A Strange Man in Lumpkw
County Jail.
Mr. “Who is it,” that was
brought down fiom Chestateo dis
irict and lodged in jail last wec*k is
attracting much attention. He will
not speak to any one, has shot in
the back of head, scars on his body
and marks on both ankles like he
had boon wearing the shackles.
He is about five feet, four inchos
and a half high and well muscled.
He has not been shaved in about a
month but his hair is long. Tho
stranger was barefooted and when
arrested carried three old shoes.
His clothes arc old, dirty and rag**
gcd. When first captured he said
he was the “god of the earth,” is
about all tho words ho has uttered
since being caught. He first ap
peared at Mrs. Corbins, a widow
lady of that section, wanting some
thing to cat. Of courso such a
person was enough to scare any
woman, and soon after making it
known ho was captured in the
woods, tried before Squire Stanoii
and committed to jail. Some
months ago a man was found ly
ing out in a bark hut in Jones’
Creek district in the mountains of
this county, and it is said that ho
is the same individual. Mr. John
Smith of Young Harris, was in
Dahlonega Friday and stated that
a strange man bad been m the
mountains of that section. He
would not visit a house when a
man was at homo, but watched
and as soon as the males all left
would go iu and ask the lady folks
for something to eat.
Who the prisoner hero is, God
only knows and maybe on account
of his rambling about Ho has lost
track of him. The man when ar*
rested had nothing on his porson
except a pencil, twelvo cents and a
lamp wick. The latter was in his
old hat.
When first arrested ho told one
man that ho was from Germany
and another that ho was from
England. Any way ho has tho
appearance of being a foreigner.
He talks none now and has not
eaten a bite since Friday morning
and is getting so weak ho cannot
stand alone scarcely. Sheriff Davis
had his photograph taken last Sat
urday and now calls him “Polly.”
Ho is about 35 years of age.
Mining Notes.
f —
The'Caveudor’s Creek Co. hope
to bo nblo to resumo work in a
short while.
The Ingersoll Criason dredge
boat in the Chestatoe is working
every day with satisfactory pe
nults,
Mining operation at the Creigh
ton, in Cherokeo county, lias bean
resumed on a small scale, says
the Advance.
We ni'o informed by Capt. |for
gersoll that tin* company has deci
ded to sink the Bonning shaft a
thousand feet deep. It certainly
gives us pleasure to note this pro
posed revival of mining dowji
there, for we hopo to see both the
Standard nnd Consolidated mines
on a permanent boom,
At the Jaquish near Auraria,
development work st ill continues
by Mr. Robt. Poston, This seems
to be an excellent proposition and
with but little outlay of money
water can be secured to operate if.
The water power is so convenient
on the property that a canal < f
less than a mile will put it where
it is desired.
Satterfield and McDonalds got
the air pipe extended from the
Hand to the Lockhart last Satur
day and blew the whistle for the
first time, and by this time are
taking out ore from this valuable
mine in larger quantities than
heretofore, ns nil tho drilling up
to date had to be done by
hand causing very slow progress.
Messrs. Parker aud Hall of Ma
con, Ga., liavo already commoner
ed work on the Summeronr prop*
erty near Auraria, in this county,
A ten stamp mjill will be erected
at once and water pumped on tins
hill from the river to run the
mine till they.' make a thorough
test, and if tho property proves as
valuable as beliyed, the mill wilf
be enlarged.
The operations down *t an4
around the Barlow are mown#
along as usuaj, all iiiiteceet*
ed getting satisfactory results. At
the last clean up by Tregent
and Bruce on ore taken from
what is called the “Swindling
Vein” they got 142 dwts. and tW
grains from <5 tons. And at an*
other place on the Barlow proper
ty Jackson, Castleberry and
Brooksher milled 16 tons and sc
oured 182 dwts. and 4 grains.
Mr. W. B. Fry is in -charge of
work out at the Jumbo and ■*
hoist has been placed at the shaft
this week, enabling him to pro
ceed with this work much faster.
In the excavation of a place to
build a house last week a twelve
or fourteen foot vein was struck
containing gold, causing the
location of the building to be
changed and it may be that an
other one will be discovered as the
property shows signs of many,
Things present ft lively appear
ance up about the Gorge dam.
About 80 hands are daily at work
now. Borne hauling logs, some
getting out rock and others build
ing the dam. It will be a good
substantial structure when com
pleted. About two thousand logs
have been cut, many of them al
ready in position and it will take
near five hundred more to com
plete the work. A portion of the
floor is being put down now to
raise the water which will enable
them to lloat all the logs they
want down tho stream quicker
and easier than by hauling them
with teams.
The Etowah Mining Co, is pro
gressing right along. They are
working on their ditch and are
going to have more power. Their
experiment with their new crush
er has proven to be very* good. A
new assay office has been erected
and a good supply of water is be
ing conducted from the spring be
low up to the house by means of
pipes for use. They have been
cleaning up and arranging their
new buildings and machinery till
it does not look like the same
place. It is now promised that by
the timo they get every thing in
good running trim they will have
one of the best equipped plants in
this section, and they are expect*
ing good returns for their works
