tr, atopping at the boUae of a gen
Ueman named Ellis, at Obicamanga,
twelve at Ilea from tbia city. He
igave tbe oaiba of Winkles, and bis
bnilneas aa that of a prospector of
the unseen treasures of mother
earth. - For years be bad delved
lamong tbs gold and silver mines bf
Nevada anJNew Mexico. Ha bad
ibann seat by acbmpany to. Chicago
•t# pdibhaaa machinery for smelting
stbrprocidua ores. After reaching
Obfcsgo tbe old man thought of the
aloritv be bad heard of gold and
'•iWer In North Georgia and deter-
mlued to investigate for himself
befofo ‘returning to New Mexico.
<H4 bed-> reasons' for believing as
rich mines existed in the South as
anywhere else, ahd all needed to
prove th4-fact wav its development,
air. Winkles walked fron Ohicka-
-mauga down tile Western and At-
•Watio vallroad walclilug tor Indies-
Mona of bidden wealth on hla weary
tiwbpi' until he had reached Port
*# Copnlla mbuntain, which is fifty
wiles from this city and six miles
'front‘Spring Place, Georgia. He
protpealed on this mountain, trav-
iellng to a point about twelve miles
fmn‘the railrOad.''Here, from sur
face indications, the old man felt
‘that he bhd “(track it rich.” Tbe
rbagb‘ mountaineers bad liea-d sto
Aisi dC'IntliaM minlng in that re-
gioU j tnany stated ihst the fsmous
iDeSoto bad on this very spot fonnd
riches and abandoned them.
./"At the'present time an old fur-
inace 'and tho .existence of dross
‘show ‘that the looality bad been
worked years belore. Mr. Winkles,
with his few associates, labored for
about six months, when bis labors
wera rewarded with' discoveries he
typnght worthy of assays. With
.a .carpetbag lull of specimena be
wendc(lbla way!.to this city, where
.tbpy , wpro exhibited. People
^bought he was a crank and laugh
ed at pie glowing accounts of the
hidden wealth he had discovered.
Many wqre puked Jo assist him in a
financial point of view, for he wea
at the time “dead broke,” but bis
ores wero pronounced “N. G." by
the {knowing ones. Finally ho en
Hated tbe assistance of six men.
caoh of $ham agreed to furnish a
small, a«m of money with which to
wprk tbe “claim.” This was about
slit weeks ago, The lands on which
tbe mines were discovered were
purchased on conditions, and the
small oompany. went to work with
§ hearty good will. Correspondence
baa regularly passed between the
era and their friends in this city
„ vicinity. The mountain has
a, penetrated only fifteen or
qty.fee^and tunneling hat just
been commenced. Solid masses of
pro bavq, been encountered from
,tbc. beginning, and tbe deeper tbe
.miners go the richer is the yield.
The first sissy a made averaged
|2.40 per ton, the second assay
averaged $10, and tbe third and
last ..assay ma^le shows an average
of $100 per ton or ore. The value
increases as tbe mountain is pene
trated. and some specimens taken
"Will' hasay $2,000 to tbe ton.
l Thtdeptb'ofthe u lead”is unknown,
and its richness beyond commute-
‘ ''J^hong tb'6 gentlemen whose ser-
I'Meer were enlisted in the enter-
priai waa Mr. 8mUta Steveuaon, of
Chickataauga, who, however, bad
’Wit tittle confidence In tba wander-
Tag mtaerV 1 representations, and
hrao did more or leas “kicking”
when called upon for an additional
Appropriation to push matters.
Finally, to get rid or what he con
sidered U “White Elephant,” be
'liOld hie claim to Waltei Anderson,
OTSpring Place, Ga., for $300. A
letttr was received a few da vs ago
'Stating that Hr. Anderaon had been
'oflbrfa'and refused $8,000 for hla
“claim," which was only one-sixth
of tbs'company's stock.
Mr! Winkles states that, In an
experience of tnaay years in the
talking districts of tbe Weat, he has
aeon bat two “leads” be considers
wealthier tkXn those now being
workM in North Georgia, which
bsM been named the “Legal Ten-

Comatook, in Nevada, and ono lo

ing diatriotS’ of New Mexico, if
loneteh obtained that will assay

edjtpiy rich, and can ba transport

’»Wboagh Mr. Winkles would be

subject of.mining, be ts a. shrewd,

I Fell in a Day!
icially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
whfThad made up numerous stocks from materi*
jht 911 credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
Uttjtd .profitable Septemher trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do hut to fail and tum their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad'for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are’ always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
-Waxhlbarim was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars;.we bought Thirty-Three Thousand, more in Boys, Chil
drens and 1 Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock Monday Morning
anditflwiH be to The interest of every one in this city or fcountry
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods,
