The Georgia Gold FIELDS,

A gentleman now in Louisville tells
some things about gold fields in Georgia
that will be news TO most people in this
part of the country: The gold belt in
Georgia, said he, ''extends from Vir-
ginia and North Carolina to Florida and
Alabama. 1t is from 12O to 40 miles
wide. You have no idea of what an
industry it is. Thousands of people are
making their living by working in the
mines. In one place alone in Lumpkin
county you can see twenty-six stamp
mills each of which employs from five
to fifty men. Some of these gold mines
have been worked for years, and in
places the earth is dug away sixty feet.
Some of it is very rich in ORE Four
hundred acres were sold some time ago
for 100000 to English capitalists.
All the mining is done by wealthy capt.
talists, and there are few poor men in
the belt 1t is a busy place Good
wages are paid, and the men are indus
trious and sober. People are hocking
there from the far West, and even from
Australia and Mexico

This case is formed in one solid piece
without Joint or seam, opening in front
only, thus avoiding the usual Cap. and
securing greater strength and durability.
These watches are all open face. The
bezel, into which an extra strong crystal
is fitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached to the case by
screwing it thereon, and thus forms an
air tight junction with the body of the
case, which is proof against dust and
moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners,
lumbermen and others who are almost
constantly exposed and who have to make
frequent reference to the watch, these
qualities are of the utmost importance.

VALDosTA, GEORGIA, July 30. 1882.
l sold one of your Patent Dust Proof
Cases about ten months ago, and the
other day it came back to me with the
request TO make it wind easier. On ex
animation | found that the stem was rusty
and | inquired into the canse of it. The
gentlemen stated to me that he was start
ing some saw logs that had lodged in the
bend of the river, when his chain caught
in a bush and threw his watch into about
twelve feet of water, and he was about
hours finding it. When he got it out it
was running and he thought all right.
In about three months he found that the
stem was hard to turn and he sent it to
me. / can say that the watch is all that
the company claims for it and recon-
mend it to all railroad aud mill men.

Washington, 2S.-It is expected

Senator Kellogg, will be continued
on Monday. Last summer q fOrmer
grand jury returned an indictment
against Brady and Price for, con-

cation will now be made for an
Indictment for Kellogg, based not
alone upon the testimony Of John
a. Walsh, but also upon that of
Price and others. Ker, who pre-
sented the evidence to the grand
jury yesterday, holds that the pros
ecutiOn will not be barred by the
statute Of limitations, as held by
some lawyers interested in the
defense Of the star route defend
ants.
About year ago an agreement
was made by representatives of the
government in the star route cases,
to submit tO arbitration certain con-
tracts awarded Salisbury and
Parker, two prominent river con-
tractors. There were FIVE routes in
controversy, four held by Salisbury
and one by Parker; Brady had
granted excessive allowances for in
crease and expedition on these
routes, and Investigations made by
the postofice department disclosed,
it is said, a failure on the part of
the contractors to perform the SER
vice for which they were paid. The
contractors, rather than test the
merits Of the controversy in court,
preferred arbitration to determine
the amount of their Indebtedness TO
the government. The amount Of
Ave routes is in the neigh
borhoOd of 100000. The repre-
sentatiyes Of the government are
Second Postmaster General Elmer
and Chief Clerk Lyman, of Elmer's
