COLD MIKING IN GEORGIA.
'^Bl Aboard.” uried conductor Cooper as
las waved bis hand at the engineer at Mil*
fciteeville and the train was soon gliding
smoothly, if not rapidly towards Eatonton.
Skat hardly had we started, when the jingle
off the tin cup at the water cooler attract*
attention to a rough but honest looking
Mountaineer, who in a clear voice was say-
—I haven’t had a good drink of water
«ucee I left Lumpkin. They’ve got no such
water down here as that out of the Moun-
* laics of old Lumpkin.
"Then you are from about Dahlonega?”
asked I.
«'Xes,”6aid he *T am mining up there
and my friend and I have just been down
to bring two patients to the Asj-
Cum.”
"You are going in the wrong direction
. are you not?”
"Yes.” said they, “but we brought our
iratients through by private conveyance to
Eatodton, because the friends of the pa-
tltecrts prefered it and we are on our way
^aoSc there to get our horses and go
«ftow is business up there m the mining
* Ima?” ’
“Well, pretty fair, but you know gold
naning is like every other business, there
is no royal road to wealth. It is hard work
*nd although orten times encouraging, it
rs, upon the whole, not more certain than
iuay thing else, for where one may strike a
buswmza and come out a millionaire, huu-
-dieds of others lose their all.”
"How much do you generally make per
"Weli. some times when we strike a rich
Kieket, we do pretty well, and then again
wodo nothing. For instance, last week I
-teas working along, getting out about a
li«nnyweight a day, when we struck a
i-wh “pocket” and got from forty to forty
sCx pennyweights a day for seveial days,
vrfien ail at once that “pocket” gave out
as*d C worked on then for a week without
‘striking a color.”
"What do you mean by that?”
"It Is an expression among miners that
simply we did not ffnd a particle of
*uM.”
"JLt the mines they do not speak of so
«iany dollars worth of gold, but so many
t*enay weights, each pennyweight of gold
Ueing worth just oue dollar, and it Is
used there in that way as money.”
"What is the best paying mine there
«ww?”
■“The Hand Gold Mining Co.^ is an ex
pensive concern, and has been running a
ior*g time, and then there is the Battle
Uranoh and other claims, t hat have been
■ >aying well, but tiie Pigeon Boost is about
tho best paying mine there now. It is
paying now about $3,000.00 per month.
There are quite a variety of modes of get
ting: out gold that have been tried, and
toandreds of machines and devices have
&aon invented, but nearly all are laid aside
for: tiie Primitive Old Stamp mill, and the
for individual mines, notable to afford
machinery, of washing the dirt in pans,
and collecting the gold with quicksilver.
The mills consist of large wooden stamps
>cx or eight inches square and eight or ten
feat long, covered on the ends with heavy
reoa fends, that are lifted by machinery
xnd dropped upon the gold bearing rocks
till beaten into a powder, when a current of
'-water washes the powdered rock through
mills, over a broad copper plate coated
with quicksilver. The quicksilver having
aa affinity for gold catches it all from the
jnowder no wing over the plates and forms
it into an amalgam—in the form of a coat
«?ver the plates. This amalgam is then
scraped off and subjected to heat when the
<juicksilver passes off in the form of yaper
ie-iving the pure gold in a lump. Those
uuo.blw to afford machinery and who use
tfic simple panning process apply the
same principle. They pulverize the gold
■arein iron mortars, then putting it into a
{van wash off the lighter portions, then put
in quicksilver, which forms the amalgam
arxl burn it out in the same way as is done
■an a luge scale by the mills. The usual
plan of mining is to blast out where the
rack is large and hard and dig out the
dirt with picks where not too hard. Most
■of t!i- mines there are soft dirt and instead
of 'Jigging down the sides of the gulch
they use hydraulic pipes and hose—a hy-
«1 oil:lie machine, the “Little Giant,” by
• ru-sans of which they cut down the bluff
vnlh a powerful stream through the hose
where the gold is caught as before des
cribed.
Mining however was such a common-
place topic with our Mountaineer friends
tuey seemed to prefer to talk of something
-alfie—but still they said that while there
wc.’us much gambling and drinking among
laaiuer.s, they were as a class a good heart
ed generous set. Oue was ever ready to
divide his last pennyweight with one in
distress whether friend or stranger—and
tii® miners were of a better class of people
tiuxi of former years.
luvy expressed themselves as amazed
the magnitude of the Asylum,and pleas
ed. not only with its officers and the man*
«gement but were surprised, to use their
ejrwu language, that “they should have
treated two rough mountain boys with so
-much courtesy and politeness.” One said
iut had “always loved old Georgia aud been
<lcoud of her all his life—but that since he
had seen the Asylum he loved her more
and was more proud of her than ever and
that if f-ver he lost his reasoning faculties
ire wanted his lriends to send him right
* re."
Rut by this time a long whistle drowned
'us voice, a jar and jingling of the coup
lings announced that we were about to
stop, when the brakeman opened the door
and in a steretyped tone called out “Eaton-
tam.’' and our Mountaineers gathering
ssich baggage as they had, said “Good bye
stranger. Our names are and
arid we work in Pigeon Roost mine. If you
ever come to Dahlonega hunt us up and
and we’ll give you the best we’ve got iu
• tne shop.”

Died—On Wednesday night last, at
his residence in this city, Mr. Silas
JLeonard, aged about 65 years. He
was long a resident of this county, a
carpenter by occupation, aud while
Lis health lasted he was an industri
ous anti useful citizen. His health
lias been bad for several years, and
for a month past he has been unable
xg attend to any business. He was a
man of whom it might be said he
harmed no one and he probably had
no enemies. He leaves a wife and
four children to grieve over their ir
reparable loss and his remains were
consigned on Thursday, last by sym
pathising friends to their last resting
pfcace in our city cemetery.

College Notes.
New pupils are coming in every
day and the college is on a regular
boom.
The College choir is the best (?) in
the city. It is composed of two so
pranos, one alto, one tenor and two
bass.
There is a little “Bird” whose
“song” is often heard around the
college walls. He enchants the flow
ers especially the “Lillies.”
Strange to say, nearly all the girls
at college are stout. Study agrees
with them.
Taffy Tolu and Black Jack are all
the rage.
There’s a “General” hide and seek
every day at recess, on Wayne street.
The young Jadies’ Literary Society,
under, the Presidency of >Miss Eliza
beth Lamar, is progressing fin’ey.
“Buzzard Roost” is still the favor
ite resort for college boys.
We feel very proud of one of the
cadets, who has turned out to be a
most eloquent poet. His latest work,
“Still Waltz” has been set to music,
and is highly appreciated by those
who can read it.
What is wheat- w hen it comes on
the table? was asked by one of the
Prof’s, to a 3rd class. “Batter cakes'
was the prompt reply.
Stevens Pottery, >
October 11th, 1886. >
Editors Union & Recorder :
With avorable weather two cT
three more weeks will gather the
crops. Corn is above an average, but
cotton is not over two-thirds, and
with the low price prevailing farmers
are decidedly gloomy. Many say
they cannot pq,y their debts but “hope
springs eternal in the human breast”
and they will try again.
The result of the recent election
proves that men blinded by prejudice
and passion will go against their bet
ter judgment.
Died, on Saturday last, of typhoid
fever, Miss Rebecca Bloodworth, the
youngest child of Air. and Mrs. Ches
ley Bloodworth. Pure and lovely as
the flowers she loved so well in life, her
death casts a sorrow over the commu
nity which only time can eiface. To
the aged and bereaved parents and
brothers and sisters, whose sorrow is
too deep for words, we tender our
sincere sympathy.
Rev. G". G. Smith will preach at AI.
chapel the 1st Saturday and Sunday,
in November.
The monotony of our community
was broken by the arrival of two very
handsome and entertaing young ladies
from Jackson, Ga., Misses Ellen Mc-
Gough and Lucy Roberts. They vis
ited the asylum and were surprised at
the magnitude and grandeur of the
States’ great charity. They next vis
ited Stevens’ Pottery, which is well
worth going miles to see. They re
turned home carrying with them the
dearest wishes of three of our best
ybung men. Z.
