As we stated last week the cop
per nunc in this’county had closed
down for awhile until they could
decide where to locate their main
shaft, so it was said. Our notion
is that the company will not start
up again until they have some as
surance of transportation. I hey
have abundance of material there
but it is not worth a dollar to its
owners unless they can get rail
road facilities. Much money has
already been spent by the compa
ny in development work with the
hopes of getting a railroad, but
our belief is now that very few
more will be expended uutil they
specially invited.
Every body come!
Our old friend and patron, Mr.
R. C. Wood, after spending sov"

miles above Dahlonega, returned
to his winter home at Defuniak

wish him a safe journey and a
quick return to our city.

Messrs. John Huff and F. V
Moose have their lift now in oper

and the prospects for a good yield

both native miners of many yeare
experience in the business and we
feel confident of their success.
There is nothing new to report
from Crown Mountain. The work
at the Gorge is being steadily
pushed. Tho belated parts of the
machinery is nearly all delivered.
It takes time, money and work to
build a forty-five foot dam and
haul the machinery thirty miles.
The waters are so low that it is
hardly probable that the mill
will bo started up before tho new
power is installed. Interested
parties will have to exercise “yet
a little more patients.
Mr. Jaquish, who is getting his
mine ready for operation down
near Auraria, was in the city a
short while the other day. The
gentleman feels sure of succoss be
cause ho has a good gold mine and
plenty of water to operate it with
on his own property, convenient
to the mine without having to dc"
pend upon any one else for it. Be
sides this, lie expects to employ
those acquainted with this belt to
carry on the work, coupled with
his sound judgment.
Another now and valuable min
eral has just been discovered in
this county, being a vein of Plum
bago, used for cedar pencils. It
was found a few days ago up in
Yahoola district on property be
longing to Mr. Thomas Lee. The
vein is near the line of Mr. John
Battler’s land and no doubt can
be cut in his as it runs in that
direction. You need not give old
Lumpkin out oven if she has no
railroad facilities, but she is now
furnishing the power to run cars
in an adjoining county, and we
trust at some near future day
Lumpkin will have tho privilege
of enjoying railroad facilities her
self.
Tho Lockhart continues to move
right along, under the supervision
of Mr. Thomas McDonald and
others, with splendid results.
This has always been considered a
good mine and is right where the
big Consolidated Co.’s mill ought
to have been located. The Hand,
Lockhart and Findley, should be
owned by the same company, (as
the three aro with the excep
tion of a few stockholders), then
tho mill could have been supplied
with ore from both sides, under
neath and kept it continuously
running both day and night on
free milling ore. The ore shows
free gold at the Lockhart now and
they think they have cut into the
edge of the 12 foot vein.^
In our last issue wo reported
another rich vein cut on the Jum
bo, with a thickness of eighteen
inches. We now learn that upon
going down on this vein a ; w feet
it proved to be over three feet ft*id
equally as ich if not richer.
This any where o.L wo Id he con
sidered a big gold mine. The vein
runs through the property, is eV .
vated—can be cheaply worked—
being a down grade from the cuts
to the mill site. On Saturday
last a vein was cut on the extreme
western part of the property which
we are informed is by far the best
thing yet, found. The vein at
cut is about two feet thick, and
while no gold is visible to the
naked eye, the panning is extra
ordinary. There has been so
many rich veins found on this
property that it is hard to dis
tinguish which is the best, bufc
there seems to lie no end to the
number, and like many other
good things, the last seems al
ways to be the best. Tho work is
running on as usual in the shafts,
cuts and tunnels, and with results
that oven astonishes the natives
here, who have been acquainted
with the properly all their lives.
