The decision affects 100,000 em ployes and adds 1441 hours of la bor annually to each employe’s time. 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, truthfully remarks the Marietta 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. THE OLD RELIABLE Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE make it yield big returns to tin stockholders. 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, and we expect to have something good to report from them in in our next week’s issue, and will then tell who 1 they are. Watch Tins Nugget for all the latest re liable mining nows. Work lias beon resumed on tho Jumbo with a full force of hands. A drift has been started west from shaft No. I. This is new ground. Within six feet of the beginning two small veins were cut. One free milling. The other sulphu- rets. Both pan to bo rich. Since another voin was struck a few feet from the above mentioned. This is sulphuretted and while it has not been cut through it is believed to be the big vein which lies near to or on the hanging wall of the lead. It pans to be as rich in free gold as the other sulphuretted vein cut. It will probably be a day or two before the extent or its appear in' worth *40 cents i;t seem to The one at > 1303 $17,- in tling a 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. An Organized Democrat.
