After the strife and turmoil Incl
dent to the convention nad passed
away, your correspondent made q
flying visit to the mining regions OF
Carroll county, near Villa Rica Be-
yond doubt, that section is rich in
mineral ores, and this interest at
some day in the near future will be
developed. On this trip / visired
the old candler place, now owned b7
Prof. N. A. Windsor. This place
Prof. Windsor purchased at low
valuation before the building of the
Georgia Pacific Railroad. 1t is loHa-
ted just one and half miles from the
Villa Plea Depot on that road.
Since that tiine the mineral interests
have attracted the attention Of capi-
talists, and some large sales have
been effected. The mines have been
reopened, and the future, to land
owners, seems bright indeed. One
half interest in the mineral on q lot
adjacent to the Windsor place sold
for $4,000 Thirty acres near by
brought 1000. Mr.. Windsor owns
about twenty-five acres of the best
surface gold in that section, and the
gold privilege on his place is now
worth on that market at least $1,000.
But his principal mining interest is
in copper and iron. A copper lead
runs through his entire farm and the
out groupings from it are equal in
richness to those of any mine in the
entire section. Several shafts have
been sunk on lands adjacent to his,
and Col. Trigg Ellis, OF Maryland,
who has examined the Cornwall
miles of England; has recently
visited this section, and claims that
the ore here is as rich in mineral as
any in. the united states. The LIT
next to this owned by Mrs. Stone, OF
Brooklyn; n. Y, is valued at $780,
900 The South well of this copper
lead is from sixty to eighty yards
wide, aud is claimed to be the best
magnetic iron ore III the known
world, Col. Typton; who owns an
interest in the land beyond the
Windsor place, sent some of this ore
to E lglan1 atd also to he Centennial
at Philadelphia, and the ore from
the Villa Rlca mine gave an ANALYSIS
of 81 per cent, while the best ore
known before this. gave an anal isis
of 80 per cent, copper. Col Typton
says the iron interest alone in this
Windsor place is worth at least
10000. The copper is variously es-
timated at from $1,000 to $4,000.
Thus il is e,.sily seen that one Of our
Terrell county former teachers has a
prospective fortune of at least $30,-
000 He says when he receives his
fortune be viii not Ego back On his
poor kim" but viii feed them. when
they visit him, on the finest .ruitS
and richest Jersey butter. But the
mineral interest is far from being the
only attractive feature in the Wind
sor farm. The residence i situated
on an elevated ridge. The land in
front OF the house is gently sloping
to abeattiful meadow abodt quarter
distant on which the eyes may for
ever feast. This, by proper arrange
ment, could be made both delightful
and useful. The land is fertile and
well adapted to the growth ofClover,
Timothy and other grasses.
In rear of the house, IS steep bill
from the side of which and within
fifty yards OF tue dwelling bursts
forth a clear spring whose clear water
is almost icy cold. Over this sbring
is a small stone house especially
adapted to the preservation of mix
and butter Oh the delicious cream.
the sweet butter that may be here
preserved. Words cannot express il,
pen cannot describe. This spring
within one hundred yards of Is
source, empties it's cold water into
one of the prettiest creeks in all
Georgia and on either side OF this
creek is one of the finest mea lows
nature has ever produced. Three
quarters of mile below this point.
the creek empties into Little Talla-
poosa which furnishes certain kinds
of fish in great abundance. Two
miles distant, runs the beautiful
Sweet wat er which is filled with'bream
and perch This farm offers q most
desirable seat for a dairy. It's pro
ducts can he delivered in Atlanta, OF
in Birmingharl Alabama, within two
hours after leaving the spring house.
So that whether regarded, with an
eve to farming; oft0 is mineral pro.
ducts, or to It's dairy advantages, OF
to it's inducements to pleasure com
fort and health, this place has certain
ly no superior These interests all
combined to make it one of the. mos
desirable places the writer has ever
seen. May it's owner live long anC
grow rich ana prosperous ~ the wish
