The first discovery Of gold in Georgia
was in White county more than sixty
years ago. Work has been carried on
since then continuously with more or
less vgor principally in the placers. LIT
Tie attention has been given to the veins
until quite recently. Now the owners are
awaking 10 the fact that they have veins
and that they are as rich as those in
any part OF the state. A New York
company, from Plattsburg has q new
mill near NacOOchee Valley which has
been running about two months The
results are so satisfactory that a more
contemplated.
Last week thirty hours running of the
little wooden mill on the Freeman prom
erty gave yield of thirty-nine penny
weights. About twelve tons of ore were
run through the mill, and as IL is an
extremely crude affair, a large per cent
or the gold was lost. Mr.. Freeman has
taken out over $1,000 worth of gold from
a small hole in the ground. The rich find
on the Martin place. which was reported
Two weeks ago has surpassed anything
or the kind in the gold belt of Georgia.

The banking firm of J. H. & A. L. James
Of Atlanta has been enjoined by Judge
Lumpkin from selling the bonds and
stocks which were given by Mrs. Lizzie
Il. Pendleton as securities for a note which
had been placed in the hands of the bank
ers, and the case was set for final hear
ing on May 16, at which time 1t will be
determined by the court what disposition
shall be made of the matter. Several
days ago Mrs. Pendleton received a notice
from the bankers that her securities given
to protect the note would be sold at pub
lie cutlery on Tuesday last, and she was
informed that the bankers would reserve
the right TO buy in a part or the whole
amount Of the bonds, If they so desired.
Early Tuesday morning Mrs. Pendleton
filed a petition with the superior court
asking that the bankers be restrained from
selling the bonds and stocks, as the note
for which they Were given as security was
the note of her husband and not for a
debt which she herself owed, and also
claiming that If the securities were sold al
public cutlery they would be sacrificed and
much of the value of the paper would not
be realized on account of the terms of the
forced sale. The petition stated that Mr.
PendletOn owed the firm a note in the
amount of $1.175.44. to secure which Mrs
Pendleton gave eighty-three bonds of the
Georgia Land and Improvement Company
of the face value of $lO) each. and also
500 shares of the stock of the Investment
Land Company. 1t was shown that the
security was worth several times the face
of the note, and as Mrs. Pendleton claimed
that she had not the means with which tC
protect her securities were they sold al
auction, she would be forced to lose much
money on account of the transaction
Judge Lumpxin granted temporary re-
straining order, enjoining the holders OF
the securities from making the sale
