Tic late Dr. Stephenson, who nn lor naoy
yrsrsstftto gcologht, nsed tossy that up to na
(the Indians took out large quantities from that
period to 1E5C) there was received at the Dahlon-
<ga mint over $10,000, and that large quantltiei
were carried away by non-resident miners. All of
tlil» cold r ns wr.!.hed from tbe placers. From ISM
to 1U* the 10 was but little done lu the mines,
fclncc then, on account of California discoveries
and the war, it Is Impossible to tell what hu been
youeded onto! tbe quarts by tbe thirty or forty
modern stamp mills since. But as innch or more
than was taken from tbe placers, and gold mining
in northeast Georgia Is yet bat In its Infancy. One
hundred million dollars annually lathe estimate
ol tbe production in tbe near future.
A writer Jn the Cherokee Advance sayv:
I am truly sorry that Mr. J. C. Courtney went
home under the impression thatToo-Kicb derived
Its name from being too nigh Canton, Woodstock,
and nowhere. An old Indian by the name of Too-
M*h was killed at tbe head of tbo creek upon
which Roberts'* mills are located—that is why oar
postofilco Is called Too Nigh.
Home twenty years or more ago It was no oom-
mon occurrence to pick up nuggets of gold
streets of Canton, and to go ont any time and
"prlu out" several dollars. It sooms that these
good old days of yore are partially returning, as
on last Tuesday morning Mr. Jerome Prince, a
Boston mineralogist, picked up a2 pwt, nugget of
gold In the yard of Mr. Jabcs Galt aad then, by tho
ucc of his Ingenious device for indicating mines,
Iccatcd a pretty good sfse vein right there in his
yard, which he says is rich and will pay to work.

of the letter to the commissioners was to de
mand of them that an investigation of the
countj officers should be made at once, and
thorough, without fear or favor.
For tome time past it has been
known that the county treasurer's books
were not in good shape, and an investigation
by tbo commissioners was not satisfactory. A

the county was free of debt, aad the people
are not satisfied with the rapid accumulation
of their obligations.

of a positive request to let tbe commissioners
alone and throw no obstacle in the way of the
investigation of the county's affairs. There
were also letters to the nowiptper propriet ora,
but the nature of theae letters were not mado
