AS good perfumery from flowers is made
at the south as is imported from abroad.
A common method of extraction is to
make layers of beef tallow and blooms,
then cut up the tallow and soak it in alco-
hol, an alright box being first provided
with panes Of glass that just fit into IT,
The tallow is laid upon the glass, and the

they were simply enormous. Indeed in the

them look as large Us possible.

A mile and q half from Franks, /.
T., a very large spring of clear,
sparkling water bubbles up through
the gravel at the foot of Boggie
mountain, tumbles swiftly down the
hills over numerous falls and runs q
big Touring mill at Franks for the
Hon. B. +. Byrd. In the water is q
substance that attaches itself to the
buckets of the wheel, forming q
hard, smooth stone about them that
has to be broken off every six weeks
with hammer.
y Wood or bones thrown into the
water are petrified in a very short
time, and rare and curious forma-

stream. Near the mill the roots of
a large fallen tree, over but not in
the creek, are all turned into stone.

few are being worked. The rest
are II ten-feet hole in the ground
waiting for someone to come along
and buy them. AS many Of these
locations will be free to anyone to
take after Jan. LIST, and a greater
number after a year from January,
the chances for poor man to pick
up something good are promising.
Nearly all locations are east and
west and where the north and
south water courses cut through
the ridges is where they look for
the float quartz, which followed up
leads to the ledge. There are not
many locations east of Florence,
for the placer ground did not ex-
tend far that way; but north one
mile is the Fisher Smith mine, the
first one to bring ore, and the yield
was $12 per ton. Near them is
the Ozark, then owned by Rhodes
& Fitzgerald and since sold for
$4,000. The yield was ST. per ton.
Three miles south of Florence and
one and One-half miles south of the
mill is the mine of Dwight 4 Nc
Lean, which gave up $40 per ton.
Near this is the celebrated Gold
Bug, of Cone & Wells, which gave
$50 per ton after they had taken
out $50 per ton with a rocker,
making fifty dollars per ton in all
and the best in the camp.
Southwest of the mill is the Red
Bird, of Overlander & Co., which
went $12. and near the mill is the
Waverly, which gave s25. These
were all actual mill tests, the ore
weighed in and the gold weighed
out at S12 per ounce. These are
the only mines that have been
through the mill test when l came
away. OF those that look well
and show up well under the NOR
tar pestle, gold pan method, the
woods are full of 'em.
! think the best mines will yet
be found on the low ground.
Either this has to be the case or
the veins must pinch out as you
go down. The expense of raising
the water out of a shaft is keeping
many good mine from being
worked. l believe more gold will
yet be taken from the quartz than
was taken from the placers in the
sixties. 1t may take longer to do
it, but it will come all the same or
the mines must fail as you go
down.
Miners wages are SO per day;
ordinary labor So, and board so
cents per day. Miners were in de-
mand but others not so much.
don't want anyone to start for
Florence right away. Better wait
until May. The snow is deep
there now and is likely to be
deeper yet. But when you do
come, come and see Florence.
