The time is about up for the United States Leather Co. to take the timbered lands bargained for in this county some lime ago from Messrs.

A man from an adjoining coun ty last Monday wanted to sub scribe for tho Nugget, but because he couldn’t get it like his county paper, T5 cents a year lie didn’t take it.

This shows what industry will do. There arc hundreds of acres of land in Lumpkin county that would pioduce as well if the people owning it would show more industry. 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" oral months on his property a few miles above Dahlonega, returned to his winter home at Defuniak Springs, Fla., last Tuesday. We wish him a safe journey and a quick return to our city. Why don’t you subscribe for a Nugget of your own and not des pend upon borrowing one every week?

Mr. Will Childers, after an ab sence from Dahlonega for some time, returned again this week. When Will takes a notion to leayc a place he disappears almost ns suddenly as a ghost, and comes back tho same way. This clever fellow use to live hero and we all like him.

The present adoption of school hooks for Lumpkin county has been out foi nearly a year and the patrons and teachers are getting along with the least hooks possible until the state board decides upon the kind to use.

The officer jumped of the ordinary, was the only per son in the office at the time and when he got ready to go out be closed the door after him as usual and locked it, not thinking of Uncle Dick, and went home. Wtien Uncle Dick thought the mail was about up he made an effort to get out but found the door locked. He knocked, thumped and yelled, but no one was near enough to hear him and he got no relief. Then Uncle Dick raised the sash of one lived in Dahlonega nearly 50years with no railroad and think we can tough it out to our journeys end Mr. W. G.

V Moose have their lift now in oper ation over on the Chestatee river and the prospects for a good yield .of gold is very bright. They have- already struck new gravel that pans well. These gentlemen aro 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.
