Mining Notes.
We can’t remember of ever see
ing two dry years in succession
here before like this and last. It
is a great draw back to the mining
industry. Work had to suspend
down at the Singleton last week
on this account. It was paying
well and we are sorry that such is
the case.
Jumbo Gold Alining Company
is backedeby substantial values.
Every stockholder is part owner
of this great mine. There is no
prefered stock. The pay ore is in
abundance. No expensive tun
nels necessary to reach it. The
underground development now
being done daily, is opening up
new bodies of rich ore, both free
milling and concentrating ore.
We know of no mine in Georgia
where so much pay ore is in sight,
nor where future development
promises so much to the stock
holders. In shaft No. 1, at a
depth of 40 feet, five veins of high
grade are opened, constituting a
body of quartz of about five feet
in thickness. The ore now being
taken from this shaft would bo
classed as high grade in auy min
ing camp. Parties desiring large
returns from a small amount in
vested, should visit this mine and
examine it for themselves while
tho stock is offered at 15cts per
share of one dollar. There is no
doubt but what the price of stock
will be advanced to 20 or 25 cents
1 n 1 lie near future.
A rich anil.hotter vein has been
struck in No. 2 shaft since pen
ning the above. A number of
persons went up to see it yesterday
all of whom were well pleased.
Johnson and others contempla
ting making big money with a
lift down below the Singleton,
bad to abandon it. They got the
line down but found that they
didn’t have sufficient pressure.
They.are satisfied the mine is all
right and would pay well but are
unable to work it for the reasons
given above.
The Pyrites Company still has
a good force of hands moving the
work along with a vim.
Mr. McAfee tolls tis that the
McAfee-Lind Gold mine is prov
ing itself to bo one of the richest
in the iu this whole country,
