GOLD IN GEORGIA.
Revival of the Fever of 1S4O-An Old In
dian Tradition In Barlow County.

Revival of the Fever Of 1S4O-An Old In
dian Tradition In Barlow County.
The revival of the Georgia gold in
terest is attracting many practical
miners from the west and southwest,
where the fever has somewhat subsidized,
and marvellous stories are being told of
the richness of the ores found in many
localities in the northern part of the
State. DahlOnega has long been famous
for its mines. The State agricultural
school is situated there, and after a hard
rain the BOYS flock into the streets to
pick up nuggets that have been washed
out of the sand. Mines are being dis
covered everywhere, and old traditions
are revived by white-haired settlers
which incite men, young and old, to
join in the hunt for the veins they tell of.
Near Gainesville an aged farmer tells
the story of an Indian chief which has
aroused the interest of the neighbour
hood to fever heat. When Governor
Troup drove out the Cherokee tribe and
settled it in the West, this chief returned
to old haunts in Barlow County, and
gathering all his white friends about
him, assembled a little mound sur
rounded by an amphitheater of hills. He
turned himself round slowly three times,
saying in his native tongue, "From
where L stand l see a mine that
would buy the richest kingdom
in the world" He disappeared
Suddenly, and was never seen again.
Some say he spoke of silver mine,
others believe he meant gold one, but
whatever it was dilligent search has
been made throughout the neighbor-
hood. Rich mines of manganese and
gray iron ore have been found by those
in search of the gold and silver; copper
has been discovered in large quantities,
plumbago and mica and yellow ochre
unearthed, as it were, by accident
all showing the marvellous mineral
wealth of this section. Numerous old
shafts have been found, shafts which
must have been worked from half to
three-quarters of a century ago. In ex-
cavating an eighty-foot cut on the Gin
cinnati and Georgia railroad, square
hewn timbers in an excellent state of
preservation were removed from the
roadbed? No outlet to the shaft through
which they must have been lowered
there was ever discovered.
A murder or accident forty years
back was unearthed short time ago by
the discovery of an old shaft. at the
bottom of which the skeleton of the vic
tim was found.
Fort Mountain. in Murray County, is
celebrated for wonderful spring which
boils up from its very top. Near the
spring are the remains of fort, from
which the mountain takes its name,
built, it is said, by De Soto to guard
against the attacks of the Indians
while his men worked the rich gold
mines of the range of which this noun
tain is spur.
Miners are prospecting in the neigh
borhood with great diligence, and as
much excitement prevails there as
characterized the recent strike in the
Cohuttah Mountains, of which the Trib-
mne spoke the other day.-N Y. Tri6-

ALlZARD OF THE SEA.

The Marvellous Adventure of Whaling
Crew Up Where the Icebergs stand
The whaling bark Alaska, which ar
rived in this port few days ago from
the Arctic Ocean, brings strange
story of the narrow escape from death
of six of her crew. The first officer,
George johnson, stated the circum-
stances to a Chronicle reporter, as
follows: On the 10th of last October,
when the vessel was forty-six miles
south of Alaska, an object was per-
ceived in the distance whose proper
tons and shape indicated it to be a
monster sea lion. A boat was imme-
diately lowered and placed in charge of
First Officer johnson and five of the
crew, named Andrew Nelson, William
Wilson, Antoine Niaga, George Marsh
field and Hans Stuten. As the distance
was being decreased between the boat
and the huge animal they became con-
WINGED that it was the famed sea SER
pent. When they came within "a few
hundred yards the monster made a
dash for the boat, striking out its i'm
mense tail against the craft. Several
of the occupants were precipitated into
the water, but were rescued with diff
Guilty. A harpoon and lance were fired
into the body of the beast and it disap-
peared beneath the surface Half an
later it reappeared, floating on the
water, dead.
1t was secured with ropes and towed
to the vessel and hoisted on the deck.
There the capture was seen to be vii
demonstrating thing. Its head closely
resembled that of an alligator, while
the body resembled that of lizard. 1t
measured thirty-three feet in length,
the tail alone being nine feet long. The
tail was cut off and brought to this city
and is now on exhibition in water
front saloon.-San Francisco Chronicle.

'TWERE VAIN.

Think not to please all men, strive as you

Twere vain, impossible; for there remaineth
still -
The man whom nought can please or satisfy
BY noble effort or by full endeavor,
By warmest impulse i'm no way whatever.
OF such as he. set heart and mind at ease;
Go on thy way. and take no heed OF these,
For so twill be forever.
Let not thy soul be troubled that they say:
He might have done this thing, or that, a
better way.
Mayhap thy way is best, dow can they know,
or see
With thine own eyes, what seemeth best to
thee?
Check the quick tear that steals into thine
eye
Because one rudely speaks; keep back the
sigh
Nor pale thee so;
For they will call 1t weakness who stand by;
Though well know
1t tells no weakness on thy earnest part
Nor loss of manhood. Ills only that thou art
Too eager, for approval; and that what
thou do
Should please all others as 1t pleaseth you.
No more than this thou askest of Just praise,
So willing thou to do thy best always.
But thou must quah all dregs of bitterness
Before thy soul can know supreme Success.

If a baby is born small placard OF
red satin and white lace is hung upon the

those interested the trouble of making

The country houses are decorated
with legends. The retired gentleman
seems anxious that all the world should
