Teachtree as the city's most interest
Jig and characteristic thoroughfare,
according to August Kampe. well
known French author who has been
gazing with keen interest on the CAPT

Beach for the winter.
He says that Atlantians, perhaps, do
not realize it because they have been
accustomed to seeing it all their lives,
hut that Decatur street, with it's hum
dreds of negro types Its pawnshops,
fried-fsh stands, its Syrian grocers
and Asiatic peddlers, is as full of color
and human interest as the Bowery in

or the quai at Marseilles.
IF you Georgians ever produce a
great literature or a great author" he
said, the inspiration will probably
come from Decatur street, and what it
stands for"
About the only kind of literature that
has yet come from it, however, is
from the typewriters of the police
court reporters, one of whom has been
Inspired to weekly verse. One of his
choice items is:

THE WORLDS DEEPEST MINE.

Where is the deepest mine in the
world? That is a question very few
people in this country can answer cor
rectly. Even most mining experts
would probably make wrong guess
unless they had made rather exhaus-
tive inquiries anent the subject-for it
is located in a section Of the world
where you would least expect to find
it. In the forests which cover the hills
that cluster about the mouth of the
nine wild monkeys are chattering and
jumping about from limb to limb of
the graceful palms which afford them
food as we'll as shelter, while among
the bright-hued flowers exquisite orch
IDS watt their perfume and display
their beauty for the benefit of these
shadows and the gorgeous red-blue-
yellow macaws add their racous voices
to the medley of sounds, while splendid
butterflies wave their large wings of
irridescent blue and green and gold to
enhance the riot of color in these
tropic realms.
Tropic realms? Verify, for the deep
est mine-gold or of any other metal
is located in Brazil. 1t is near a place
bearing the euphonious name of Villa
Nova de Lima, in the State of Minas
Geraes, about $50 miles north of Rio
de Janeiro. 1t has been worked, more
or less Systematically, for something
over 80 years, and yet few of us in the
United States have ever heard of the
place, much less of the mine, which is
known as the MORO Velho and is own
ed and operated by an English COM
pan.
Last year two young professors of
geology, Benjamin LIE Roy Miller, OF
Lehigh University, and Joseph T. Sing
ewald, Jr., of John Hopkins. struck
out for foreign parts and wended their
way even into the hidden recesses Of
South America with the view of find
ing out something in regard to the
mineral resources of the western hem
isphare. They investigated almost all
of the known mining districts of the
southern continent and brought back
with them vast store of information
relative to the mineral wealth of the
various countries visited, and it was in
Brazil that they found this unusual
and in some respects unrivalled gold
mine They tell about it in an article
il the December numtar of the Bull
letin of the Pan American Union
Washington, D. c. from which the
following facts are taken.
The Moro Velho mine is located in
the gold belt of Brazil, where the Por-
.tUguese were first induced to settle by
the discovery of the yellow metal The
first gold was discovered in 1899 near
tie present city of Ouro Preto. The
sold was coated with black substance
and hence was called "ouro preto"-
Hack gold. The city which they found
cd was long called Villa RIGA de Ouro
Preto-the Rich City of Black Coda
name which was somewhat cumber
some even for the Portuguese. so thew
finally shortened it to just Ouro Prato,
the name by which it is known today
Once upon a time it was about the
most important city in Brazil, gold
working surrounding it and the valu-
able metal being obtained from the
