Work was resumed again this

The mill tests of the ore already
made at. the Hand are satisfactory.
they
are down many hundred. The
deepest workings in Colorado, are
in the Revenue, Ouray county,
nearly 8,000 feet. The GeyBer
shaft in Custer county is 2,650
feet deep, and the California mine
on Quartz hill, Gilpen county, is
2,200 feet.- The deepest point in
the Newhause tunnel is a little
over 2,000'. The deepest shaft in
Cripple Creek is 1,500 feet, on the
American Eagles, owned by the
Stratton estatfe. Now, had the
Consolidated Company at Dhhlon-
ega spent its money on one shaft
instead of two or three it would
have known the value of the ore
several hundred feet below the
surface by this time ns well as tho
shallow diggings. The experience
of the first management has been
very dear to its owners, but we
trust and believe that they will yet
come out all right. They are on
the right track now. Mr. Ewing
will continue his tests till they
are completed and the mill aild
canal will be repaired and ready
to be run permanently by this
gentleman by the time he finishes
his othef work.
Disreputable Campaign Meth
ods.
The following story, vouched
for by a worthy citizen of Nor-
cross, shows some of the methods
resorted to accomplish tho defeat
of Mr. Tate:
“On tho day of the election Mr.
T.- M. Bell and Mr. T. F. Walker
went to Norcross from Milton
County, and from there T. F.
Walker sout the following tole-
gram to all tho precincts he coivld
reach by wire in the lower part of
tho district:
“There wero captured at Nor-
cross this morning by Dr. Dickens
$127 of Tate’s uiofiey and whiskey.
Now in hands of town marshal ait
Norcross. T. F. WAtoEff.”
“The town marshal at Norcross
denounces this telegram as false
and says he never even heard of
tho matter until his attention was
called to it two days after the elec
lion, aud that tire telegram was
sent out without fh'e slightest foun-
dation. T. F. Walker admits
sending the telegrams, and that
they were false, but says Mr. Bell
suggested that he send them. At
Toccoa and a number of other pre
cincts where these telegrams were
sent the man who received them
would get the attention of tho
crowd and read them aloud, and
then show them all around, as if
it were a prearranged matter. It
also stated that Mr. Bell, him
self, on his way from Norcross to
Gainesville, sent five copies of this
telegram from Suwanee in the
tiame of T. F. Walker.”
The above was published in tho
Cherokee Advance of some weeks
ago and has neVer been denied
that wo have noticed 1 . We do not
approve of any such methods of
campaigning and if Mr. Bell does
not make some explanation we wilf
beliove it and close our lips in bis
behalf, democracy or no douiocs
racy.
