The marshal and assistants tried to take him but he eluded them and made his way into an other car where he was concealed. A large crowd of people were at the- train, all of whom appeared to be officers and they demanded that Lindsay be given up. The train was held for about five minutes and a thorough search made, but the man could not be. found. After the train has passed ten miles be yond Gfen Alpine Lindsay appear ed from his place of "concealment and went on to Knoxville, where he has since remained. The railroad men who know about tne affair declare the treatment of Lindsay to have been outrageous and disgraceful. He turned over every cent of the money given him to Capt. Trott, whoiad kept it all because it was only ehousrh to pay the fare. In addition toithis the news agent had paid $1.00. to avoid further trouble and had every assurance that it was all right The second attempt to ar rest him was, therefore, brutal and disgracefull.

The following communication to the Atlanta Constitution from our . - -- worthy townsman, Prof. J. M. Tiernan, is too applicable to our State to pass without republication in 'oar State press. Pass it around, gentlemen, ; and s possibly in the near future its facts will learn oth ers a thing or two: Does gold mining pay in Geor- This question has assumed some what of a heated importance since the late declaration of State Geolo gist. Spencer that the mining of the precious metals little more than pays a small interest on the labor expended. Several days ago Mr. "J.-. M. Tier nan, of Salisbury, N. C, who owns large mining interests in Mexico, was in the city, and took note of the discussion which was brewing between the mine owners of north east Georgia and the State geolo gist.- On his return home he wrote a letter on the question which is intended to show tfcat there is a wide difference of opinion between scientists and practical miners, n which the latter have, so k far, the best of the controversy. In his letter Mr. Tiernan says: I have read with interest the c?rd or.4iODert Miller in your s3uo of a-late dateFregafdlhg fee . . ' . 0 0 opinionfexDressed bv Dr. Snfinfiflr. X' . f 1 : ' r-T ' juua oiw mugjsi, conuemnmg the gold mines of Georgia. The opinion of. this learned gentleman does not surprise me, since I have known the richest mines of tho world tobe likewise condemned at one time, not only by politically made geologists, but by ""the, most famous man in that order of aniens on the continent of America. I I refer to the celebrated Sillman, the extent of whose ceolosical knowledge has been recognized in Europe as well as in America. In the year 1862 I was connected with the working of one of the mines of the Comstock lode. : At that time the great lode was appaf- ently exhausted," as he Gould and Curry, the Central, Crown Point, Savage, Hale and Norcross mines had taken out and worked all the rich ores down to ,the 800 feet level, where the vein was disrupted, by being capped over by the country oni nnnii nnf ht fnnn not Deep mining was at that period un known to the American people, and the owners of all these mines were ruined if they could not find some one with the requisite knowledge to solve the problem offered by the situation and advise them what to do, whether to abandon the mines, or. airectea oy science, continue their efforts to reach the vein at greater denth. In those davs we had not yet lcarDed the undoubted fa, that Rrifin,ft withnnh nrant.inaf knowledge is like faith without g00d works dead and worthless! So a meeting of all the owners of the ComStocfc mina was called and they agreed to employ the renowned Silliman , to examine the ; lode a dceision which, to our minds, meant conclusive certainty one -way or another, since who could doubt or discredit the report of the great geologist. He came examined the I . - . . . ' . minej ana L nave nis report in P1UU UCAU1 mc- x Bu' the substance of it is, "that below the 800'feet level it would be use- Iinn r ryrfr winnAW "t fVkA tn ! i COO VIS AVUA UlUUvJ XVI vuu . pose of exploring fpr gold or silver, owing to the fact, well known ta science, that the matrix which car-- ries the precious metals could not-, exist in the! ingenious formation constituting the gangue rock in the Washoe district." The Comstock stock at once went begging in the market. No one would touch it, and an absolute panic occurred in San Franciscor ,where the greater part of the stxck was owned. Bat the pluck of the superintendents of the mines met the difficulty. They fortunately had sufficient funds in the treasury" and they kept on sinking until they reached the 1,600 feet level,, where the great bonanza was struck,, which in a few yoars yielded $300, 000,000 in gold and silver. When the great Silliman heard of this he published a card ; declining ever again to examine or report on mines, stating-frankly that he lacked the practical knowledge necessary, to be combined with science to give such reports value. It is to be hoped that your State geologist, when con vinced of his error by practical de velopments in tne gold fields of Geor gia, may be as honest as Professor Silliman and acknowledge that a lit tle geological science is truly a dan gerous and very expensive thing with which to assist in developing, or in this instance retarding, the de velopment of a countryte resources. Tho San Francisco Mining, and Scientific Press, commenting on the fact that the Daily Stock Exchange, a few years later called EJgJessor Gunning's opinion thatJff pAV?TS- 1 slock. luue wJWBgrvmgoui-Liunning'.s 4.jji : t : , 1 iwauiuc, xeiuariiib: x crimps me Exchange is unduly influenced by the fact that the celebrated Professor 1 Silliman gave iias his opinion that the Comstock lode was worthless, and that since that time nearly three hundred millions in gold and silver ., have been taken from that lode. The same Professor Silliman is the gen- tieman wno gave it as ms deliberate opinion that the Emma mine was an inexhaustible deposit of the precious metals. Certain Englishmen who invested in the Emma mine do not think as much of a professional geo logists's opinion how as they once did." - would, as a conclusion drawn v from these facts, -advise the owners Gf mines in Georgia not to lose cour-; ae-e. Thev are not the onlv people who have suffered from misapplied science or science lacking its neces- sary complement, practical expe- rience and political prefermment. North Carolina condoles with Geor- gia, and other .jStates can no doubt loin in jamentauon over wasiea funds invested through the advice of men whose superficial knowledge of science has been a curse to mining enterprise since the first discovery of the precious metals in the United States. And they are today to be found in the gold fields qf the South in crreater numbers than in any other part 0f the country witrTwhich I am acquainted. Restpectfully, J. M. Tiernan, M. E. Dr. W. H.
