1) M. Lu Mining Company stock certificate #202. To Max Georgii for 1,000 shares in 1884. Green on white with an underground mining vignette. Signed by secretary AR Steward and president I Whitson Valentine. Yeats mentions the White Path Mine, "There are numerous current reports of nuggets having been found, at different mines, in Georgia ; but none of them compare, in size, with the above. A nugget found at the White Path mine, Gilmer county, which was said to have weighed about 4 pounds." He goes on to write, "The most noted gold mine in Gilmer county is the White Path Mine, located near the Marietta & North Georgia R. R./ six miles northeast of Ellijay....This placer was discovered, in the early forties, by W. J. Holt ; and it has, since, been worked almost continuously, producing, it is claimed, from its earliest workings to the present, more than one hundred thousand pennyweights of gold. The old miners tell, what now seem to be almost fabulous stories, about the richness of certain localities, now known as Austin Bluff, Spriggs' Hollow, etc. These stories, although doubtless exaggerated, nevertheless, evidently contain much truth, as they come from various sources, and, frequently, from men, whose veracity, on other points, would not be questioned."
