Discovery of Rich Vein Near Spring
A special from Spring Place, Ga, says: Tic
discovery of huge veins Of gold on Fort Noun
tain has now been supplemented by the dis
covery of silver in wonderful yield, in oonse-
quence of which there is great excitement in
that section, and men are flocking there from
all parts Of the country. The most valuable
deposit yet known is on the land of Mr. Tyler,
seven miles from this place and IS from Dali
ton, which is the nearest point to the railroad.
A shaft 6 feet deep, wide and 20 long has
been sunk under the superintendent of an
old miner. Tho "lead" is at least 1900 feet
wide, 800 feet deep and Is miles long, being
the same that is now worked at Ducktown,
Tenn. Here ore was found at five feet from
the surface as rich as that obtained at 200 feet
in the famous Comstock of Nevada, assaying
from $50 to 5000 per ton. 1t is said to be
more advantageousy situated than any mine in
the West. 1t will drain itself to depth Of 600
feet, has water supply sufficient to operate
10 smelter stacks and all other machinery
necessary. A railroad will be constructed to
it from 1ilton, distance OF about 20 miles.
1t is said that ore assaying only 81 per ton
could be worked with larger profit than SIC

runs the govelnment-hmg, cabinet and

than Warwick, because he has not re-

has guided all his movements like puppet, so
that he is actually ruler ofthe pigmy realm and
its financial ministry. His dream is to exer-
disc equal sway on this coast, and SO far as
money is concerned and intrigue can push him
on, he has advanced toward the goal of his am
bition. In no eastern stats could he have OBJ
tained such success, because there the moral
sense has been developed, and no man by mere

whole branches of business. Here he has the

An Internal Machine Discovered on n

What might have been terrible accident
came near happening on the Central railroad,
between Fanwood and Westfield, Pa, recently.
A track walker, while making his rounds,
found large square package with two shawl

probably the package had been dropped from

that by placing it within short distance of the

by the track walker it is believed that it
would have been struck by the next train and

scheme. An advertisement has appeared re-

postage, piece OF marble Clipped from stone

in handsome plush frame and hand-painted.

hope to arrest the schemers soon.

CRUISE OF THE ALBATHOSS,
Extended Search for Food Fish i'm
southern Waters,


The fish commission steamer Albatross left
the Washington navy yard lately for Norfolk,
Va, where she Will remain until January 8,
md then sail for southern waters on cruise
OF several months. The principal object of
the cruise will be to make n thorough research
OF the fishing grounds of the Cult OF Mexico,
in order to ascertain the abundance and
varieties of the food fishes that may be cap
tured in that local ty. The ship will probably
make several dredgings in the vicinity Of Cape
Hatteras, where it is believed that the tile fish
exist, although none have ever been found in
that region. This valuable food fish was dis
covered in great abundance on the edge of the
gulf stream about 100 miles from Newport, II.
l., and it is surmisei that they must exist
further south. If found there in any quantity,
it will be valuable source of industry to the
fishermen OF the southern coast The Alba
tross will probably touch, going at Key Wet
Havana, the coast OF Yucatan, and returning,
at New Orleans and Pensacola. Several
scientists will join the vessels at either of the
last named places and finish the cruise.
