roasted to a red aud not a white

becomes thoroughly desulphurized

'Georgia at that time were pre
emptible, numerous parties al
lured by the reports of these dis

these lands and mined for gold.
The results were so favorable, that
the government established a
branch of the United States mint

of a few years a vast amount of
gold was derived fr-mi the alluvial
