It 4s perfectly well understood, but
Editor Perham hastens to anticipate
the Atlanta papers, and slate that the
lady who will run for congress in Cali
fornia, once stayed all night in Atlanta.
In the McLendon matter one aged
senator voiced an ancient, but perti
nent and regrettable truth when he
cried, “What is the use of talking to
people who have already made up
their minds?”
Sunday School Superintendent—“ E
lsie, can you tell me anything about the
epistles?” Little Elsie—“l guess
they vt ere the wives of the apostles.”
Which sounds reasonable, yet they
were really the offspring of the only
incorrigible old bachelor in the lot.
'1 he Macon News takes a very dis
torted view of conditions when it tries
to make out that McLendon's fall is
any Joe Brown funeral. The Brown
ites may have laid a few wreaths on
Guyt'n coffin, but that was merely
from their natural goodness of heart
and comparison for a corpse deserted
by its friends.
“Col. Watterson is not the only ob
server who predicts that the tariff
question will yet split the Republican
party. The noise of the splitting may
be heard even now,” says the Phila
delphia Times But the blamed thing
is just like a jointed snake the split
off parts will all crawl together again
before next election day,” says the
Jacksonville I’imes- inion.
To those of our esteemed contempo
raries whom Mr. McLendon's fall lias
excited to a mid-summer madness, we
would extend the thoughts that prob
ably Georgia will survive, the port
rate war will still be carried on by the
attorney of the Atlanta freight bureau,
street railway l>onds will continue to
find casual purchasers and there will
befall no lack of candidates for the
office of railroad commissioner, the job
having been made less uncertain and
precarious by recent legislation.
GEORGIA'S GOLD.
Dm work of E. I’. Jones, assistant
State geologist, on “Gold Deposits in
Georgia,” which i- ju-t published by
the State geological department, is a
valuable contribution to the people of
our great commonwealth, as well as
to the outside world, whose interest
in gold can scarcely lie considered as
one secondary to any other. The book
is a comprehensive discussion of the
gold deposit' . f the entire State, and
is ottered as the introductory chapter
says, “a contribution to the economic
geology of Georgia with the aim of
furnishing to interested parties com
prehensive, and as far as possible, de
finite idea.' of the Sta e’s gold depos
it' and their minting possibilities.”
Whih that part of the general sub
ject, which bear' upon it- economic
importance, i- tin tir-t consideration
of the work, there is much interest
and iiistru<-lion in the scientific aspect
of tin origin ;f the deoo-its .m-t their
study and chemical analysis of the
rocks of gold tearing areas.
The author is strongly convinced
that the gold deposits in Georgia are
not appreciated a- they should lie, and
thinks that the attention of capitalists
and mining men will in time surely
come to a fuiier realization of their
important e.
Mr. Jones’ interesting book can
scarcely fail to stimulate a new inter
est in thisbrancnof the State’s wealth
and industry, and certainly it would
seem that Georgia’s gold deposits
should Ire made to produce a va-t
amount of wealth that is now over
looked.
?.t one time the Stale of Georgia
was considered one of the greatest
gold producing States in the country,
but in the furore, which the opening
up of the gold Hehls of California and
the West, attention wasdiverted from
Georgia and her mining interests
abandoned for the more abundant,
easily worked and promising deposits.
Following ujKin the discovery of Cal
ifornia gold and the rush westward
for this industry, came the civil war
and the consequent demoralization of
business in Southern States for along
period of years. With the return of
business development the revival of
gold mining interests came atsiut only
to a limited extent, and under condi
tions that tended to discourage and
discount the real value of Georgia
gold deposits.
Mr. Jones tells us that it is the
opinion of mining engineers, familiar
with the Georgia fields, that, if the
deposits of a similar character existed
in any of the more important gold
producing States of the West, that
they would have been much more
extensively exploited. With abund
ant water —and in many eases abun
dant water power available, with
1 plentiful timber for construction pur
pose's ami also cheap fuel, with a pio
pitious and kindly climate and with
ailway facilities close to the gold
producing districts, the author see
bright promise of an awakening to
our opportunities ami a rich devel
opment.
A very valuable feature of the
book is an elaborate report, giving
a lull showing of the various gold
yielding areas of the State.
The report is one which is deeply
interesting ami well worth cartful
study and consideration. Copies of
tin* report may lie had upon applica
tion to Professor S. N. McCallie,
State Geoologist, Atlanta.
