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 Crttaceout 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 Eanawha of Virginia, those of Western
Pennsylvania, Muskingum, Ohio, Kentucky
and Middle Tennessee, is found just below
i he coal in large basins or depressions in the
coalfields or towards their western border.
As the coal in Georgia Is small in extent and
oonflned to the tops of the mountains, large
basins cannot be expected, and this olass of
springs may not be looked for with muoh cer
tainty. Still, as salt is found in immense
quantities iu this formation, diligent search
may lead to the discovery of springs along
ihe bases of Pigeon, Lookout and Raccoon
mountains, and possibly in the valleys be
tween theso mountains. Rev. George White,
iu hia Statistics of Georgia, reports a pure
variety of piaster cu the plantation of Col.
Robert H. Tatum, in Dade county This is
a good indication, as will be seen below.
The second class of springs is found con
siderably below the coal, but in the coal for
mation. The only instance known to me is
the Holston 8prings, near Abingdon, Va.
Here occurs a bed of rock salt; and the wolls
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 traced oat 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 gaps in the main ridge in Catoosa, Walk
er amijChattocga couutiaa 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 Uoupcr, iu his Sketch of the Geol
ogy cf Georgia, considers this formation to
commence at the Chattoogatta range of moun
tains, and mentions a bed of anhydrous
limestone, which 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
search. In his notice of Floyd county, Mr.
White sayB—“ There is in this county 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 perfect plain, resembling the flat lands of
Houston county, badly watered. Marl is
found in several places, and many salt lakes.”
The last sentence—certainly a remarkable
ODe—seem to refer to this tract of country,
but from the subsequent context, may be in
tended to apply to other parts of Floyd.
Citizens of the county, who furnished this
information to the author, know the facts in
the case, and if there is any evidence of salt
lakes or salt springs, will certainly bring it
to light ia a more full 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 as the medina sand
stone. This rook is a sandstone, sometimes
red and sometimes grey, aDd affords brine
springs throughout its whole extent. The
woli3 are usually shallow, and not furnishing
large supplies of water like the onondaga
rocks, have not been mneh 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
occur in the northwestern counties. The ex
act salt groups may be absent; bat when we
remember that no geological survey of that
portion of the State has been made, and that
the examinations cf Bastern Tennessee and
Western North Carolina, which correspond
in geological position, have been cursory and
incomplete, it would be unreasonable to say
that the^e groups are absent, because they
.have no: eeaa found. They do not necessa
rily extend continuously across with the
mountain ranges, but may be absent in many
places anl occur only ia local patches. A
geologist might make a pretty complete sur
vey of the waoie region, and yet not discover
an isolated group, which would furnish
sufficient salt for the whole State. If
ia times of peace a company were about to
embark in the manufacture of salt for profit,
they might require more certain data before
they expended capital in sinking wells in
prospecting for salt. But now, when salt is
necessary to oaf national existence, a mere
pTobsliliiy should be sufficient to authorise a
search, and this probabiUtf is farsdshed by
what has been said.
This search requires no geologist- The
most valuable salt springs in the world have
been discoverel by persons wi.h no scien
tific attainments. A geologist, from the great
extent of country might spend two months
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 indicaliortB or sjyns may be valuable:
1. Springs, ponds, marshes or bogs, which
have the taste of salt. The water need not
be strongly aalined. Strong brine seldom
rises unaided to the surface. The alighteat
taste of salt ia a natural water v?ill authorize
farther operations, and may lead to to dis
covery of a saturated brine or a ted of rock
salt, as surely as a muca stronger water.
2. Deer licks near creeks rivers or ponds.
All “ licks ” are not induced by salt. Wild
animals may be attracted by coperas, alum or
other saline substances, and such places of
resort are common 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 Salitia
Springs were originally buffalo and deer
lickB.” “Licks” distant from water arerr-ot
so promising, unless the earth taste salty.
3. Beds of gypsum or plaster-of-Paris.
This is au invariable companion of salt, tho’
not an infallibl indication, for gypsum may
occur without salt. But, as salt never ap
pears without gysum, beds of gypsum in any
formation, which by the barest possibility
may contain ealt, should be examined.—
Should “licks” be found iu or near gypsum,
the indication of salt is very sUrong. It ia
net ceartain that tho beds reported above
really exist, but citizens cf Dade county and
those living near Ringgold should search for
‘licks” in these localities.
4. Springs or other waters from which rise
bubbles of inliaoiable gas. Many springs
yield gas which is not inflamable, and pools
or branches give off inflamable gas from de
caying leaves, &c.; ihe3e are not intended.
But if springs without decaying vegetable
matter give off bubbles which inflame on be
ing touched with a torch, they may indicate
salt. Suoh springs, called burning springs,
are common ia Kentucky.
Should a pond, spring, marsh or lick hav
ing the taste of ealt, pros 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 inch
planks together, may be placed in the well
and the earth thrown iu and rammed down
tightly. The salt water will rise in the log
to the top of the well. If tbe water increases
in saltness, the problem of salt pprings 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 facts
be furnished to Gov. Brown, or to the Presi
dent of tbe Georgia Salt 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 consequence of a Military Poiioe being
established, and a Provost Marshal having
been appointed, it beoomes necessary for all
citizens to secure for their acoommodatlon,
a pass or permit. To residents of the
country, to avoid trouble, it would be of
advantage to them io secure a permit from
their county officers, as it will facilitate time
and save the troubling of their friends to
identify them.
All citizens of 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
bled by the Police at late hours of the night.
Sentinels will recognize permits trom the
Judges or Clerks of the Superior or Inferior
Courts; also from the Mayor of the city.
