W'c are very sorry that any of oui exchanges copied a recent lets ter published in the Atlanta Jour- mil about the gold mines here, for tho report is yery much exagger" aled. We hope that the next Jour nal man visiting our city will deal in facts and not imaginations. Mr. 0.

We regret to see this gentleman take up his abode elsewhere and hope that he .nay yet muko Lumpkin county his borne.. Mr. John Hutcheson, one of Aurarias’ most clever citizens was up to Dahlouega awhile last week. Mr. Hutcheson is tho gentleman who brought that big turnip back from the west. It weighed i8 pounds. Although they raise big turnips and many other things in the west, Mr. Hutcheson prefers bumpkin county for a home.

It may be yet that Judge Kimsey will carry out the request of the recent gram! jury by appointing Cupt.J. W. Woodward, as all the present registrars terms expire first of January and new ones will ha\e to he appointed. For several years past Miss Lila. Reid, a daughter of Mr. Win. Reid, has been carrying the Ya- honla and Dahlouega mail. From now on her presence will not greet us here as often as in years gone by, as the lady was wedded last week to Mr. Arthur Jackson. The stock law down tho country is beneficial to those raising hogs in tic mountains whero such a law doesn’t exist; as some of them are making more money trading on hogs than at any thing else. Mr. Marion Gurley of Union county Inis sold seyeral loads down there, and disposed of 25 pigs in Dahlon- ega last week. A message was received from some one below last week by tho sheriff telling him to look out for Aaron Satterfield formerly of this county, so we understand, hut we failed to learn what Aaron had done. If Aaron came this way he didn’t let any one 3oc him and still enjoys his liberty as far as we know. And still another mountaineer heard from. It is said that a eei’i tain Union county farmer went down to Gainesville not long ago with a load of grown roosters, and finding no sale for thorn on this ac count, drove off in the woods, pulled all their tails o-nt and next day returned and sold nil his en tire load of young chickens.

He has gathered 125 bushels of apples and much better, and cheaper on has been partially supplying our | county had tho Squire given market with nice fruit at $1.00 pet- bushel. He saved 200 bushels last year and has a very tine orchard. Oihei farmers living in the same neighborhood have good orchards but the crop was almost a failure with them. Cabbage snakes seem to’be very scarce. We bought four hundred pounds last week and our better half made them into kraut. One merchant from whom we purchass ed the first lot syid that he would give us 25 cents a piece for every snake wo found in the cabbage. This was one time sDakcs would have been profitable to us but not a single one could be found in the four hundred pounds. The per son who fails to prepare something to eat tor winter and next spring, for fear of cabbage snakes, will go hungry and look pretty lean before vegetables come again.

The negro had to go to jail and will likely have to stay there till court. It would have been so the the child’s mother a chance to como into court and give her boy a se vere whipping, Wilburn Grizzle of this cortnty, was tried by Com. Baker last Saturday night and bound over for the soebud time in loss than two weeks for operating an illicit distillery. This lime his bond was fixed at $400. On the 6th, Grizzle was found running a still, and brought to town and bound over. And last Saturday the officers found him back at tho same place with a new still taking care of what bad been turned out on the ground a few days previ ous. And by being saving in this manner ho may have to serve a term in tho U. S. prison. The other day Fermon Carroll, col., went to a lady here in town and secured her horse and buggy to go out into the country to see his dead mother lie said. Then he told the lady that she could pro- cu”c the money for the hire of the vehicle from merchant M. J. Wil liams. The boys mother lives here in town, and the lady failed to get her money. What was the result? Uncle John gave his hoy such a heating that he will never forget it. If other parents would always do tins when they get into trouble it would save their children often from going to the chain gang. The chain gang is a poor place tore- form a boy. Our friend Mr. W. T.

If you want, to wear tho best pants the country affords for tho lenst money, they are easily found at Andkhson & .Tones’, Map Tillsoti delivered a very in teresting lecture on the arts of war to the cadets on Tuesday af ternoon. We had a very good thunder shower last Tuesday which will likely help some of tho minors needing water. A new feature has been added to the college course. This is the actual study in spelling. Dr. Avis uses practical judgment in what is necessary for a true education. Mr. W. H. Tatum, who was here i in college two years ago, is hack with the student body again. Mr. Tatum is from Dickons county, which is well represented in the college. The weather has boon warm and lino up to the present. Only too cold spells this winter until last Tuesday after a thunder shower. Two crops of several kinds of veg etables could have been raised here this year. G. W. Walker, Sr., was bound over by Com. Baker last Tuesday night, charged with owning and operating an illicit distillery. The still was located a short distance above his house and destroyed not long since. The peoplo of Dahlonega using electric lights last Tuesday night, were like Moses when the candle went out, caused Dy a bolt of lightning tboiafternoon before do ing somo damage to tho lino down about the plant. Tho clerks new book has been received for all those who wish to register and post their lands under the last act. The law requires this before you can keep hunters off of your property. 8eo the law pub lished elsewhere. We arc informod that tho pau per coffins hero cost the county from $10 up to twclvo or thirteen maybe. Why not have just one price coffin and buy all alike and not put one person away nicer than another? Homo made coffins for this purpose never use to cost over $6. One of the undertakers hero informed us that he would tako all round at $10 each. Why not let them out to the lowest bidder as a former grand jury recommended? This would reduce the cost consid erably. Tho small-pox scare is about over. The Kirkpatrick brothers aro most well after a very light attack, and there are no now de velopments. Not even Mr. Col lins, who roomed with these brothers all tho time lias developed a case yet, nor no one else. The authorities, both city and college, have taken extra precaution in this matter. How these young men caught tho disease is a mystery un less it was contracted by putting on some last years woolen under wear that might have brought tho germs here. These young men oc cupy a separate cottage in the drill field to those who were exposed to it. Their meals are carried and put down where they can come out and get them and no ono is en dangered in the least. They have a string band and while not read" ing enjoy themselves with their in struments. Mrs. Hatfield, in whose house the disease broke out, is also qunrranteed. The rooms occupied by the boys have been thoroughly fumigated. Tho Nugget will koep you postod Dy dealing in nothing but factB and you may all rest as sured of this. I)r. Brown of Dal ton, who has relatives in school, came in last week and after making an investigation, instead of taking his hoys home told them to keep on studying, for ho didn’t see any danger. The military exercises arc held ou the public square now. mt Mining Notes. The Singleton is moving along as well as 1 could lie expected with tho amount of water it has. Tho Copper mine in this county has closed down for a few days, wc understand, till they can de termine where to start their main shaft. Air. A. L. Dues-nberry of New York, has been here this week looking over tho Whim Hill prop erty with a view of purchasing it. If he does he will get something good for it is among the best mill" mg properties in Auraria district. The Huntington mills at tho Grown Mountain plant will Boon 1)0 removed for tlu> purpose of put ting light stamps in their places, so as to got ready to resume work. These Huntington mills lmyo in every ease been more expense than profit, in this oounty, easy to get out of fix, besides requiring much power to run them. Wo would bo glad for any in formation concerning the gold mines of this county. Nothing but facts are wanted. When wo tell our readers about a mine hero we want, him to Do ablo to como and find it just as well, if not bet tor, than represented. It pays no man, nor benefits any country to get up exaggerated reports about tho mineral resources of any sec tion. A gentleman passed the Calhoun mine while they wore cleaning up last week and informed us that, ho was shown gold in all shapes and sizes. The clean up was only about half done and the gold looked to be about 300 penny weights, said this old miner. Mi. Wharton, tho owner of the Cal houn, has mined also in the West. In the West whero labor was four dollars per day and everything olso high according, ho made a failure. Here he has met with good success. The prospecting on the Jumbo continues with unabated activity. The last, discovery was not only a rich voin but at least two hundred feot north of whore tho lead was supposed to have ended. This gives two hundred feet additional to the gold yielding zone. This vein has been cut in two places one hundred and fifty yards apart, showing beyond doubt its contin uity. We learn that in a new tunnel, just started, juBt north of shaft No. 1, two veins of good mill ore have been cut. If the discoveries of new veins of good oro count for any thing, Jumbo may already bo put down as one of the largest gold mines discover ed in this section or elsewhere. We learn that the work in the shafts is progressing rapidly and in ono of them another vein of mill ore has been touched. Tho management is preparing tho necessary data for their prospec tus, which will soon be issued and an advance in the price of stock announced, which the new discov eries now justifies. Mining is like everything else. If it is not conducted properly it will be a failure. Look at the cel ebrated Barlow when it was worked many years ago by Mr. Pride. It failed. Mr. Hand then purchased the mine and put Air. John Huff, our present ordinary in charge, and he soon got it in shape so as to make thousands of dollars, Mr. Tregont, tho present lesee is mak ing it pay now. Tho Singleton was the same way. While Mr. John Weaver worked it he made money. Then it changed hands and was a failure under its management. Mr, J. F. Moore then took hold of it and made big money, and the mine is paying today under Mr. W, G. Campbell’s management, Tho dredge boat business was the samo way. After several failed to mako anything Messrs. Birch Bros, sues coeded with tho management of Mr. Keenum as superintendent. They sold out to Messrs, Ingersoll & Crisson. They tried it awhile without much success. Now they have Mr. Keenum with them and aro doing well. It takes a man iu charge of a mine who understands his business to mako any kind of mining or any kind of business a success.
