That Eugenic
Stuff Will Be
Pulled Here

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. Georgia will
have chance to say at the next
session of the legislature whether or
not she wants a eugenic marriage law
like that of New Jersey.
Colonel Walter P. Andrews, Fulton
county representative, was so i'm
pressed with the film presentation of
the Briaux drama Damaged Goods"
which deals with the effects of terrible
diseases, that he has announced he
will introduce a medical certificate
bill or "eugenic marriage law" at the
coming session.
The substance of the bill, like that Of
New Jersey would simply be that the
state would require certificate of
physical fitness before issuing a mar
riage license to anybody.

IN DAYS OF GOLD
Immense Output Follows DisCOv-
cry of Metal in California.
For Eleven Years, From 1850 to 1861
the Yield Was Prodigious, Amount
ing in 1852 to Over
$e5, 200, 600.

Washington.-"Th historically i'm
portant discovery of gold in California
was made in January, 184S, at John
Suffers mill on South Fork of Ameri-
can river, near Coloma, point only
ten or fifteen miles southwest of the
town of Auburn" says statement by
the geological survey.
From 1850 to 1853 the greatest
yield was derived from the gravels,
and the largest annual output for
this period was more than 100000
In 1852 There was some reaction in
1854, due to previous wild speculation,
but production of about $50,0e0,0O0 a
year, chiefly from placer mines, was
maintained up to 1861.
AT first the gold was won chiefly
from the gravels along the present
streams Those who first got posses
sion OF the rich bars on American,
Yuba, Feather and Stanislaus rivers
and some of the smaller streams in
the heart of the gold region made at
times from $1,000 to $4,000 day. In
1848 $500 to $500 a day was not I'M
usual luck; but, on the other hand,
the income of the great majority OF
miners was far less than that of men
who seriously devoted themselves to
trade or even to common labor.
THE gold pan, the rocker the
'tom,' the sluice and the hydraulic
giant, or monitor named in the order
Of increasing efficiency, were the tools
successfully used by the miners. Into
the rocker and the tom the miner
shoveled gravel or dirt rocking the
machine as he poured in water and
catching the gold, often with the aid
of quicksilver, on rifles set across the
bottom of his box Sometimes stream
was diverted into a flume to lay bare
the gravel in its bed so that the miner
could get at it.
''In sluicing, the gravel was shov
eled into a similar but much longer
box through which a stream of water
was allowed to run.
"The hydraulic giant was employed
to wash into long riffie-set sluices i'm
mense quantities OF gravel, especially
from the higher (Tertiary) deposits
much Of which was too lean to work
out by hand. Water was brought for
many miles In bitches and fumes from
the high Sierra and conducted under
great head to nozzle, from which II
was projected with tremendous force
against the gravel.
ut was the vast quantity of refuse
washed into the streams by these by
draulic operations that brought about
the conflict between mining and agri
cultural interests, finally dec I'd In
favor of the farmers"
