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.

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
