“It gives me pleasure t<> forward to
the Intelligencer, for publication, a
very valuable essay on the mineral re
sources of North ami Northwestern
Georgia, by Sir. Dad-low, of Pottsville,
Penusylvaui t. This gentleman is the
author of a recent and most valuable
work on coal, iron and oil. The essay
which I send you was written in an
swer to questions proposed by myself.
It will be read with interest and profit
by every thoughtful Georgian. Sir.
Daddow’s visit to the coal regions was
confined chiefly to Alabama, and very
slightly directed to the Georgia coal
iields. He has written to me that his
essay would have been much modified
if he had previously read my report to
Colonel llulbert. I make this state
ment least the essay might make a
wrong impression as to the value and
extent of the Georgia coal fields. It
is more than adequate to the wants of
the State, and is within twenty miles of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad.”

0. W. Howard, E<g., Kingston, Gd:
Dear Sin.—Your letter of November
2d, asking my advice and opinion in re
gard to the best manner of developing
the minerals, particularly the coals, of
Northwestern Georgia, was duly re
ceived and acknowledged; and now, at
my first opportunity, I will endeavor
to reply as briefly as possible.
Your flattering mention of our book
entitled “Coal, Iron and Oil'’ is prop
erly appreciated, though our mention
of the minerals of Georgia is exceed
ingly meagre and unsatisfactory. My
visit and investigations in Alabama
and Georgia were hasty and princi
pally limited to the coal regions of the
former State and the iron ores on the j
Coosa. But, even during that hasty I
visit, I saw enough of the mineral re
sources of North Georgia, to feel con-1
viuced of their great future value and J
importance to the State, and in sever
al tviiYniiavne vlumH th«ii made, to your ,
itewHpapovK, Y>ot\i at Ro.ae a«<\ MiU
edgevi le, I advocated a practical sur
vey of North Georgia, as one of the
greatest necessities of your State. The
scope and nature of my work did not
adui t of speculation. I simply record
ed facts, in my brief notices of the
minerals of the South; but, unfortu
nately, I found the development ex
ceedingly few and fur between, while
the views of your people, made invest
ments of capital for practical purposes
injudicious and prevented the realiza
tion of their wealth and prosperity.
Though frequently solicited to re
peat my visit to the South, I have not
considered the times propitious, or
your people ready to appreciate the
blessings with which a kind Provi
dence has so bountifully surrounded
them. Respectfully
S. Harms Daddow.
St. Glair, Pa., November 25,1859.
MINERAL REGIONS OF GE )RGIA.
Oue of the great mo mtain and min
eral regions of the Southeast—the
highest, wildest, and most massive of
all the Appalachian ranges, and the
least known of all our mountain re
gions East of the Rocky Mountains,
is that last amphitheatre of hills, ridg
es and mountain peaks which divide
Tennessee from Georgia and the Car
olinas.
It rises, at, or near the peaks of
Otter, in Virginia, where the Blue
Ridge seems to divide, and extending
from that point in two pnrailed moun
tain ranges, it extends through South
western Virginia, through Western
North Carolina, into Georgia, uniting
again between the head waters of the
Oconee and the Cousawattee. 'I bis
great region, thus enclosed, is one vast
succession of hills, ridges aud valleys,
forming an endless maze of paralled
basins of Gneissie slates and rocks, in
which the richest cojypor vein known to
the miner, and some of the richest anti
most valuable iron ores of our Wes
tern formation, exist.
This mountain region, with its many
windings, has badly confused our Ge
ographical nomenclature, and as se
riously perplexed our topographical
and physical geologists. In this con
fusion, the most prominent lithological
feature of our Eastern geclogy is al
most lost, and the Alleglimies have
been repeatedly transfei*red from the
Devonian to the Gneissie period, over
stepping the Silurian entirely.
The Blue Ridge, proper, is the base
of the Silurian rocks, and its crest is
almost invariably capped with the hard
and massive Potsdam sandstone. This
reological formation and the Blue
•lidgeis inseparable. It always rang
es parallel with the Silurian or Great
7 illey limestones, and extends on the
. .astern edge of those ridges and mag
;iUlcent limestone valleys, so famous in
Pennsylvania, Virginia, East Tennessee
and the Coosa Valley in Georgia and
Al ibama, from New York almost to
the gulf.
The eastern range enclosing the
Mi'iuntaiu regions under discussion, is
t.ule up almost exclusively of guiessic
i; wills and exolush el v gneissie forma
tion. It is, therefore, a misnomer to
jall this the “ Blue Ridge,” and that
the Iron Mount tin, toe Stone Morm
ons, the Btld \Lm it iina, the Smoky
[>. m 1 ait is, the Souk > Mon u tain :, th t
Psr. *gMountains, &e., ae\, —That, ua lor
* Vi.iny names, is really one con tin
nous mountain chain, made up of a 1
single geologic tl formation, while this,
impropr rly termed the “Blue Ridge ’
ife made up of many mountains, ami ail
the roc ks of the azoic age. If we con
sult the local nomenclatuie of this
eastern, irrogiTar range iu North Car
olina an 1 Georgia, we will find »i hun
dred names, and as many separate and
distinct mountains, proving conclusive
ly th it it is impossible to apply the
name ‘ Pine Ridge" to 300 mountains.
It may seem unimportant by what
name we may call those m mntain
chains, but to the geologist they have
great significance. We do not seek
for coal on tire “Blue Ridge,” indeed,
we know it cannot exist there, but we
do expect to Mud coal in the Allcgha
nies, as we do in the Cumberland and
the Lookout mountains, because they
are merely the Southern continuations
of the Alleghenies.
The great regions of Brown Hema
tite, or the hydrated per oxide of iron,
is West of the Blue Ridge, in, or pa
ral el to the Silurian S ates, and lime
stones of the valley regions, while the
, e .logical place of copper, the world
over, is in tho gncssic States, under
the silurian. Tho latter is in the azo
ic, the former in the paleogoic age of
rocks. Geologically we do uat find
capper West of the Blue Ridge, and
yet. in Virginia, Ten e s c, North C: r
oliua and Georgia, the richest copper
regian, perhaps, in the world, lies West
of the mountain chains, improperly
known as the Blue Ridge. But we do
expect, as geologists, to find the Brown
Hematites, in vast abundance along
the W estern foot of the Blue Ridge
proper, and yet we liiul nothing of the
kind in North Carolina, but red oxides,
magnetics and copper ores instead.
The topographical nomenclature
ought to agree with the geological
structure, iu order that the physical
features of the country may be de
scribed and understood without confu
sion. Under present circums’ances,
with the bust maps of the mountains
in North Carolina and Georgia before
us, it is impossible to convey by de
tc iptiou a proper impression of the
geological formations in the northern
part of your State. The Blue Ridge
unites with the “East mountains” be
tween the head waters of the Ocoee and
Oostanaula , generally speaking; yet a
continuati >n of the broken ridges and
peaks of the two ranges extend into
the north, west corner of Cherokee
county. From thence the Bine Ride
appears to continue in low ridg< s, with
occasional peaks, east of the Etowah
Iron Works, and from thence into Al
abama, between the gold and copper
region on the east, and the slate quar
ries and limestone on the West.
The geological formations east of the
ridge is composed of the gneissie or
azoic strata, and on the west of the Si
lurian, or lower paleozoic. This silu
rian extends west to the base of the
Lookout mountain, where it meets the
Devonian rocks, and these are again
followed westward by the carbonife
rous strata and the coal measures,
which cap the paleozoic column iu our
eastern geological fiorruiKlwi.
Ilf I 1 utve Succeeded in making my
statements clear, it will be understood
that the region of copper, gold and
magnetic iron ores, is east of a well
defined boundary line, and that it
would be useless to look for these min
erals west of this dividing line, between
the azoic and the paleozoic rocks. This
line is always the Blue Ridge, in the
Atlantic States south of New York.
On one side of this line we find the
vast beds of magnetic iron ores, the
rich copper regions and auriferous
veins of the east, while on the other
wc find the great region of brown
hematites, extending from New Jersey
into Alabama.
The locality of the brown oxides of
iron, however, nro not strictly confined
to any particular formation. We find
them in almost every formation, from
the granite to the tertiary. But in
this country, perhaps, nine tenths of
the brown hematites, or hydrated per
oxides, arc found in the slates and
limestones of silurian or lower pale
ozoic slates. In these rocks it would,
therefore, be in vain to look for gold,
copper, magnetic iron ores, or coal,
though lead, gypsum, barytes, and
many other minerals exist besides the
ores of iron.
This lower silurian formation occu
pies a wide and rich region from the
great lakes to the gulf. In Georgia
its wealth extends from Etowah via
Rome, to Pigeon Ridge, on the east
ern eseam pinout of the Alleghanian
coal formation—terminating in the
Lookout Mountain.
THE C‘ *ALS OF < SEiTUGIA AND NORTH ALABAM A.
Mineral fuel is naturally as available
to Georgia as it is to New York. Tae
latter has no coal within her borders,
but obtains her supply, in abundance,
from Pennsylvania. The former State
has much valuable coal within her
lines, and is proximately near and
convenient to vast coal-fields in Ala
bama. Yet, her present supply of
mineral fuel is exceedingly limited,
precarious aud costly, because no ef
fort has been made toward the devel
opment of her mineral resources.
It is not important, but simply a
matter of availability, whether Geor
gia develops her own coal beds or
these of Alabama. There is a large
body of coal in the Northwestern cor
ner of Georgia, and it is possible that
this coal may be conveniently opened
by rail to the coal consumers of the
State.
The existence of valuable coal beds
east of the Lookout mountain, in the
silnrian strata of the ‘ valley,” is de
lusive. Much money and time has
been spent in seeking coal among the
black dales of the lower Devonian and
the upper Silurian in Pennsylvania
and Virginia, and perhaps in the same
geological range in Tennessee and
Georgia, but no regular coal-bed has
ever been found iti them. Even the
'‘false coal measures’, in the sub-car
bon ifer* us strata is delusive. They
sometimes promise well to the eye, but
seldom, if ever, have been found pro
ductive.
The pro bative coal-beds of north
western Georgia and Alabama are all
ireef of the eastern encampment of the
Lo »kont. They merely crop out in
thin beds towards its crest “dipping’'
westward as they increase in size and
number. In crossing this mountain
from the oast, we first find the lower
thin bed, *A, which is not often of work
able thickness on top of the mountain, 1
spreading westward with tin* nnilslime j
grit and gob-carboniferous stiata,
which dip gently iu that direction.—
W here the top of tlm mountain i< from
50 to 100 feet higher tin.a tin's out
crop of A, and west of the same, the
next bed, B, will be found, winch i.-
workabie and reliable, and the bed on
which Georgia must depend for ii r
supply of mineral fuel
It w 11, consequently, be impractica
ble to approach these coal-hois fur the
purpose of mining over the civsf ot
the Lookout, unless such approaches
or roads are carried beyond the out
crops and down the western declivities
of the mountain. First, because the
beds are too thin for productive and
| economical operations on their eastern
j margins; and second, becn ; t«;C it, it im
possible to mine coal, without machin
ery, down its 'dip.’ It is always best,
if possible, to approach and open coal
beds at their lowest accessible p >i:it,
i and from thence mine or extract the
! coal up the dip. In the first instance,
, when following the dip, the water also
follows the mires and unless pumped
‘ out, soon puts an end to Iris operations.
Iu the second case, where tiie in ner,
; work up the dip, the water drains
; away naturally and the eoui is taken
out on descending grades.
It is possible there may u gaps, or
depressions in the Lookout range,
where a railroad may cross the Look
out, and enter the coal-field, in a direct
line from Rome. In fact it, is quite
probable that such a line could be es
tablished by way of Little River, or
some of the numerous branches of tin-
Coosa, AVest of Rome. But, perhaps
t' e best approach is by way ol Gads
den, with but a limited knowledge cl
the topography of that region, but
would suggest that any raifioud line
leading from Rome into the coal de
posits, should be built, with the design
of connecting the Georgia State R >ad
more directly with the West, either to
the nearest point, on the railroad from
Chattanooga to Decatur, or via Gun
ter’s Landing, direct to Decatur. The
latter would be the most available for
the purposes desired, since it would
open iuexhaustable supplies of the best
coal in Alabama, and most direct and
easy route to the West, besides opening
a rich agricultural and mineral region
to the trade of Georgia.
I lON & COAL.
The rich and extensive iron ores of
Georgia, exist in proximity to the coals.
But little iron ore of note is likely to
exist East of Atlanta.
The magnetic ores of the mountain
region, East of the Blue Ridge, would
naturally descend the waters of the
Etowah and the Chattahoochee, and to
meet the brown hematites and the coal
at Kingston or Atlanta, or the many
manufacturing sites on the State Road
between these points. The copper ores
from that that rich and productive
copper region, on the head waters of
the Oconee and Hiwassee, in Georgia,
must go by land carriage to meet the
coal, and may be manufactured at
Kingston or Atlanta, withs much
economy ns at Oiuvejiancl.
Copper ores exist parallel v.illi the
Blue Ridge through Georgia into Ala
bama, but we have reason to doubt if
any valuable “ lode” will be found
South of the junction of the Blue liidge
with the “ East Mountains.” But the
copper and magnetic ores of the moun
tain region, before mentioned, are un
doubtedly rich, abundant and inviting.
Nothing bat plenty of good cheap coal
is wanting to build up great manufac
turing enterprises along the line of
road from Kingston to Atlanta.
In addition to the copper and mag
netic ores of this region, we find many
local deposits of red oxides and brown
ores in the copper region, and inex
haustible supplies of hematite ores
along the western base of the Blue
Ridge, from Tennessee far into Ala
bama. Thus a variety of iron ores
may be concentrated to meet the coal,
at almost any point on the State Road,
and an immense iron trade be thus
built up. We state the fact because it
is possible and practical, and to call the
attention of your people to the mineral
regions which may be made available
and profitable in a short time, and a
comparatively new expenditure.
In the event of a railroad penetrat
ing the coal regions from Rome via the
Coosa and Little River, or from some
other point below Rome, then that
vicinity would rapidly become the cen
tre of a large iron business, the found
ation for which has already been
established, though under many ditli
culties, the chief which has been, and
still is, the unreliable supply, and the
high price of coal.
In order to develop the iron ores of
this region of mineral, coal is the chief
necessity. It is true, a large and val
uable trade may be done in the manu
facture of charcoal-pig from the great
forests of primitive timbers still in
existence iu many parts of Georgia but
when this pig requires elaboration into
its more valuable and most useful
forms, mineral fuel only is avail ible.
RAILROADS THE BEST MEANS OF DEVELOF-
MENT.
While the preliminary investigations
! of the Geologist and Engineer, cannot
Ibo profitable or prudently dispensed
with, in the practical development of
| our mineral resources, they frequently
are, but railroads and canals are now
indispensible, and the first necessities
to the establishment of su •cessful man
ufacturing industry. No matter how
rich or valuable iron ores or coals may
be, we cannot transport them over mud
roads in competition, with even Ess
favored mineral regions, where rail
road transportation is made use of.
There are no natural deficiencies to
deplore in the mineral resources of
Northwestern Georgia, and no unusual
difficulties to overcome, in their devel
opment. If the people of the State are
not now supplied with an abundance
of cheap fuel, it is simply because no
elf >rt has been made to obtain it. The
coal is certainly accessible to a proper
effort.
The attention of the people of your
State has been devoted to her soil al
most exclusively, exhausting the ener
gies of both soil and pooplo without,
replenishment. No division of pur
suits ; no interchange of labor or
productions; no fostering cjitc of in
dustrial establishments; no concentra
tion of wealth, seem to obtain in the
State of Georgia any more than in her
rister States. The muscles of her sons
ad the Mine of her soils go with her
cotton to enrich others, while we are
impoverishing our own. No eoaimnuif y
or people can long support themselves
on any sing!; produc, of the soil; for if
it is at firs: profitably the iodtoement
to couipetion is great and the price i.-,
soon reduced b-low a profitable stand
ard; and if below a remunerative price,
then no v( turn can be made to the soil,
aid tv t. its impoverishment • comes
naturally the impoverishment of the
planter. Thire is no escape from thLr
dilemma. Those communities which
are most prosperous are those iu which
the productions of laboi are the most
diversified, in metals, minerals and ag
ricultural products ; while the first
continually declines the latter contin
ually increases in wealth and prosperi
ty. Contrasting Pennsylvania with
your State, we find the comparison ve
ry unfavorable to the latter. While
oUT agricultural productions are worth,
per capita, double the v;.l <e of Georgian
products, and independent of a widely
diversified industry in the mantis cture
of a thousand useful and profitable ar
ticles, our miw ralproductions are worth
neirly-as much as the entire cotton
crop of the South!
The danger now is, while the price
of cotton rules high, that the “Cotton
Si alts" will relapse into the old delu
sion, and put their trust iu a simple
staple article, which the sad experiences
of the war proved so entirely fdacious,
and even ruinous.
But (Jo gii has experienced much
benefit from her railroad enterprises,
and her manufacturing industry, and
is not so likely to forget the lessons of
the past. She is, proverbially, one of the
most enterprising and liberal of the
Southern States, and now stands fore
most in the effort to secure that per
manent and practical advancement
which is so prominently illustrated in
the progress aud prosperity of the mid
tile and central States (Western?) She
was the first of tho Southern Atlantic
States to extend her railroad lines to
our Western waters, and consequently
the first to profit by a share of the vast
trade of the great Mississippi Valley,
and the central States —a trade which
has donmso much to build up New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and
which Virginia so long, and yet so in
effectually assayed. To Virginian and
Georgian effort, this trade, or a great
portion of it, naturally belongs, and a
proper effort would long ago have giv
en Virginia the command of that
stream of wealth, which now flows up
hill to the North. But, though Geor
gia has tapped aud profited by this
trade, her communications, or connec
tions, are so indirect that much of her
advantage is lost. Her grades are fa
vorable, but her route, not the best
that is offered. For the trade of East
Tennessee, her road from Atlanta to
Dalton is both valuable and direct, but
for the still more valvable and desira
ble trade of the Mississippi and the far
Pacific, a more diect hue is not only
necessary, but absolutely indispensa
ble. -j
In order to op m the find iron
deposits in Nort t aud Alii
baina, and develop the mineral and
industrial resources of your Suite, \ve
have proposed a railroad from Rome
into the coal regions. Tins road would
be of groat value for Urn nnrppapqwo
posed, and would also furnish a line
to connect Savannah and Atlanta with
Memphis and eventually San Francis
co, as the most direct aud practical
line offered.
We notice that much prominence is
given to the “Southern Pacific Rail
road,” projected from Vicksburg via
Shreveport, though Texas, New Mexi
co anu Arizona to Arizona city, on the
Colorada river, San Diago aud San
Francisco. This route is conspicuous
ly marked by Professor M. E. Maury,
in his late report on the Physical sur
vey of Virginia, while the middle route,
the only practical one for Virginia or
Georgia, is entirely ignored. Aside
from the financial difficulties, which
are, at present, and in the near future,
a bar to this Southern line, its route
is through a region destitute of both coal
and timber, and which presents no pe
culiar inducements in mineral or soil
for early settlement by an industrious
people, while there is but little influ
ence or wealth interested iu its early
constitution, and still less inducement
as far as profits are concerned for the
investment of capital, particularly now,
that one route is already in existence
and the others not only projected, but
in course of construction to the Paci
fic.
The middle route, having its eastern
termini or base, at Memphisand St.
Louis, is the only practical one for the
Southern Atlantic States. There is a
direct line from Norfolk, via Chatta
nooga and Memphis to Little Rock on
the Arkansas, and another in course
of construction from Richmond via the
Great Kanawlea and St. Louis, or
Memphis, to connect Virgina with this
middle route, while Gcoagia has now
railroad communication with Memphis
and Little Rock, and may profit at an
early day, by a connection with this
middle route to the Pacific.
Much influence and wealth centres
on this route. The Great and wealthy
rail corporations of both Pennsylvania
and Maryland, are interested in this
line, and are making practical efforts
t' > wards its completion, while many of
the leading railroad companies of Ohio,
Indianna, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illi
nois.and Missouri, arc actively interest
ed, and Memphis, St. Louis, Chicago
and Leavenworth, are now buiding
their branch lines in connection with
the Middle Pacific Route. It traver
ses a rich and delightful country, well
supplied with Mineral coal, and enters
the mountain, nettalefavvs region,
South of the Snow Line, and at much
less elevation than the Northern
route.
\\ a have thus, hastily and impel’-
! fectly expensed our views, on several of
J the loading points in connection with
the development of the mineral resour-
Lees of Noitli Georgia.
First showing the want of classifica
tion in both the Geologv
and Topography of that p >rtion of the
South as at present unde’stood, and
thus giving my views as to the best
means of remedy, and the most availa
Wo Plan of developing its resources.
