The Singleton mill withstood heavy rains that halted others briefly. Directors met in Gainesville on the 18th to discuss conditions set by Mr. Sovey and Mr. Allen, who has long mined at Calhoun. Mr. Sovey predicts a major mining deal in the Auraria district in coming days. Local residents welcome these developments for Lumpkin county. T. R. Lovey noted that limited work during high water at the Liberty Bell Mine yielded results exceeding expectations. Water access on gold belt properties could pay with sensible operation.
