THE GOLD MINES OF THE SOUTH.

1t will surprise many of the readers of
the STAR to learn the extent to which
gold mining is carried on in some of the
Southern States, and the very good pay
ing business that it has become by the
aid of machinery of modern invention.
The annual yield of the Georgia mines
is over 81 900, 900 of gold bullion, and is
said by an Atlanta correspondent of the
Louisville CD. to be rapidly increasing.
The discovery of gold in the Blue Ridge
region of Northern Georgia was made as
long ago as 1S47, when nuggets of gold
of great value were found in the beds of
the streams. AS the report of these dis
coveries spread miners foated in by thou
sands but as the territory belonged to
the Creek Indians the Government
warned the intruders off, and made every
possible effort to protect the Greeks in
their rights. The Indians themselves
were not backward in operating their
rights, and many bloody encounters took
place between them and the miners.
Whatever was done at that time to de-
yelop the mines was all surface work
no stamp mills and no scientific mining.
After the surface find was exhausted the
mines were deserted Since the war it
has been discovered that the quartz is
rich in gold and that it is easily worked
labor being cheap and water power
abundant. Northern capital has been in
vested in the deserted mines, which were
bought for triAe, and the most ap-
proved machinery for extracting the
metal has been and is being put to work.
One company II the Yahoula-has al
ready constructed an acqueduct over
forty miles in length. The product is
yearly increasing, and DR.. Little, State
Geologist, says that "there are unoccu-
pied mines enough to increase the yield
to $1O,000,OOO per annum, without ex-
hausting the quartz for a generationp' p
Some similar developments are being
made in Virginia and North Gro

burg, Va, are being taken hold Of
by Northern capitalists, and their "true

THERE has been q Ute outbreak in
Colorado, and, as is usual in Indian in
surrections, the white man is at the bot
tom of it. 1t appears that North Park,
which was reserved as hunting ground
for this tribe, has been 50 overrun with
miners and prospectors that the savages
became desperate and resorted to what
Beems to them to be their only remedy
raid. As they have so far simply
burned the agency buildings and made it
hot for the agent, their little indiscretion
might be overlooked.

THE French Government has lately
pardoned lot of the communists exiled
for participation in the troubles following
the German invasion of France. The
steamer Picardie, which arrived the other
day at Marseilles, from New Caledonia,
brought among others M. Bourdena,
who left France pauper. He has, by
lucky speculation in tn e colony, become
a millionaire, and probably will cheer

herents of the Government in condemn
ing the proletarian teachings of the tur-
bulent masses of Belleville and the

prietor Of the theater at Noumea, and

what thorough Communist would deem
extremely heterodox views as to the di-
vision of property and the rights of
those who have not got coat to help
themselves to what they require out of
the wardrobe of those who have. The

all, greatly dependent upon whose OK it

A New YORK theatrical manager pro-
poses the introduction of season or
communication card, emitting the holder
to so many admissions to the theater dur
ing the season at a material reduction
from the usual prices of admission. They
will be available for single entry by the
holder or for party of friends by simply
detaching the proper number of coupons
like street railroad ticket. The plan is
a novel one and we see no reason why it
should not be popular with frequenters Of
theaters in any large city.

TOO MUCH WATER.

The direct losses to English agriculture
lists during the past season on account of
excessive rains and low temperature are
enormous, and almost incalculahle. No
such disaster to the farming interests of
the British Island has happened in the
memory of man. The Times estimates
the amount of losses of various crops up
to August 31st as follows: The amount
below an average of the corn crops will
amount to G25,000,000; of beans, peas
and rye, to G3,000,000; of potatoes, not
less than e15,0OO,00O, hops e1,250,00O,
hay e15,000,000, making total of &c.,
100000, or $300000,000, 1t is estimated
that at least 16, 100000 quarterns of wheat
will have to be imported for food supply
the coming year.
No wonder that a state of alarm per-
vades the British Islands and that the la
boring classes are seeking tardy relief
in emigration. Since the date Of
the foregoing estimates other floods
have submerged large sections of
the country and carried off standing and
partially harvested crops. The Rivers
Lea and Thames have ovcrhowed their
banks, and several graziers have lost
sheep and cattle by drowning. The
grounds about Windsor Castle and Eton
College and the Windsor Race Course are
flooded and the Thames Valley, looking
eastward and westward from the Round
Tower of the Castle, looks like chain
of lakes. Trains were stopped on roads
leading out of London and the highways
rendered impossible by loss of bridges
and washes of embankments. Altogeth-
er the effect of storms in the little island
for the past four months have been phe-
nomenal.

The best informed authorities agree in
estimating that the quantity of wheat
that will be required to supply the def
cheney caused in Great Britain by the
failure of the cereal crops in that coun.
try will be in the neighborhood of &c.,
100000 quarters or say one hundred and
twenty-eight million bushels. Mr..
Thomas G. Scott, writing to the London
Times, estimates that the money loss to
Great Britain by the disastrous harvests
of the present year will amount to total
of at least s295,O000oO. This is equal to
loss of about $25 per acre on all the
cultivated land in the United Kingdom,
and is calamity that is shocking to con-
slider when one reflects that it falls most
heavily upon class of people that can
lily afford to bear it; to class already

ONE difficulty that the Government
meets with in getting after the Mormon
polygamous saints with a sharp stick
consists in the fact that the statutes only
provide for punishment of those holding
polygamous relations, where it can be
shown that man has gone through the
ceremony of marriage with more than
one wife. The difficulty, OF rather omis-
sion, to get at the ofense of the main
taenance of poIygamous relations makes it
easy for the patriarchs to snap their fin
gers at the United States officers and pro-
ceed to "sear' as many wives as Mus
sulman possesses concubines in his harem.
Some further legislation will be required
to abate this "twin relict of barbarism"
from United States territory effectually.

BREADSTUFFS AND PRoyISIONS.-At the pro-
duce exchange yesterday the markets opened
weaker and the feeling was beariSh, on unfavor-
able adyices from the west and Europe. Winter
wheat fell off from two to three cents per bushel,
as compared with the closing prices of Saturday,
but on receipt OF favorable adviceS later in the
day there was an advance of from one to two
cents per buShel over Saturdays prices, and the
market was strong at the close. Corn was from
one-half to three-quarters of a cent per bushel
higher and active and strong at the improve
ment. Oats advanced one-half a cent per bushel,
with an active demand, and rye was weak. Pro-
visions were much higher, active and excited,
and freights were weak all through the lists
