Down at the Lockhart Messrs.

as they have every tiring in good

Up in Hightower district Mr.
Ashley is still doing development
work, driving tunnels in search of
mica. At tho Gaddis place he
completed a tunnel the other day
without striking the vein, causing
him to abandon it. After the
hands left Mr. Johnnie Gaddis
went in and cut on one side and
struck the vein in a very short
time.
The new process out West proved
the ore of the Dahlonega Consoli
dated Co., as well as the Standard
here to be very valuable. In tho
handling of the ore there are
things used there that can’t be
had here, and a gentleman is ex
pected in a short while to make a
test hero, and see if a substitute
can’t be found that will do as
well as the one there. If so big
money can be made in operating
these mines.
It begins to look like business
out at Jumbo Mine. A new resi
dence is lacing erected. A shaft
house and shed for engine and a
hoist is completed. Shaft No. 1
is down some 25 <>r B0 feet^ and
the work in the shaft is being |
pushed day and night. High
grade ore is being piled out on the
dump. Shaft No. 2 is also being
put dywn to cut another rich vein
three feet wide, some 100 feet east
of shaft No 1. The vein will bo
cut 20 feet below the surface. We
understand that these shafts will
be put down * as fast as possible
and every 50 or 75 feet cross cuts
will tie made and levels ran out
on the veins. A suitable plant to
work the ore will be erected as
soon as the mine is fully devel
oped.
