Judge SHope of tho Briar Patch,
after making a contract with Mr.
Montgomery of Hall county,- for

Monday.
The noW Gorge darn will 1 not
likely fiT up till Sunday. The
wheels have already been tried and
the machinery fans like a top. So
in a short while now work will be
resumed at the Crown Mountain
mine.
For several days the fngersoll &
CrisBon dredge and the operations
at the Calhoun Were suspended on
account of the water being cut off
by the closing of the gate at tho
Gorge dam above.
Mr. Ashley has ordered a new
lot of machinery in order to make
d'change in the Working of his
dredge boat down in Dawson
connty and hopes to have it in op
eration at an early day.
The sixty days mill test at the
Hand will be finished at the end
of tho present month. Doubtless
arrangements will be made to con
tinue as wo learn that the results
so far have been very satisfactory.
The body of ore is large and fine.
We understand that the vein of
ore near No. 1 shaft, convenient
to the mill, measures about 41
ffeet across,
Mr. John IT. Jenkins is now at
work trying to strike the Jones
Vein. When discovered some yeara
ago thousands of pennyweights of
gold were taken from it in a few
days, but it was lost and several
have tried to strike it since With
out success. Maybe Mr. Jbnkins
will be the lucky man. We hope
so for it is one of the richest Veins
in this whole country.
They havo been unablfe to run
tlife Lockhart mill for some time
for want of sufficient water' power,
barely having enough to keep the
pomp moving, but still continue
taking out ore so as tb be ready to
start the mill when it is possible.
The ore was already good but du
ring the past few days the vein
lias become a great deal richer, en
abling them to take out 1 rock six
Or eight inches long perfectly
speckled with gold. Tho Lock
hart has already proven itself to
bo the biggest and richest deep
mine in this whole country. For
rriore than two hundred feet they
have been driving a tunnel out
from tllfe shaft, all the way
thrbiigli good pay ore, and have
not 1 yet’ been able to ascertain the
size of thickness of the vein.
It may be that the company will
secure electrical power from the
Gorge Co. At present all the
drilling is being done by* hand
wlii'ch is very slow and hard Work.
’Yet with this process of mining it
pays well when they can run the
mill.
DoWli at the Singleton Manager
Campbell struck it rich last Fri
day. Much gold can be Seen with
the nal’ted eye, and all that is nec
essary to make this mihe pay is
plenty of powef. The water is so
iow that they have to Catch it up
during tho day and run the mill
as long-as it hefts at night, some
times not being able t0' run longer
tlikn three hours, and the oto has
to be good fot it to pay operated
