Davis had to return alone.

Tho largest worm yet coining
from a mountain cabbage was dis
covered in Gainesville a few days
ago, an account of which was sent
to tho Atlanta Journal. It licked
out its tongue like a snake and
was poison enough to kill fiftoen
people. The writer didn’t say, but
its head must have been as large
as a Ing wash pot, with teeth as
long as 20 penny nails. This great
monster opened its jaws of death
and roared like a 'lion, causing
alarm in the entire city and for
miles around. They started with
it to Atlanta in an iron cage to the
state chemist but the reptile made
its escape and has not been heard
of since. It is said that this snake
was carried through Dahlonega to
Gainesville in a wagon but it was
concealed in a cabbage head anil

Judge Kimsey didn’t carry out
the request of the grand jury last
week by appointing Capt. J. W.

At the last session of the legisla
ture a bill was passed not allowing
jurors to serve at two Superior
courts in succession. For instance j
if you sit on the grand jury at one
term of tho court you are disquali
fied to servo ou cither the grand or
special jury at tho next. Same
way, if you serve on tho special
jury at one term you can not servo
on any jury at the next term. So
pel’s
next
term of tho Superior court. Some
were disqualified at tho last term
of tho court, so wo arc informed,
hut such a law was not known
then, although it was of force but
whether it will have any effect in
cases where true bills were re
turned, in case any juror was dis
qualified, we do not know.

Mr. Ashley, aftor piospoeting
the mica mine on tho Leo proper
ty in this county for some timoj
tolls us that he finds it all right
and in a short while will locate in
Dahlonega. so as to lie more con
venient to his work.
The flrstlot of machinery for
the Gorge is all in, but there is
still morn yet to be delivered, be-
ing about sovon ear loads in all,
and in a short time the laRt will
be placed on•tho ground. The
work on the dam is moving along
nicel}’.
At tho MeAfea-Lind Gold Min
ing Co.’s Mine the mill machinery
is now nil on tho ground ready for
erection, and by tho time it is
completed, a large amount of
ore will bo ready, so as to keep it
constantly moving without any
delay whatever.
If there is any truth in tho old
adage that“\\ hat everybody says,
must, bo true,” Jumbo is tho larg
est and richest gold mine ever
opened in Georgia. In shaft No.
1 at a depth of only fifty feet five
good gold bearing veins have been
struck and they are still going
down on it.
Mr. Tregont’s lease on tho Bar-
low Mine expired last Saturday,
but lie is still at work and will
likely continue until the presi
dent, Mr. Ainesle, arrives. The
money has all been raised to ro-
sume work at the Bcninng Mine
but Mr. Ainesle wishes to get
everything ready to start when ho
arrives without having to make
two trips. He is now waiting on
some oxperts for other purposes in
view, to come with him.
A number of orders for Jumbo ,
stock have been received from tho
great mining state of Colorado.
We are glad to know that Western
mon are beginning to recognize
the possibilities of our rich and-
undeveloped gold fields. We
would be glad for enterprising
minors in the west—not only to
send their money, but to opine
down and boh for themselves. Wo
need their mining-skill and ener
gy as well as their money.
The Ingersoll A Crisson dredge
boat is up about the Lamarr lot,
in the Chestatee river, now mak
ing good money. Some large,
fine nuggets have recently been
found in the clean ups. We had
the pleasure of seeing a portion of
.. four week’s run lust Saturday,
after it was meltod into a bar,
nuggets not included. This bar
weighed three pounds and was as
pretty gold as we over looked at.
The owners are well pleased with
the results, as the expenses are
light and the profits large. These
beautiful nuggets and much fine
gold prove that there aro rich
veins closo by, yet not discovered.
The rich veins of ore opened on
the Jumbo Mine in the last few
weeks would have produced a
genuine sensation in any mining
country in the world except in the
south. Tho Associated Press dis
patches would have carried the
news of tho rich strikes to all
parts of the country. But here,
even among our own people, such
discoveries aro scarcely mention
ed. Just in this connection we
want to say there have been fewer
mining failures bn this belt than
iuanyother mining country we
know of, and scarcely a single
failure, that could be properly
charged to the mine, but in al
most every instant to the man
agement. There has been more
gold taken from this belt from
the amount of surface worked
than has ever boon taken from the
same amount of surface in any
other mining section of the United
States. With this record and the
quantity and quality of ore open
ed on Jumbo, and the character
and standing of the men in charge
of the mine, we confidently pre-
! diet a great success for Jumbo,
and feel that tho stockholders
will get large returns in dividend
l\ir tho money invested
