lars Per Ton.
Nacoochee, Ga, May 7.-(Special)-The
first discovery of gold in Georgia was in
this (White) county more than sixty years
ago. Work has been carried on since
then continuously with more or less vigor
principally in the placers. Little atten-
ton has been given to the veins until quite
recently. Now, we are awakinS to the
fact that we have veins. and that they are
rich those in any part of the state.
A New York company, from Plattsburg,
has a new mill near Nacoochee Valley,
which has been running about two months.
The results are so satisfactory that
more extensive plant is being contem-
plated
few days since visit was made to a
mine now being worked by w. j. Freeman,
a noted miner of this section. The prop
erty is owned by some of the Lumsdens,
and is in control of J. r. Lumsden, of this
place, who owns n number of valuable
mineral properties in this section. When
Mr.. Freeman began operations the vein
at the surface was. while rich, only a few
inches wide. Now, at a depth of thirty
feet the vein is three feet wide. and has
continued to get richer as the depth in
creased. Last week, thirty hours run
ming of the little wooden mill on this prop
erty, gave yield of thirty-nine penny
weights. About twelve tons of ore were
run through the mill. and as it is an ex-
tremely crude affair a large per cent of the
gold was lost.
Mr. Freeman has taken out over $l,OO
worth of gold here from small hole in the
ground.

was reported two weeks ago. has sur

Tuesday a singular story came to
light. The plaintiff is Mrs. Elizabeth
Cavanaugh, an aged woman who owns
considerable property, and she desig-
mates as the defendant her son, Rob-

naugh. She charges them with having
conspired to rob her of her possessions
and with having kidnapped her and
caused her to be held q prisoner for
four months in a local private insane
asylum.
Years ago Mrs. Cavanaugh was poor
and took in washing. She saved her
money and invested in the Mission
sand wastes. When the city grew and
her property became VARIABLE she rose
to comfortable circumstances. Then,
to add to her prosperity, she recently
won a snug sum in n lottery. After
this strike of good fortune her troubles
began. Her husband refused to work and
her son induced her to execute deed
of trust placing all her property in
his hands. He and his father, Ii Is al
legged, then took her forcibly from the
house one night and conveyed her to
an asylum, from which she was re-
leased by another son, a student in the
Jesuit college, to whom she managed
