Recovering Lost Gold.


UP to the commencement or the war
there had passed through the branch
mint at Dahlonega over 80. 0Oe,G9 OF
cold dust, and low estimate will place
the amount of gold extracted by the or
binary methods. in the Stale of Georgia,
at SIC. GOO, OO0 It has been known all
the while that by the crude, simple
ways of amt.lgamation practiced 1T the
gold mills, much of the gold escaped
with the taiiings and was lost forever
in the beds of streams.
Some publication has been made OF a
new process for saving gold, invented
by DR.. S. +. Charles, of Forsyth Co.
Ga DIR. Charles is a Bavarian, grad
uate of the royal engineering and min
ing schools of Freiburg in Saxony, and
gained valuable practical experience
among the mines of the Hartz Noun
tains. A modest, unassuming man. DIR.
Charles is, perhaps. the best posted gold
mining and gold milling expert in the
country. He is the owner of an i'm
mense lead of refractory ore on the
Etowall River, in Forsyth County, which
it is impossible to work protitably by
the present system of amalgamation
with quicksilver on copper plates. To
save the gold in this ore, DR.. Charles in
vented process which he attaches to
the ordinary stamp mill, beginning
where it leaves off, that is, he takes the
ore pulp that has been crushed by the
stamp and passed over the copper
plates, direct into his apparatus instead
of letting it flow away as tailings, and
further manipulates it, getting five
times as much gold on his sllvered
clothes. precipitated there by electricity
generated by small dynamo-electro
machine, as is saved by the copper
plates of the stamp mill, over which it
has passed.
Last week Dr. Charles, having at
tached a somewhat incomplete appara-
tus to the first-class ten stamp mill Mt
the Franklin and Mcdonald gold mines,
under the management of Col. A. Ill.
Moore, in Cherokee County, in a two
days run, practically demonstrated the
entire success of the invention. After
the mercury tables of tie stamp mills
had done their best. and the pulp had
left them, ordinarily to flow into the
Etowah River, it was run directly into
DIR. Charles silvered cloth, electric
amalgamator, which retained and saved
five times more gold than the mercury
tables of the stamp mill retained and
saved. This invention which Dr.
Charles proposes 10 give to the mining
world is of incaicuiable value to the
owners of the universally refractory
gold ores of Georgia. Virginia, the Car
olinas and Alabama, as well as to the
whole country. just think of it! In or
der to obtain $40, 900, 600 of gold, 5000,
600. 600 has been wasted in Georgia alone!
DR.. Charles process will revolution
ize the milling and reduction of refrac-
tory gold ores and render immensely
profitable what has hitherto been COM
paratively valueless. atlanta COnStttat-

ALAME nEFENsE.

ED. ARGUS: In yesterday morning.
issue of the republican organ published at
Rock Island, | noticed u communication
signed Citizen" in which it designated
the ARGUS as a mud throwing organ, and
intimates that its style is low and sensa-
tional. The purpert of the article was to
defend Capt Morris from the swift and
just retribution that he is sure to receive.
The article bears the ear marks of the
ex naval officer (?) and if not writ
ten by him, it certainly was done at
his dictation. Be it Morris or not it mat
tiers not, for the declarations contained in
it are weak and open for argument. cit
izen'' SAYS: 1.-The republicans and
friends of Capt. Morris will see to it that
he receives three votes where he
would have received two" etc,
How is this? An open avowal that the
Tipping house candidate or the party that
nestles the prohibitienists under its wing
is not popular, and he would not receive
his party strength had it not been fer the
ARGUS. If this be true, then Capt. Morris
should ever feel grateful to the ARGUS for
its support, as it is an established fact that
something outside of the republican party
will have to arise to put w g. Morris in
the sheriff's office. But this is superstition
as regards the ARGUS. Citizen" you
either are block head or you have not
looked the ground over. Youhave no foun-
dation for your statements. You know that
never has republican nominated in Rock
Island been so utterly unsatisfac-
tory as that of w. g. Morris
for sheriff. Men that have voted
the republican ticket for years; men that
are identified with Moline's Lest interests,
will vote against this great hulk of egotism
and bombast "Citizen," you know that
men who have associated with Morris for
years and years will not vote to place him
in the sheriffalty. Why? Because they
don't like his ways; because they know
if he was elected that he would abuse his
privileges by being arrogant and overbear-
ing; because they know he is and has been
since he stepped off the deck of some gun
boat, chronic office seeker of the most
disgusting type. These are few of the
many reasons that lifelong republicans will
put him to sleep, literally speaking. cit
izen," let me refresh your memory, should
il be weakened. Do you remember few
years ago when w. G. Morris
the champion Office seeker,
of the county was nominated by the re-
publicans of the Fourth ward for alder
man. Do you remember that the ring
which existed there and continues to the
present day nominated Mr.. Morris. against
the wishes of all decent citizens of the
ward7 Do you remember that these citi-
zens nominated @. r. Ainsworth, life
long republican, and placed him upon an
independent ticket DO you remember
that the bulky druggist was badly beaten

count of the death of VIM. III. Borst, one

through the roof threatening danger to adj

moved by the police. The flames were
confined to the theatre. The cause of the

How to Get Rid of Rats and Mice.

The German papers recommend car
Donate of baryta as an excellent exter-
minator of rats and mice. It is hardly
ever injurious to large animals, and to
be preferred for this reason alone to
strychnine and phosphorus. The fol-
lowing formula has been found the
best: Five grains precipitated carbonate
OF baryta, one grain sugar, and twenty
grains bread made into mass and d.
vided into 100 pills. These are then
rolled in flour, after being previously
wetted.

A fact probably but little known is
that the United States nickel five-cent
piece furnishes key to metric measures
and weights. This coin is two cent?
metres in diameter and its weight is FIVE
grammes. Five of them placed in a
row will give the length of n decimetre
and two of them will weigh deca-
gramme. As a kilolitre is a cubic metre
the key of the measure is also the key
to a measure of capacity.
