work are now so well understood that
there seems little disposition to supercede
them ; the difficultj ef tho problem, in
starting a new mine is, as to the best
method of applyiug the well-known prin

advances in tho art of mining aud milling,

or by which economy is effected. Ores
that yield $1 per ton can be profitably

paratively little machinery or appliances
are needed, and those are of an inexpen

called to my attention, a mill with 15
stamps, with turbine to serve as the mo

The greater part of the yield ef that

intrinsic richness, but to a more skillful

it mayalso be added that this section has

The Sotithcrn Belle Mining Co., whose
property is near bausoury, are very ac
tive in getting their valuable property
small parties operating on their owu ac
count, aud it is believed with fair results;
the amount produced is surprisingly large;
the store keepers of the country general
ly purchase the gold of these parties, aud
some of them do a very large business;
one of the most successful traders near
Nacoochee showed me his book in 1880,
aud in tho tirst nine mouths' he had pur
chased over $7,000, aud that season was
far from favorable for a largo yield.
Among the more important producers
in the vicinity of the villey are J. R. Deau,
on Hamby Mountain, Nacoochee company,
the Lumsdeu Bros.,' Johns & Co., and E.
R. Trimble. Most of these parties, iu
J882, exceeded their former work.
The property of the Lumstlen Bros,
has had a very interesting history ; own
ed originally by their grandfather Rich
ardson, one of the earliest, most lutelli-
geut, aud skillful -miuers ot the old days
of miuing, the gravel was woiKeu almost
up to the old gentleman's gardeu, but be
yond this point ho would not allow the
work, as be surmised that the continua
tion of the lead was under his house, and
he preferred his ease and quiet in his lat
er years, to wealth. His grandsous have
partly shared his feeling and partiality
for the old homestead, and have been ve
ry cautious in their operatious; still, fol
lowing the leau up a nine runner into
of the Chestatee. j The old reputation of
the mine was unusually high. The works
were completed so late in the leasou that
littlu milling had been done at the end of
the year, and the runs were made chiefly
to test the machinery. Like the Barlow
I8e2,and may have been as high as
$300j000. Iu conclusion it may be said
that the mining work of Georgia is un
usually free from those uncertain -ele
ments, which make miniugso hazardous;
nevertheless reckless enterprises are un
dertaken there, as iu other mining dis-

an immense pump, whose work is to raise
a large column of water to the height of
the mine ; the arrangement of the work
shows a very skiiitui adoption ot meas

were not sufficiently opeued in December
to allow of confident statements of value
but so far as exposed the mine material
was satisfactory.
Tho Keystone mine formerly operated
by a Phila'delphia company passed recent

west side of the Chestatee nearly oppo
site the Calhoun. At least 80 or 100
acres of this fiue property is gravel, and
is situated very favorably for work ; a
recent examination indicated a yield of
50 ceuts for each square yard of bed rock
uncovered. The amount of old work
done proves large resources, for every
stride forward.

The Loud'a Ditch and Miuiug Co.,

The water supply was adequate of the

mining is unlike that of the Carolinas, aud
a description of the work where every
thing is dene above ground, and by the
'wet" method, that is, by hydraulic treat

accustomed to think of mining as some
thing necessarily associated with the
bowels of the earth.
