W.tf.do not have to go to Rabun*
county to see how the water rights
our - of taaiuing company’s are cared for.
It has-been passed upon in our
own county. Many of our read
ers will remember some years ago
when the owner of Cavendcrs Creek
Gold Mine cut a lung expensive
canal to supply his property with
more water. As soon as comple
ted Mr. Pratt had him served with
an injunction suit, as it took the
water from above his plant and
emptied it into the river below,
Aud now the Pyrites dam, then
owned by Mr. Pratt, cannot be
raised a bit higher, matters not
how much the water is needed,
without beiug enjoined by the As-
burys, who own mineral property
above. Look nt t-be Liberty Bell
Mining Co., who spent a vast sum
of money in Auraria District, cut
a . anal aud run a long line of big
expensive pipes up the side of the
road towards the John Hutcheson
old place, and were enjoined from
turning the water into it. Now
some contend that the water tak
en from above the Barlow and oth
er mines down to the Chestatee
river, would be so little for the
our waterworks that t would’t af
fect the mines. Then it would
be a'very slim system of sewerage
and water works. When the Por
ter farm was first sold by the min-
iug company it reserved the min
eral iuterest. Now if a move was
made to mine any of this proper
ty how could it be done without
thn water in the branch from these
springs? These placer diggings
may bejworth more to the compa
ny in the way-of damages, than to
work it, like the Raburu county
mine.

The girls from Bowden College
came up last week and played ball
with the young ladies here, losing
the game. We have wondered if
none but pretty yoking ladies play
oall. If not sve have never seen
any of the ugly players. The visit

the fine instructor who lived here

An effort has been mpde for
some time to strike one of those
rich pockets of gold at the Findley

since our time. Do not know be

Civil War, which attracted much
attention, and its richness is not yet
forgotten. We (have seen the gold
that came from several of them,
yet none of the many thousands
of pennyweights ever gave us the
gold fever. The formation is very-
hard aud no trace of gold from one
to, the other. We have known

Wo notice that another comet is
to show up in June. But this will
be a small one and uo danger pre

was predicted by the dust one?
That in passing over its tail might
drag on the ground and destroy
the whole earth, having thousands
of people uneasy. Some of them

tor of the Methodist church at
that time. He had something to
say about the big comet every time
nearly he met any body. And at
night would preach a short ser

as 60011 as he finished. Was a good
man and a fine preacher, yet he
could not bear the thoughts of get-
ting tangled up in a comets tail. It
may be that some people when re

steady in the boat without raising
auy excitement among any of th.e

because when a barefooted boy at

couraged and quit and pull out and
stop. Then after a while another
miner would go in, drive to one
side or the other and maybe strike
a big nest of gold where it had
been passed only an inch or so by
the other fellow who had missed
his good hick.
Many years ago there was a store
and a bar kept in the lower story
of the building occupiad by Dr.
Cantrell for an office, and Mr.
Robert Moore as a residence. Both
were owned by W. C. Perry, an
old citizen who has long since pass
ed on. The bar was in the rear.
And when a man got through
trading, or even before, he would
pass through the door into the li
quor department and be accommo
dated. The liquor was pure and
didn’t make people go wild like
that manufactured now. Every
body had money in those days. If
one didn’t have money he had
gold dust, which was easy' to be
gotten then. The uiiuiug proper
ty was not in the hands of foreign
and if a native
didn’t have such property of his
own he could lease from one ofjhs
neighbors. Then instead of the
boys going to the Ball ground after
a late mornings nap and breakfast
you would see them starting out
early to the mines every morniug
with their father, where they work
ed a week before cleaning up.

sell it and buy tilings for the fami
