Salt Springs In Georgia, and How to
Find Them.
The salt springs of Europe and of the
States and Territories west of the Mississip
pi, originate in the Oolitic and Cretaceous for
mations, which are not known in Georgia, or
are not very promising The springs east of
the Mississippi occur in the following forma
tions :
The first class of springs, including the
Great Kanawha of Virginia, thoee of Western
Pennsylvania, Muskingum, Ohio, Kentucky
and Middle Tennessee, is found just below
the coal in large basins or depressions in the
coalfields or towards their western border.
As the coal in Georgia is small in extent and
confined to the tops of the mountains, large
basins cannot be expected, and this class of
springs may not be looked for with much oer-
tainty. Still, as salt is found in immense
quantities in this formation, diligent search
may lead to the discovery of springs along
the bases of Pigeon, Lookout and Raccoon
mountains, and possibly in the valleys be
tween these mountains. Rev. George White,
in hi3 Statistics of Georgia, reports a pure
variety c? plaster on the plantation of Col.
Robert H. Tatum, in Dade oounty. This is
a good indication, as will be seen below.
The second class of springs is found con
siderably below the ooal, but iu the coal for
mation The only instance known to me is
the Holston Springs, near Abingdon, Va.
Here occurs a bed of rock salt; and the wells
sunk near it yield an almost saturated brine.
Eighteen gallons of the water afford one
bushel of salt, whereas the best brines of
Onondaga, N. Y., yield one bushel to 30 or
35 gallons, and sea water one bushel to 850
gallons. The formation of the Holston
Springs, as traoed out on Prof. Salford's Ge
ological Map of Tennessee, probably enters
Georgia about Taylor’s Ridge. Mr. White
reports a bed of gypsum near Ringgold.
The valleys on the west, between this and
smaller ranges of hills within a few miles as
also gups in tbo main ridge in Catoosa, Walk
er and Chattooga counties are promising lo
calities.
The third class of springs occurs in an
older formation, near the Silurian rocks. In
this are found the Onondaga Salt Spriugs of
New York, which have yielded over six mil
lions of bushels in a year. The Hon. James
Hamilton Couper, in his Sketch of the Geol
ogy of Georgia, considers this formation to
commence at the Chattoogatta range of moun
tains, and mentions a bed of anhydrous
limestone, whioh is a member of the Onon
daga salt group, near the Red Sulphur or
Catoosa Springs. This neighborhood and
the valleys at the base of Chattoogatta and
John’s Ridges, and the valleys between
John’s and Taylor’s Ridges deserved special
searoh. In his notioe of Floyd oounty, Mr.
White says—“ There is in this oounty a tract
of land, commencing on the west of the Oos-
tanaula and Coosa rivers, extending to Tur
nip mountain, the surface of which is almost
a perfeot plain, resembling the flat landB of
Houston oounty, badly watered. Marl is
found in several plaoes, and many salt lakes.”
The last sentenoe—certainly a remarkable
01>e —seem to refer to this tract of country,
but from the subsequent oontext, may be in
tended to apply to other parts of Floyd.
Citizens of the oounty, who famished this
information to the author, know the faots in
the case, and if there is any evidence of salt
lakes or salt springs, will oertainly bring it
to light in a more fall and satisfactory form.
The fourth class of springs occurs in a still
older formation, near the base of the Siluri
an, known in New York aa the medina sand
stone. This rock is a sandstone, sometimes
red and sometimes grey, and affords brine
springs throughout its whole extent. The
weiis are usually shallow, and not famishing
large supplies of water like the onondaga
rocks, have not been muoh worked. This
sandstone may be found east of the Cattoo-
gatta Ridge.
From the above it will be seen that some
members of the formations containing salt
oceur in the northwestern counties. The ex
act ealt groups may be absent; but when we
remember that no geological survey of that
portion of the State has been made, and that
the examinations of Eastern Tennessee and
Western North Carolina, which correspond
in geological position, have been cursory and
incomplete, it would be unreaaonable to say
that these groups are absent, because they
have not been found. They do not neoessa-
r ,jy extenJ continuously across with the
mountain ranges, but may be absent in many
places and occur only in local patches. A
geologist might make a pretty complete sur
vey of the whole region, and yet not discover
an isolated group, whioh would furnish
sufficient salt for the whole State. If
in times of peace a oompany were about to
embark in the manufacture of ealt for profit,
they might require more certain data before
they expended capital in sinking well* in
prospecting for salt. Rut now, when aaU is
necessary to oar national exiatenoe, a mere
probability should be sufficient to authorize a
search, and this probability ia furnished by
what has been said.
This search requires iw geologist. The
most valuable salt springs in the world have
been discovered by persons with no scien
tific attainments. A geologist, from the great
extent of country might spend two montha
with no good result. Whereas, if the citi
zens of that region were put on the alert, the
question might be settled, and without ex
pense, in two weeks. With salt selling at
fabulous prices, the small supply in the Con
federacy being rapidly exhausted, and our
coast so invested as to make the boiling of
sea water difficult and dangerous, the citi
zens of Northwestern Georgia need no argu
ment nor appeal to stimulate them to explore
the whole region thoroughly.
In prosecuting a search for salt, the fol
lowing indications or signs may be valuable :
1. Springs, ponds, marshes or bogs, which
have the taste of salt. The water need not
be strongly salined. Strong brine seldom
rises unaided to the surface. The slightest
taste of salt in a natural water will authorize
further operations, and may lead to to dis
covery of a saturated brine or a bed of rock
salt, as surely as a much stronger water.
2. Deer licks near creeks rivers or ponds.
All “ licks ” are not induced by salt. Wild
animals may be attracted by ooperas, alum or
other saline substances, and such plaoes of
resort are oommou in many parts of Middle
Georgia. But if “licks” be found near bodies
of water in upper Georgia, in the belts of
country above named, they should receive
attention. The Great Kanawha and Salina
Springs were originally buffalo and deer
“licks.” “Licks” distant from water are»not
bo promising, unless the earth taste salty.
3. Beds of gypBum or plaster-of-Parls.
This is an invariable oompanion of salt, tho’
not an infallibl indication, for gypsum may
occur without salL But, as salt never ap
pears without gysum, beds of gypsum in any
formation, whioh by the barest possibility
may oontuin salt, should be examined.—
Should “licks” be found in or near gypsum,
the indication of salt is very strong. It is
not oeartain that the beds reported above
really exist, but citizens of Dade oounty and
those living near Ringgold should search for
“lioks” iu these localities.
4. Springs or other waters from whioh rise
bubbles of inflamable gas. Many springs
yield gas whioh is not inflamable, and pools
or branches give off inflamable gas from de
caying leaves, &c.; these are not Intended.
But if springs without deoaying vegetable
matter give off bubbles whioh inflame on be
ing touched with a torch, they may indioate
salt. Such springs, oalled burning springs,
are common in Kentucky.
Should a pond, spring, marsh or lick hav
ing the taste of salt, pres ent itself, the next
thing will be to sink a well 15 to 20 feet
deep, to see if the water increases in strentgh.
If fresh water from above run in, a hollow
log or square trunk made by nailing four inoh
planks together, may be placed in the well
and the earth thrown in and rammed down
tightly. The salt water will rise in the log
to the top of the well. If the water increases
in saltness, the problem of salt springs is
solved, but further operations may require
capital and an outfit for boring.
Should this result be attained, I would
suggest that a full statement of all the faotB
be furnished to Gov. Brown, or to the Presi
dent of the Georgia Sait Manufacturing Co.,
Augusta, Ga. Means may thus be obtained
for a full investigation. The finder of a pro
ductive salt spring will be rewarded not only
with the Governor’s bounty, but with the
satisfaction of having done more for the sal
vation of the State than many regiments of
soldiers. JOSEPH E. WILLET,

In oonBequenoe of a Military Police being
established, i.nd a Provost Marshal having
been appointed, it becomes necessary for all
citizens to secure for their accommodation,

advantage to them io secure a permit from
their county officers, a- it will facilitate time
and save the troubling of their friends to
identify them.
AH citizens ot Atlanta will be furnished
with permits by application at the Provost
Marshal’s office, which permit will pass them
at any time; otherwise, they may be trou
