Gold Mines of Georgia. 



tolerable patches could be obtained, especially on No. 2. The 

 branches 1, 2, and 3, are always wet and afford sufficient water to 

 wash out the gold; the main branch could easily be made to work 

 machinery for that purpose ; all the other branches are dry, except 

 in rainy weather, or after a wet season. 



The great deposit of gold, was found on No. 1 and is supposed to 

 have been disintegrated from veins on the adjacent ridge. No. 2 af- 

 fords some beautiful and rich specimens, and I am told is considered 

 fully as valuable as No. 1 although it has not been worked, except in 

 some experimental pits.
