Within the last two weeks UICBO coun ty officials have hod grave apprehensions that their plans and thoao of Architect Meyers of grading down the Farnam front of the now court house and constructing the retaining walls , could not bo effectually carried out. It waa originally intended by them to bring down this front to a proper grade and having done this to construct a re taining wall whoeo base should bo ton foot below the concrete base of the foun dation of the court house and to bo only four feet farther out. This has boon found lately to bo impracticable , as the Immense weight of the building upon this frail foundation would impair its safety. This project will , therefore , bo abandon d , and another substituted. The feasibility of putting in n substantial retaining wall only two foot outside of thu line of the street , la being discussed , nnd mcots the general approval of the county com- nmalonors. Should this bo adopted the usu of four feet of the sldowalk space will bo necessitated , as n place for the bate of the stairway loading up to the coutt house. While gone the commissioners will visit Detroit and interview Architect Meyers upon this change of plan nnd ob tain his views in the promises.

Icpot-t of New nntl StartlliiR Discov eries In Georgia An Knthu- m&Bttu Account. pecial Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. DALTON , Gn. , December 8 , Recent ovolopmonts in the gold mining regions f Georgia , which begin around Villa Uca , in Carroll county , following the mountain ranges northeast into Murray nd across into the Danlonega region , re auch na to have revived the interest which was turned away by the wonderful "Jalifornin discoveries of forty years ago. mportaut discoveries of rich veins , some f them said to equal the Comstock lode , lave impelled the minors to invest he.iv- Iy in around Villa Ricn , from which 2,000,000 were extracted In the decade irccediug 1850 , are now yielding im- nouao sums daily. The Clopton mine has a vein 2,300 feet wide , which grows ichor ns it is penetrated. Thirty stamps vill bo running this winter. Tno Falla 3ity mine ia another which is giving a ich yield. The moat extensive work , iowover , ia being done by ho Ernestine Company , com- iosed of Louisville people , which 103 invested § 100,000 In machinery the jast summer. It has an immense engine , vlth 50-horse power boiler to run the nachiuory and hob ting apparatus at the haft. The drilling is done with com- ircssod air. It ia aaid that $50,000 willie io invested in machinery , which will make this ono of the moat scientifically drilled mines in the union. Around DahloncgaandNucolBvlllo , so well known .o . minors of forty years ago , over 200 atampa are in operation. The great sen- aatlou of the Georgia gold bolt , however , a connected with the mines situated in 3ohuthah mountain , alx miles from Spring Placo. For years it has boon a : radition among the natives that the mountain was a mass of nolid gold ; that it had baen marked by Do Soto as ho crossed the continent seeking the great river. Thooe who had penetrated the 'aatncascs reported that ovldencca piloted : hat frork had been once carried ou thoro. An old furnace of rude design way described , and those who had ex amined it found nuggets of gold worth From. 520 to § 50. One of the citizens of Murray , who vlaited thtf Chicago repub lican convention , mot there an old Now Mexican minor named Winkles , to whom tie told the tradition. With the spirit of adventure characteristic of his cun ning , Winkles found hla way to the apot. Ho spent a week In the mountain , and when ho came back it was with auch glittering talca of gold that ho was re garded aa a visionary. His persistence was such that a few gentlemen agreed to humor him , formed a comcany and gave him a small sum of money to work on. This was about six weeks ago. The land on which the mines wore discovered wan purchased on conditions , and a small company went to work with a heart ; good will. The mountain has been pen etrated only fifteen or twenty feet &nd tunnelling boa just been commenced. Solid masses of ore nave been encoun. torod from the beginning and the deopei the minors go the richor.ia the yield , The first assay a averaged i2.40 per ton , the second uaaay averaged $10 , and the third and last assay made shores an average of 5100 poi ton of ore. The value incrcasea ] } as the mountain is penetrated , and some opoci < monn taken out will assay $2,000 to the ton. The depth of the load ia nnkuowr and its richness beyond computation , Among the gentlemen whoso eervlcct were enliatod in the enterprise waa but Mr , Smith Stevenson , who , however , had but little confidence in the wander ing miner's roproacntutione. and who did more or less kicking when called npoa for an additional appropriation to pusl matters. Finally to get rid of what he considered it "IThlto elephant , " ho sold hia claim ID Walter Anderson , of Spring- Gold , ( id. , for § 300. Mr. Anderson hut just been olferod and refused § i0,000 ! foi hia claim , which was only ouu-uirlh ol the company's atock. The sensation created by these devel opinents among the niiuora is wonderful It sounds like the California talk of yean ago. The mountain ia dally being croaaee by parties of men looking for indicationo It is claimed that three other veins havi been struck equal to thla great mine , one parties are now negotiating for machinery to begin work at three. This mountain received its name fron the Indians , who had a fort upon it , thi ruins of which are still to bo coon. Clay ton , in Rabun county , and the apex o Cohouttah mountain were thu two atrato glo points for all the Indians from thi Atlantic to the Mississippi river. A these two points the warriors would ue aemblo and awoop down upon the country on all aides and they would retreat t < them whenever driven back by their ad vcraariea. Thla region ia rich in rominla concos of Cherokee timca. In fact mam of the citizens have Indian blood in thai vt'ina. They were great gold hunters bu wore very accretive , keeping the knowl edge ot mines to themselves. Thi knowledge is now in possession of man ; of theao half-breeds who nfter the discov ery cf the points vtill at ouco toll of the ! paat hiatory , nnd from the awakoiiin ; which is now taking place in Georgi mines a lively year may be oxpoctci among the gold hunters.
