A new generation of prospectors pan for gold at Gold Hills of
Dahlonega, Georgia’s newest tourist attraction. (PRN)
TOUR

DAHLONEGA (PRN) -
The little north Georgia town
of Dahlonega has become a
bustling beehive of activity.
New excitement came to this
historic community with the
opening of a 54-acre tourist
attraction designed to lure
travelers to the site of
America’s first major gold
rush. The village is being
developed by Hardman &
Stuckey Travel Investments,
Inc.
The Gold Hills of
Dahlonega, where thousands
of ardent prospectors of the
early 1800’s sought their
fortune in yellow money, is
the name given to a gold mine
village now being restored at
the site of the gold discovery
which preceded California’s
fabled rush by 20 years.
Gold was first found in
Lumpkin County in 1828,
when the town of Auraria
became the center of Georgia’s
mining industry. Many came
to find out for themselves if
there was “gold in them thar
hills,” and a U.S. Branch Mint
was established at Dahlonega,
where more than $6 million of
Georgia gold was minted
before operation of the Mint
was discontinued in 1861.
Today the area still hides
gold in its hills, but is too
expensive to mine
commercially. Tourists,
however, may pan on their
own and keep what they find.
New trails have now been
opened and workmen have
dug down 750 feet to the
original tracks into the main
cavern of Big Nugget Gold
Mine. A rock crusher and
stamp mill have been
reactivated along with the
mining equipment of the
and their guest, Mrs, Lawton
Rowland of Brunswick, and
Sandra Montford attended the
birthday dinner of their cousin,
Mrs. Pearl Spivey, Sunday in
Scott,
Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Gillis
and Lori Ann, visited Mr. and
Mrs. V, L. McKenzie in Soper
ton, last Sunday.
Miss Wilma Sightler of At
lanta, spent last week with her
mother, Mrs. W, H, Sightler.
Mr. and Mrs. Norman Fenn
of Savannah, spent several days
with the R, D, Jenkins family,
They all attended homecoming
at the Baptist Church in
Rochelle on Sunday.
Gaylain Brown, student at
the University of Georgia, vis
ited during the week end with
his parents, Mr, and Mrs.
James E., Brown. Mrs. Jon
Lance Brown and daughter
Patricia, have returned totheir
home in Corpus Christi, Texas
after being the house guests of
the Browns, Her husband, Capt.
John Lance Brown is with the
Marine AFB, Corpus Christi.
Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Shelnutt
returned to their home in At
lanta, after visiting her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Willard McDaniel.
Cindy and John, who had spent
the past week with their grand
parents, accompanied them
home.,
Mrs., Bruce Elam and Mrs,
Lockhart, Bass and Big Buck
Mines. From this section gold
was mined and taken to
Atlanta by mule train in 1958
to sheath the done of
Georgia’s capitol building.
Picnic areas and parking for
more than 250 cars have been
added, and a blacksmith shop
will open this summer. Future
attractions of the village will
include mountain crafts shops,
camping areas, amusement
rides, and taped tours.
Dahlonega is also home of
the recently remodelled
Courthouse Gold Museum,
formerly the Lumpkin County
Courthouse, Built in 1837, the
first floor of the building was
originally used as a market
place with the courtroom and
county offices upstairs. The
museum recreates momentous
events in the history of
Georgia’s gold rush days and
displays actual tools used in
various methods of mining
gold.
The story of America’s
oldest ghost gold town --
Auraria - is depicted at the
museum, Auraria lost
preeminence when a rival site
five miles north became the
choice for the permanent
county’ government. The
name for the new seat was
Talonaga (later Dahlonega),
meaning ‘‘precious yellow” in
the Cherokee language.
For a family fun weekend,
the Department of Industry
and Trade, Tourist Division,
suggests you head for these
storied hills of north Georgia.
The State’s newest tourist
attraction -~ Gold Hills of
Dahlonega -- will help you
hunt the history, the fun and
the gold that still awaits the
lucky prospector in “them
thar hills.”

GEORGIA EGG COMMISSION
MISS MILDRED HUFF, HOME ECONOMIST
ATLANTA (PRN) -- A week in the Smoky Mountains, what
could be more inviting than crisp air, fresh mountain trout for
supper, country ham, and sunny-side eggs for early morning
breakfast. With these thoughts in mind, I headed north to
Gatlinburg last week to teach some classes at the Southeastern
Egg Quality and Grading School.
This school is held every year to show egg processors the
latest on producing, gathering, washing, oiling, candling, and
eating nature’s most nearly perfect, naturally occurring, protein
food.
Throughout the lectures grades and freshness were stressed.
However, from the consumer’s viewpoint freshness has an
opposite definition: To consumers “fresh” means WHEN the
chicken laid the egg; To producers, “fresh” means how the egg
actually looks inside as it is “candled” (passed in front of a
bright light).
Regardless of when laid, a “fresh” or Grade AA egg will have
little or no air cell in the big end, plenty of thick white,
preferably cloudy, and no defects or dirt on the shell. These
signs indicate little loss of carbon dioxide due to evaporation
through the tiny pores in the shell. If all carbon dioxide loss
could be prevented, eggs would remain fresh almost forever!
As for nutrition, old and fresh eggs have equal food
value-every known vitamin and mineral needed by man (except
vitamin C--so eat an orange occasionally).
As for cooking, there are definite advantages of both. The
freshest look gorgeous when fried or poached, but they do not
peel easily when hard cooked. The older eggs, Grade B (the
Grade A’s you bought 6 weeks ago) are not quite as pretty since
the white spreads out and the yolk flattens slightly, but they do
the same good job in creating cakes, custards, etc.
As for taste, they are best the first two weeks after
purchasing, but the mild, delectable flavor lasts over a month if
they are not stored near oniohs or the blue cheese.
If you cannot get to the mountains to work or play, do the
next best thing. Buy a slab of country ham, a dozen Grade A
eggs, make some biscuits, and enjoy a fresh from the country
break fast or supper.
Perfect Fried Eggs
Step 1. Use just enough fat to grease skillet. Heat skillet until
hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
Step 2. Break and slip eggs, one at a time, into skillet.
Step 3. Reduce heat immediately.
Step 4. Cook over low heat until edges turn white, about one
minute.
Step 5. Add Y 4 teaspoon water for each egg.
Step 6. Cover skillet tightly, to hold in steam, which cooks
the eggs perfectly.
Step 7. Cook to desired doneness.
Contrary to general notions about fried foods, fried eggs
contain highly digestible protein. Just do not use high heat.
“Men like lace on ladies’ underwear but not on their fried eggs.”
If you have any questions or recipes you would like to share
please write to me: Georgia Egg Commission, 1687 Tullie Circle,
N.E., Suite 118, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.

Cultivate Shrubs?
By David H, Williams
There is no real advantage
to cultivating the soil around
shrubs, In fact, digging around
established ornamentals such
as azaleas, camellias and
hollies can severely injure the
root system. Many of the roots
of these plants are located with
in a few inches of the soil
surface,
Gerald Smith, one of our
Extension horticulturists, ex
plains that some gardeners
“work’’ in fertilizers around
their shrubs. He goes on to say
that this practice is not neces
sary, as most fertilizers are
water soluble.
In other situations the soil
around shrubs is disturbed in
an effort to eradicate Bermuda
or other noxious grasses. Smith
says a more satisfactory ap
proach is to place a sheet of
ployethylene plastic on the
ground underneath the plant.
Cut the plastic into a round
shape, then make a cut to the
center. This way the plastic
can be left around the shrub
from now on.
Isolate New Animals
Isolation of newly acquired
animals is an often overlooked
practice onour livestock farms.,
Yet it is a simple, basic and
traditional steptowardprevent
ing diseases.
Our Extension animal scien
tists point out that isolation
facilities don’t have tobe elabo~
rate, They do need to be con
structed so no contact or con
tamination with other hogs is
possible. And isolation facili
ties should be easy to clean
and disinfect and disinfect after
each use,
How long to isolate? Boars
and gilts -- even feeder pigs --
should be quarantined 30 to 60
days before they are mixed:
with the rest ofthe herd. During
isolation the new additions will
become accustomed to their
new surroundings, routines and
feed.
Very frequently boars are
purchased, brought home and:
immediately pressed intoserv
ice. The stresses of moving and
the new surroundings lower the
boar’s resistance to disease,
An isolation period helps avoid
these abrupt changes and
adjustments,
Isolation is a simple, basic
and traditional practice. Too
often, it is overlooked.
