Upjiortrr Will you j,rive iiu-afion
ornl Ideii of the eonipnrutlvo vnliu' of
the ilifTcront miuernls of thi> State us
far us naocrtuined?
Dr. Jj. I think iron i l>v far ill
most viiluable mineral in the State.
There is an abundance of it and the
ore Una good In some planes as cun
bo found anywhere, it is all of an ex
cellent quality. Next to iron, are
copper and gold; which will bo the
more valuable of these two is an un
deeidod question, as yet. I have here
a spoeimen of copper ore which is
very rich, that came from the mines
of Mr. \V. A. Hoskins, near Villa
liica. And, by (lie way. it will be of
interest, to your readers to know that
he will in a few weeks have
Tire DIAMOND Dm LI.
in use now at Ids mine. This drill
cuts by means of a diamond and will
make progress through the hardest
kind of rock at the rate of twenty feet
a day, snooping up specimens of the
rock as il works. Mr. Hoskins by
meansof this drill, which costs 54,500,
can accomplish in six days what it
took him six months, at a cost of f'S,-
000, to do. Ordinarily it will go as
deep as need bo in four or live days,
us it is not necessary generally to go
deeper than one hundred feet after
this ore. This drill will lie of im
mense beuelit to all the miners in
that section, as Air. It. can rent, it
at a small cost, comparatively, to
parties who are unable to purchase a
machine su expesive themselves,
while tlie number using it will make
rent that all can pay lvnumeraltve to
the owner. There is no telling of
bow grout benefit the introduction of
tliis help to mining will be to the
mining interests in all that section,
it. \s to other minerals of value?
Dr. iThere is hardly any lead
in the Slate, no tin, no silver, no zinc
at least none lias been found under
my observation and survey.
THAT MOUNTAIN OFHIJ.VF.It.
Reporter Have you not heard of
sonic alleged discoveries of vast
quantities of silver in the northern
portion of the State?
l>r. L. lies, and I will show you
some. Hen; is a beautiful specimen
of iron pyrites which was soul me,
with this letter, by a gentleman from
Holm-. You see by the letter lie is in
high expectation of its being silver.
I wrote him there was no silver about
it, but I could inform the owner how
to utilize it. It is sulphuret of iron,
and it --an be turned into something
of considerable value by the manu
facture of sulphuric acid if it exists in
any largo quantities, as he says it
does. Here, continued the Doctor,
taking us in another room, is a speci
men of valuable silver ore it is from
Arkansas, near Little Bock. That
will yiel-l, probably, about •s.outolhe
toil, and is perhaps the richest; silver
mine t’ois side of Colorado. There
is no silver, however, I believe, in
Georgia worth mentioning.
Tin: cabinet.
i .--t us lake a look, said t he ■ ourto-*
ous and learned Professor, through
the different rooms in which are my
collections of .specimens. Here are
some plants and liowers pressed and
preserved, just scut in. The tin box
is air tight, and is carried on the
shoulders by the exploring parties,
and plants will keep in it for a long
time without withering. AVe are col
lecting specimens of all tie- shrubs,
trees, plants, and liowers of the dif
ferent sections of the State, it;; we
travel through, which are to in- pre
served for reference. There, pointing
to a largo collection of bundles on
shelves oppositelo us, is my own pri
vate herbarium, containing tea thou
sand specimens of different speeiesof
plants.
Here are .specimens of soils, which
we collect as we go, ami turn over to
the Committee of Agriculture for ex
amination and analysis.
Here are specimens of us fine slate
as you desire, from Rockmart; of
very pure white marble from Jasper
county; of large sized garnets from
Paulding county; of graphite from
Viekeiis and Carroll counties; of ru
tile from Carroll and Gilmer; of ky
anito from Carroll and Pickens; and
tourmaline, of line quality, from Cobb
and Pickens. Here is a specimen of
very Hue kaolin, which J picked up in
Atlanta the oilier day. And here is
asbestus from your own county.
BACK TO THE 1-1.000.
It. Where did you got these curi
ous looking shells?
Dr. L. They are from the Chatta
hoochee, near Columbus; shells of
the cretaceous period, which show
that in that dim age of the past the
waves of the sea rolled over the farms
we now cultivate and the cities wo
live in along tile Chattahoochee,
Flint, Ocniulgee and Savannah val
leys.
MINEK.U, STitIFEH.
Haiti Dr. L., continuing, look at tills
map of Georgia, and you will see how
the mineral sections out through the
State.
In the extreme northwest corner,
including Dade and a part of the ad
joining counties, is the only coal sec
tion of the State. Coexistent with!
that, and extending farther out, say!
to Taylor’s Ridge, is the section run
ning northeast and southwest of the
fosslliferous iron. Then wo haw the
limestone region.
Then the section of brown hematite
iron ore, including some of the finest
specimehs of ore known.
Next is the section with the same I
general direction of copper and gold !
extending all along the Chattahoo
chee river down to its lower waters. |
Then there is the streak of gneiss,
sandstone ami granite. These in-j
elude about all the mineral lines and
sections of the Htate.
OEOIUJIA AT THE CENTENNIAL.
Reporter -Will you make an exhi- j
bition of our minerals at the Oenten-!
nial?
Dr. L.—That is my intention. I !
have made arrangements to that of- j
feet. The duty of assigning a place ;
for that purpose will be discharged, j
I suppose, by oilr commissioner.
The exhibition wiil be in connection
with that of tlie Agricultural Depart- j
merit.
TMKOWI.NO away money.
Reporter -Can you say anything of
parties losing by selling their lands
on which minerals were afterwards
found?
Dr. L. I know of one water power
disposed of for SIOO, which is now val
ued at an offer of- $12,000. And I
know also of a tract of land sold for
$3,000, which has now mills and ma
chinery on it to the value of $250,000.
It is part of our duty to measure

Heportcr -What is tho nature of
the country after you leave tho gneiss,
sand-stone and granite section?
Dr. 1,. -It is one broad strip of
marl bed and perhaps phosphates.
LATEST INFORMATION.
This very morning (Monday ) I re
ceived a letter from my Southern ex
ploring party at Woolfolk’s Alill,
fTmtt.ohoooheo comity, saying there
was thirteen feet of marl there; and
at Georgetown, in tjuitnuui county,
it was eighteen feet thick down to the
water’s edge. To give you ail idea
how valuable this vast marl bed may
be, there wore five companies in Now
Jersey in tsc.7, that obtained 13*,iH)i>
tons, wort It #1 5 per ton. This, you
see, would give u general aggregate
value of about $200,000 per annum
from only live quarries. Southern
Georgia, therefore, may not Have
gold and iron and copper, but she
has, nevertheless, in her bosom enor
mous treasures of wealth.
And in commotion with tills, I may
revert to the discoveries of slate in
Georgia, of which 1 just now told you.
in IsilH, in tho Lehigh Valley, Pa,.
thirly-tlirco slate quarries yielded
annually $1,835,000, and our state ex
isting at Roekmart in great abund
ance is equal to any in value.
Reporter T have probably intru
ded long enough on your time. 1
Dr. R. No; stop. Hero is another
letter l have just opened. 11 is about
the copper beds al Villa Rica, yield
ing 181 per cent,, which is nearly
double the value of ores obtained at.
Duektowu, Tenn., and this is tM feet
depth of shaft, while tho shafts at
j Duektowu are several hundred feet
deep.
These copper mines at Duektowu
have been operated for twenty or
thirty years, and of late years it"has
made one and a half million dollars
for tli” proprietors. Due mine sold,
recently, for $35,000. There are sev
eral mines there in all.
Reporter lam very much obliged
to you, Doctor, for your information
and your courtesy iii giving it.
Dr. ii. It gives me pleasure to
afford any information connected
with a work so important as this is
for the development, of our Slate. I
shall lie pleased to disseminate intel
ligence concerning my department-,
through tlie Herald.

THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY POE 1875.
Tlie approach of tho Presidential election gives
mi usual importance to tho o vents and develop
incuts of 1875. Wo shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully and fearlessly.
TIIE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found in every State and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve and odd to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make tho Weekly Hun the best
family newspaper in tho world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most j
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
c ontain the most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully sc looted and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature in tho Weekly Sun, and its articles Will
always bo found fresh and useful to tho farmer.
The number nf men independent in politics is
increasing, and tho Wookly Hun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and ior tho
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
liar of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one dollur a
year fur a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six coD
umus. As this barely pays the expenses of paper
and printing, we are not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage In advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to got
j up a club in order to have tho Weekly Hun at this
J rate. Any one who sends one dollar and twenty
j cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year,
j We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY HUN—Eight pages, 56 c
Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No df
