The Dry Hollow Mine is located on the 250-acre lot, No. 126, 11th district, the northwest corner lying along the south bank of the Chestatee. Years ago, considerable work was done on this mine. The ore is quartz, containing large quantities of auriferous pyrite. No work has been done on the mine, for several years; but it is highly spoken of, by the people of Dahlonega, even though the owner, who lives in the north, seems not to have the cordial approval of some of them, because a guard is kept on the lot, to prevent any one from visiting the mine.
