The Universalist Church owns lots 305 and 257, 13th district, 2 1/2 miles in a straight line northeast of Dawsonville. This property was mentioned as a gold prospect in previous bulletins of the Georgia Geological Survey, and is probably the same as that prospected in 1917 by R. E. Garmon, of Dawsonville.
On the east side of a small northeastward flowing branch, 175 yards north-northwest of New Bethel Church, a 6-foot pit in the wooded hillside exposes 18 feet of somewhat decomposed schist and fresh hard gray banded quartzite which carries pyrite crystals about 1/16 inch square. In the center of this formation, which strikes N. 30°~ 35° E. and dips 45° SE., a thickness of 3 feet contains approximately 20 per cent pyrite, which forms thin, fine-grained parallel layers in quartzitic gangue. As many as six of these fine ore bands occur in a thickness of one inch. No gossan is found at this place.
