UNJON & RECORDER. 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.” “C. SHARP.” -Milledgeville, October 3rd, 1886. T. Cline & Co., are opening new goods every day. They get every new style that comes out. 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.

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. ♦ ^ - — A good No. 7, Cook Stove, with all the furniture for $12.00, sold before at $15.00, at J.
