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.
