This shows that Lumpkin county

Mining Notes.
The new company, recently pur
chasing t.he Rutherford gold min
ing property in this county, will
be known as “The McAfee, Lind
Mining Do.*’
The Inst news from Mr. Ainslie,
president of the Consolidated Co.,,
is to the effect that lie is going to
call a meeting of the directors, so
ns to know what to do.
Mr. If. I>. .Inquish, after an ab
sence of some days, returned to
Ins mining property last week and
will soon begin the erection of a
ten stamp mill to start work with,
and biter on will add more stamps
to it as necessary. This is said
by t hose who know, to lie valuable
mineral property nnd good results
may bo expected.
The work on the Gorge power is
being pushed as fast o* men can
do it. The machinery is now be
ing hauled from Gainesville. It
is hoped that all the heaviest,
parts of the machinery will be
moved before the winter rains set
in. Tho waters are all very low
and it is probable work upon tho
Crown Mountain will not be re
sumed until the Gorge power is
complete. All believe when full
[lower is assured and tho plant
run to its full capacity that the
mine will will pay weli.
The Jumbo Gold Mining Co.
was organized last Monday. The
following Board of Directors were
elected: J. F. Moore, T. F. Jack-
son, A. G. Sharp, J. McN. AY right,
.J. B. Clements and AV. J.'Worley.
The following officers were elected
to serve for the ensiling year: J.
F. Moore of Dahlonegn, Ga.,
president and general manager-;
Judge Wilber F Stone of Denver.
Colo., vice-president, and T. F.
Jackson, secretary and treasurer;
.1. B. Clements, assistant general
manager in charge of all mining
operations, and AV. B. Fry, min
ing engineer. All these officials
have much experience in mining
and mining operations, and
aro thoroughly competent to carry
to success fruition the parts as
signed them. AVe all know' Frank
Moore and know what success lie
has had made of mining as well
us everything else.he has under
taken. Judge Stone, the vice-
president, was one of the pioneers
of tho west—is now associate jus*-
tice of private land claims, and a
man of the highest character.
Jackson is proven to lie one of the
best business men in the commu
nity. Joe Clements is the well
known prospector and miner. Mr.
Fry is a mining man of expe
rience and a first-class mining en
gineer. AVith such officials suc
cess is assured. A more exten
ded notice of this company, as
well ae tho officials will appear
next week.
The Jumbo Mining Company,
which was organized last Monday,
is now ready for business. The
prospecting and development
work which lias been going on for
several months, continue to fur
nish supplies in the large amount
and richness of ore daily discov
ered. The assay of average ore
from a number of veins show, tak
en as a whole, the richest large
bodies of ore yet discoyered in
this section, indeed were the same
discoveries made in the west, it
would create a great sensation.
The following assays were made at
Nashville, Tenn.. Denver, Colo.,
and this place, of the average ores.
\Ve are informed by the miners in
charge, that ore can lie selected
which will run up in the thou
sands. Assays by Prof. Whorton
of Nashville, Tenn,: Two foot
