such painful scene of disaster drew the atten-

A GEORGIA Bonanza,

1t is said a rich strike has Just
been made in the famous old Ma
gruder mines, in Lincoln County,
Georgia, in the, shape of four and
half fOet vein of silver, assaying
$3.50 to the ton. The vein bears IN
mistakable evidence of being true
assure, and the owners of the mine
are very happy over their good for
tune. The crop ore in these mines
is like most of the Georgia ores, of
the rotten variety, and easily
worked. The mines have not been
idle in recent years, but a lack of
capital has prevented the owners
from developing them in as vigorous
a manner as they would like to do.
With this new strike, however.
they will have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the money necessary to
work the property thoroughly. The
Magruder mines are an old and
famous property. Before the war
they were worked for gold onlv.
and yielded a pro6t of $1,000 per
week, profit which would be din
pl1cated at the present time if the
were vigorously worked. = Nortv

BOB lNGERSOLL'S MINE.
A Hole in the Ground Which has
Not Proved a Bonanza.

There is nothing more interesting
in Washington just now than the
affairs of the ISanhoe mine, and
may ss we'll tell you about it. The
Ivsnhoe mine is Bob Ingersoll's mine.
That is, Robert is the heaviest owner
in it at present, and it begins to look
as if be was the heaviest loser in it
also. The principal meyers were
IngersolI aad firm OF lawyers, Hal
bert E. Payne & Grafton, and
Senator Plumb, of Kansas. A Wash
ington banking firm was also inter-
ested. The property is said to have
cost $50. 900. and therefore the shares
of stock cost the original holders and
issuers, thereof thirty cents a piece.
The company was formed about a
year and half ago, and SOON after it
was formed the most astounding
stories of the wealth of the mine be-
gan 10 circulate eli over Washington.
l iorket how many million dollars
worth OF ore were always in sight in
the mine. None of It was ever taken
out, but it was stated to be there, and
a good many honest people got to be-
ieve it was there.
After q while the able originators of
the mine began to let some OF their
friends into this good and beautiful
thing at the rate of about
So q share. There seemed to
be quite a demand for it at
this figure, and consequently the
price was advanced to SIS a share, and
then the demand for it increased.
The company held a meeting and set
apart quantity of stock TO be sold at
So share, to be used to develop the
mine. The report of fresh millions
OF ore heaVing 10 sight as the expler-
ers advanced rapidly und srneath the
surface, continued to arrive in Wash
ington. and some OF the originators
of this mine put faith in them. Mr..
Ingersoll himself became convinced
that the mine was suCh q bonanza
that he thought it q great pity that
the compaDy's stock should 90 of at
the low rate OF So q share. So he
went and put all the money he could
rake anG scrape into it, and his
friends generally did the same. One
gentleman / know, who had nothing
but his faith in Ingersoll to guide
him, Invested $38. 900 in the stocks at
81 and s. share. Some how there
seemed to be q good deal of stock
floating about, and after awhile it be
gan TO sink little, and then it sank
o good deal, and last week | heard of
fellow buying one thousand shares
at ten cents a share. Ingersoll has
paid something over $50, COO for what
he could now buy for about 50, 900.
He is able to bear the loss, because
be can get $1,000 a Dight whenever
he chooses to lecture in Chicago,
New York ar Boston, but some of
the other sufferers are pokss well able
to bear it; in fact, the Ivanhoe mine
has blown sort OF simeon of poverty
over Washington.
There was a regular crsze about
the stock last year, and people who
had not much ready money even
mortgsged their houses to buy it at So
q share. The secret OF the little affair
was. OF course, t1at while Ingersoll
and his friends were buying, Plumb.
Grafton and their friends, were sell
