Mineral Wealth of (lie N. B. and N. W.
Sect ions.
Georgia, a southern state, is ouo of
the foremost of the South.
The auriforous deposits in the South
are divided into three groups, of which
Georgia is the foremost. Alabama aud
North Carolina come uext. Virginia
beiug ou the Carolina zone.
It would require a great doal of time
to give a general desciiptiou of the
several counties in the North Eastern
and North Western section over which
I have travel'd, but my first object will 1
be to shew why so much prejudice has
existed ou the Georgia Gold mines and
to demonstrate briefly the enormous
mineral wealth, as well as the exten
sive area of the Georgia Gold Fields!
and in my study of the Georgia Gold
Fields, I have to acknowledge valuable
information and dates to the lion. Nes
bitt, Commissioner of Agriculture of the
State, aud Profs. Becker and Netz of
the United States Geological Survey
I am well aware of the fact that for
several years, a strong prejudice has
existed, and much doubt cast ou the
i itorgia gold mines, bat a few words
explaining the causes that have occa
sioned this feeliug, will no doupt be in
place and explaiu why it exists.
It must ba borne that gold
mining 20 or 30 years ago in this sec
tion, was a very different matter to
what it is now. To begin with, when
gold was first discovered in this country
it naturally followed that “everybody”
had a hand iu it.
Then cume the great “gold fever”
iu California, and not satisfied with
what they had here, the people made a
rush for that State—going through
great hardships on their long journey,
half of them dying ou the road. It is
uecessarv here to give an account of
the California gold fever and its results,
as it i 3 well known all over the world.
When most of them found out that it
was not fuch a great bonanza for
“everybody” they began to return this
way—-but jfiijat evil occurred,
The Civil War, which certainly did
ruiu the whole gold miniug enterprise,
and the heavy and disastrous losses
that the South has siuce felt, has taken
them all these years to recuperate.
A good recommendation for Sim
mons Liver Regulator is, that it is
purely vegetable and strongly tonic
Then too, it is Better than Pills be
cause easier to take in liquid or powder
aud with do griping, while the relief
from coustipation, Biliousuess, Sick
Headache and Dyspepsia is quick and
sure. “1 find Simmons Liver Kegula
tor a very safe and valuable family
medicine.”—Rev. J. M. Hollins, Fair
field, Va.
McDonough, ga., Friday, December u, ihob.
It naturally followed that those who
could Stave developed their properties,
w«?re It ft almost peuuylcss, and their
moral courage blighted.
Another very strong reason why this
section has not, ere this, become one of
the richest iu the world, is that it was
already a well settled farming country,
generally found in large plantation
tracts when gold was first sought after;
and such lands as were unoccupied,
were the property of the State Gov
ernment, which did not offer special
privileges and inducements to the de
velopment of the mining industry.
Hence the western system of numeral
lands and mining claims did not exist,
and the field was not opeued to the
individual professional prospector.
Practically the same conditon exists to
day. Another important fact is that
the companies who hold valuable tracts
of lauds have not explored nor develop
ed their properties to its full advantage.
Hardly anywhere, wiih the exception
of the “Franklin Mine” at Ball Ground,
Ga., Las any underground and deep
raining been even attempted.
On my visits to these mines I see
nothiug but tremendous “cuts” and so
called pitta that might be properly
termed “wastes,” the whole country
"hacked” literally about, and hardly
nowhere any systematic work done.
Everywhere it is clear, their object was
to gather all the loose gold they could
save, never giving a thought of future
developments aud of the necessity one
day to need the space they had washed
and ruined.
“It is very plain to a stranger, and
one competent in mining operations,
that none but the ‘crudest hands’ have
worked and reaped in this section.”
Some, would make a ‘ luckj find” iu a
pocket containing many thousand dol
lars, they would realize on this, and
leave that spot forever—nothing was
worth working where masses of gold
was aot discovered.
The U. S. Geological Survey for
years has spent large sums annually in
surveying the “Western Lands,” and
their ablest and most distiguished en
gineers employed for that purpose.
Aching Joints
Announce the presence of rheumatism
which causes untold suffering. Rheu
matism which causes untold suffering
Rheumatism is due to lactic acid in the
blood. It car.notbe cured by liniments
or other outward applications. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, removes
the cause of rheumatism and perma
nently cutes this disease. This is the
testimony of thoasauds of people who
once suffered the paras of rheumatism
but who have actually been cured by
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Its great
power to act upon the blood aud re
move every impurity is the secret of
the wonderful cures by Hood’s Sarsa
parilla.
The South received no such benefits,
and it is only since about two or three
years that a beginning has beet) made
in that direction, and the U. S. Geolog
ical Survey, in my;opinion, having
been skeptical to the Sxtreme of this
gold section, has at least, “discovered”
that the Southern Gold Belt is of mag
nitude aud that gold does exist in
quantities, both iu the full state as well
as in the rich sulphurejs.
Another evil has been that so called
miuers and agents have procured them
selves options upon options on proper
ties of value and otherwise, aud have
indiscriminately swamped the markets
with them, with the object of real
izing themselves a sum’ of mouey, to
the detriment of the credulous owner
aud false representations to the itives
tor. liaviug beeu so frequently dup
ed, the owners are naturally diffident,
and for several years their conditions
and prices have been prohibitive. Be
sides which many of these lands were
in litigation or the titles were not clear,
and this no doubt occasioned many
failures in bringing the Itusiuess to a
successful issue. At the present time
matters have changed—'(the geologists,
both Federal and of the State, are raak
ing up for lost time, anti! they realize
now, the great wealth iu minerals their
state possesses. Machinery has im
proved to an alarming eixtent, and is
50 per cent cheaper than 30 years ago,
good roads have been built and rail
ways are in existence iu>„ proximity of
the miues.
No country cau give' more advan
tages than this one. Everywhere
there is an abundance of water power,
and nature lias preparod the hills and
streams for proper and teasy mining.
The climate is one of - the best and
moat salubrious on the globe. Labor
is in a sense cheap, and the laborer is
a hard, conscientious worker, strikes
among the working class being abso
lately unknown. If the laborer is as
sured of his daily pay, he will strictly
adhere to his contract. A great bless
ing exists here—“they have no laborer
leaders.” If a foreign corporation
c imes here -to develop tfeeir country,
all the rnd iWfanfs "and authorities Sr
the country are ready to give them all
the assistance in their power, being al
ways grateful to tinse who bring work
and prosperity nmoug them, and they
take an unselfish pride to see such on
cerns prosper. They are honest, boa
pitable and .thriving people. Every
thing the inhabitant has he is willing to
share.
Some 25 million dollars worth of
gold is tbestated production of Georgi i
since its first discovery of gold, and
this has almost all been derived from
Placer mining, including bottoms and
side hills and auriforms, decomposed
rocks and vein autocraps, and “that”
iu the primitive method described—rot
forgetting that a large amount of .he
gold saved has never beeu officially do
dared, for the reason that thereby gold
tax is saved; and we can but come to
the conclusion that no other gold sec
tion offers as many valuable advanta
ges and has a greater future.
The conditions and prices of these
lands are such that they will make the
enterprise feasible aud profitable.
This applies especially to Lumpkin,
Dawson, White aud Hall counties.
Iu conclusion, it is my firm belief
that the Georgia Gold Fields are uni
que, and that when proper capital wiil
como and systematically', scientifically',
and judiciously, develop its enormous
deposits, it will excel without auy
doubt South African or other fields
and become onn of the richest iu the
world.
In developing its rich gold fields, it
will also bring iu prominence its other
rich minerals and timbers-, building up
for Georgia’s prosperity and plenty,'
and to the inventor very large and con
tinuous returns.
Sir Robert Montgomery in 1717 ex
pressed himself as follows of Georgia:
“It is the most delightful country in the
Uuiverse. Nature has not blessed the
world with any tract which can be
preferable to it. Paradise with all its
virgin beauties may be modestly sup
posed at m >st equal to its native excel
lencies.” J. O. A.
We all know that any tired muscle
can be restored by rest., Your stomach
is a muscle. Dyspepsia is its manner
of saying “I am tired. Give me reßt,”
To rest the stomach you must do its
work outside of the body.
This is the Shaker’s method of cur
ing indigestion, and its success is best
attested by the fact that these people
are practically free from what is with
out doubt the most prevalent of all dis
eases. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
not ouly contains digested food which
is promptly absorbed without taxing
the tired digestive organs, but it is
likewise an aid to the digestion of oth
er foods iu the stomach. A 10 cent

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THREATKNKD CONSUMPTION,
A Typical Case of Catarrh Cured l»y
Dr. Hartman’s Kree Treat
ment.
A farmer’s wife has been troubled
from childhood with catarrh. Until
within the last few years, she has not
beeu treated for it. But it has become
so much aggravated that she consults
her physician. He treats her and she
perseveres faithfully, without avail, for
months. Then she tried a physician
iu the city, Although his charges are
exorbitant, her husband gladly pays
them; but she gets no better. The
farmer in despair, sees his wife growing
psler aud weaker every day. A cough
sets iu, and consumptiou is near.
At last they read about Peru ua.
The husband writes to Dr, Hartman
and receive an eucouragiug aud sym
pathetic answer. They continue the
correspoudence all the while she takes
Peru na, rnceiviug new advice and
new assistance in every letter. Her
symptoms leave her one by one. Her
color returns. Her cough ceases. At
last she is well. In her gladness of
heart she writes to Dr. Hartman, anx
ious to have her euro told to others
that they also may be saved.
Such is the history of a typical tea
timonial used by Dr. Hartman in his
hooks. Ono of these books will be
sent free to any address by The Pe-ru
