The action of the city council of
Macon in refusing to place a spe
cial thx upon tho newspapers, for
the reason that they are public
benefactors, causes the Dublin
Courier to sny “this is the true
way to look at the work that a
nowspaper does for a community.
A paper gives publicity to every
enterprise undertaken and is al
ways engaged in doing something
for the community and its people.”
A man who roads will think,
find thinking enables him to reach
safe conclusions. In every avenue
of life men should read some
wholesome literature bearing on
their respective vocations and
thereby better qualify them for
the work. No man can bo a help
ful citizen without keeping up
with tho affairs of his country,
hence he needs his home paper,

Journal
ascertained but present indications
arc that it will not only prove
large but rich. It seems that a
shaft, drift or tunnel in any direc
tion on this property cuts into
gold bearing quartz veins. Some
rich and some good mill ore, but
all carry values in gold.
The McAfee-Lin Mine continues
to produce the yellow metal in
paying quantities. At tho end of
3 his is the second test run and is
far better than they were expcct-
I ing, and they are now busily en
gaged in installing more stamps,
putting in pump and a long line
j of sluice ways bo as to flood the
ores from the hills to the stamps,
j This fine property lies between the
Briar Patch and tho Fry proper
ties, and embraces one of the fin
est saprolito belts in the whole
country, and when once equipped,
as they are determined to do, the
whole mining country will lie ben-
efltted by the fine demonstrations
they will lie able to make.
The first week of the new year
with its bright sunny skies and
mild weather was a great help to
wards the finishing of the dam on
the Etowah river at the “Jose
phine.” When Saturday night
came tho doors were closed down
and it was only a short time on
flow over
tho new dam, all complete with
the exception of two new gates
which are likely done and in po
sition by this time. It has been
a tedious job, and there has been
days that were very cold, yet for
all that the men have worked
faithfully, fearing there would
come a spell of high water. From
now on all the energy will be cen
tered on the mill and mine, so
when the latter is completed there
will be plenty of ore ready to
work. The outlook from a mi
ners standpoint for the “Jose
phine” is very flattering. There
are very few mines that can com
pare with it in location and water
privileges. And as to the gold
leads sho is surpassed by none.
“Seeing is believing.” So come
and see for yourself and you will
be shown tho property and have
the privilege of seeing some of the
fineBt pannings taken from tho
many different veins that abound
in the hills, valleys, branches and
river of the “Josephine”. Turn
up the lights of the twentieth cen
tury on the mines of Lumpkin
county, Georgia! and keep your
eye on tho “Josephine mine”, for
she is coming to the front.

Mr. Wm. Hebert of Chattnnoo- fcil tllG w,,fcer bo « an {
ga, Tenn., who has been prospect
ing for mica in the upper portion I
of this county since last July,
passed through Dahlonega on his
way home one day last week. Ev
ery thing seems to be favorable
for him, forfiafter getting out sam
ple^ and testing the property thor
oughly the gentleman purchased
several lots"where it was discover
ed in Chestatoe dislrict.
The Ingersoll & Crision dredge
boat didn’t get to run but two and
a half days last week but the clean
up was splendid. Thirty penny-
weights of nuggets were in the lot.
The boat is now operating on this
side of the-river on the Price and
Satterfield lot. When they run
up as far as desired the boat will
be floated back down tho riyer so
as to work the banks on the far
side—it being better to workup
fcsream than down.
The Briar Patch is moving out
in good shape. Quite a crowd of
men are at work cutting canal and
reservoirs on this side of the river
preparatory to installing another
hydraulic lift. Jack Norrell has
made some new openings in the
hills near Ramsey and Gold Hill
shafts that are good for weak eyes,
and also uncovered some very rich Q n
gravel in the placer last week that
is not bad, only panning from six
grains to one dollar per pan.
One among the largest Western
mining companies of Colorado has
had a man looking over the Geor
gia gold fields for several weeks,
and at last settled on a good pioce
of property near the McAfee-Lin
Mining Co’s and the Briar Patch
properties, and lias eight men at
work cutting tunnels and drifts,

What Ticket Will
W. P. Price Run?
Mu. Editor:
1 noticed in last week’s Nugget
that you intimated that Col. W.
P. Price might run for the legisla
ture. How will he run? Will he
make an independent race, or will
he put his name before the demo
cratic primary? Guess the Colo
nel will not do the latter unless his
mind has changed within the past
few years, for it strikes me that
he was against primaries when the
democrats first commenced to or
ganize this county and the gen>
tie man wroto a letter for publioas
tion, advising the voters to stay
out of tho primaries.
Mr. Editor, hunt this letter up
and republish it. It might make
interesting reading matter now.
