THE young and growing cities of the
west are not alone in their increases OF
public debt. Even staid and cOnser-
vative old Boston, the "Athens of
America" metropolis of New England
and capital of a commonwealth which
proudly boasts that it "requires the
education of the people as the safeguard
of order and civil liberty" is piling up
a mountain of debt which bids fair to
be a greater, though it can hardly be
called a grander, monument than the
mighty granite shaft commemmorating
the battle of Bunker Hill. The debt,
which is reported to be 'steadily in
creasing," now amounts to nearly
fifty millions, upon which the annual
interest charge is over two millions
And Boston is no exception. Nearly
all the great eastern cities, and many
of the smaller ones, have debts that are
proportionately larger than those of
the cities and towns of the west, with
possibly few exceptions

as early as 1855 or 1856 this view was adj

GEORGIA's GOLD MINES.
No Reason Why They Should Not
Yield More Than the Alaska Mines


Editor Morning News: In your edition
of the 18th inst, reference is made to
recent discoveries of gold, in various parts
of the world, both by land and water.
The purpose of my noting anything in said
article is only in so far as 1t relates to
the state of Georgia. You assert that
There is no use saying anything about
the gold mines of Georgia. There
is a great deal of gold, but it will not pay
to mine it until genius discovers a pro-
cess for extracting the gold from low
grade ores at a profit. Right here 1 beg
to call your attention to the Alaska
Treadwell gold mine, at Douglas Island,
Alaska, for the year ending May 81, 1895,
a net profit of $909, 535 was divided on ore
of a total value of &. 60 per ton. The cost
of mining, milling, roasting, alternating
administration, ETC., amounted to $1.S
per ton, and net profit $1.2S per ton. For
the year ending May 81, 1895, a profit of
$l97, 342 was shown, the ore having aver
aged $2.97 per ton. The total cost of min
ing, milling, roasting, chorinating and
administration was $1.16 per ton; yet the
cost of labor and fuel at Douglas Island
averages three times as much as in Geor-
gia
1t evidently pays in Alaska to work low
grade ore;. then why not in Georgia, with
the same automatic appliances, as in
Alaska and other places. We can work
800 days in the year and our facilities are.
vastly superior to Alaska in transporta-
ton, labor, cost of living, etc.
Now, then, take the Piedmont region,
commencing in Rabun county and go
southwest to HARRISON and Carroll, en-
bracing in this area the counties of Hab-
ersham, Lumpkin, Dawson, Cherokee,
Milton Cobb, Paulding and others and you
find there as fine gold bearing veins as
are found in Colorado. Montana, or any
where In the west, where the enterprising
railroad advertiser would have the world
believe that mountains of gold and silver
ore tower to the skies, whereas, if in our
own state per cent. of the advertising
were done that is done elsewhere, Georgia
to-day would assume the appearance of
California in '49, or of Pixies Peak In SO.
That our light may not be hidden under
bushel for the want of information, beg
to submit the following:
The Royal mine in HARRISON county
Georgia, has an output of 5000 per month
on Sc ore, with a forty-stamp mill.
The Creighton mine in Cherokee county,
with a twenty-stamp mill, made dividend
of $4,000 in 1896, on $3.50 ore.
The Halle mine in the northern part of
South Carolina made a dividend of $4,000
last year, on $3.50 ore, with sixty-stamp
mill. Capt Adolp Theis is the superin-
tendent, and the man who has given to
the world the improved chlorination pro-
cess. 1 am reliably informed that
throughout the Piedmont region the ores
will average Yield of not less than 81 to
s. per ton gross. If these facts were made
known to the world, I cannot see WHY
Georgia would not come to the front in
this regard, as Well as the Klondyke, or any
other section. g. p. Rossignol

COTTON GROWERS CONVENTION.
Farmers Urged to Meet I'm Atlanta
on Dec. Is.

Editor Morning News: There is no

more than ever by the methods that have
obtained for the two past seasons, re-
sulting in the lowest price which ever has
prevailed for their staple crop cotton. And,
until very recently, the best Informed
could give no reason for the depressed
state of prices. Recent articles in your
paper, suggesting farmers agreement as
to a general plan of marketing has led
many to suspect that the crossroads buy
ers are largely responsible. Our commits
sion men of port cities practlced better
methods, and there was a better UNDER
standing among them than there can pos
eibly be arrived at by the army of buyers
for foreign shippers now How did our
port commission men lose their occupation
and profits 80 completely? 'Twould be
better for the farmers interest IL they
were reinstated and the commission OF

Is time to call a convention of the cotton
farmers, that they may arrange to have
the crop marketed according to the best
method of handling such an immense
capital as is involved in the cotton crop
of the south.
+ Direct trade with the European spinners
was thought to be quite the thing for the
cotton farmers, many claiming that the
