive soon.
