Stall- Geologist Makes Report on Bauxite Deposite Near
Andersonville— Deposits Should Prove or Consid
erable Commercial Importance
That 'he deposits of a mineral sub
known as bauxite, made recent
,he Easterlin properties near
iv on tne
Andersonville, will prove of value to
,; Be owners of the land where these
deposits are found is indicated in a
, el)t report made by the state geol
ogist, S. W. McCallie.
1 will be recalled that the discov
rv of bauxite ore, which was, how
* a>r Ilot definitely identified as sucti
i n ',il after a geological analysis of a
specimen had been made, aroused
inucb interest here. The detailed re
or, which has just been made pub
)j(, more specific information
concerning the deposits, also with ref
erence to their location.
Prof S. W. McCallie, state geologist,
in his quarterly report to the advisory
hoard, which met in the governors
effice on Wednesday morning, May 12,
made the following statement in re
gard to newly discovered minerals:
Since the last meeting of the advis
ory board of the geological survey,

(prove of considerable commercial im
portance.
This is especially true of the newly
discovered bauxite deposits occurring
in the northwestern part of Sumter
county. The of these de
posits, as far as my own personal ob
servation extends, are confined to the
Easterlin and Holt properties, located
south of Sweetwater creek, between
Andersonville and the Flint river. The
bauxite occurs in what appears to be
well defined beds two feet or more
in thickness, underlain by a white
or grayish clay, which seems to grade
into the bauxite above. In physical
appearance, the bauxite resembles ver\
dosely the bauxite from Wilkinson
county, having the usual pisolitic
or pea structure. The individual pis
olites or concretions vary from a
fraction to an inch or more in diam
eter and often make up fully 75 per
cent, of the entire mass.
Chemical analysis of one of the
specimens from the Easterlin proper
ty gives 58.57 per cent alumina
(A-1203) and only 6.46 per cent silica
(S-102), with less than 2 per cent iron
oxide (Fe2o3). This show's the ma-
J terial to be high grade, and it should
command a good price, say $5.00 or
more per ton on board cars. As but
little prospecting has been so far done
j it is practically impossible to foretell
anything definitely as to the actual
extent of the deposit; however, the in
dications are that on the farms above
mentioned there is probably thousands
of tons of high grade ore which can
be mined and put on hoard cars at
a comparatively small, cost. Some
idea may be had of the value of baux
ite deposits when it is stated that an
acre of high grade bauxite three feet
thick has a money value, when pre
pared for market, of approximate’ v
; $40,000. Under favorable conditions,
I the cost of mining, etc., probably
i w'ould not exceed $3.00 per ton, which
w'ould leave a net profit of more than
$15,000 per acre. This calculation is
based upon three-foot beds, but it is
possible that in some places the Sum
ter county bauxite beds will be found
to attain a greater thickness, in which
case the value of bauxite per acre
will be correspondingly increased. This
j estimate will suffice to give some gen
! eral idea of the importance of the
Sumter county bauxite discovery, and
j I trust it will, at the same time, be a
| fair warning to the farmers in the
northern part of that county that there
1 is a likelihood of their lands becom
!mg much enhanced in value by rea
i son of the possible occurrence of
i commercial bauxite deposits.
The safest plan, probably, for the
j land owners to pursue in this case
| would be neither to sell nor give any
options on their lands at present, but
| to enter into an agreement with the
would-be buyers upon a royalty basis;
that is, charge so much per ton for
every ton of bauxite mined, the roy
j alty being governed, of course, by the
j grade of the ore and the cost of min
j ing.
The geological horizon at which the
Sumter county bauxite occurs seems
to be the upper beds of the Midway
series, an entirely different horizon
irom the Wilkinson county bauxites.
This w'ould indicate that there is / a
possibility of bauxite occurring at any
point where this formation is exposed
at the surface, namely, the northern
part of Sumter county; the northern
J and central parts of Webster county;
I the southern parts of Macon, Stewart
I and Schley counties; the northwestern
| parts of Randolph and Clay counties;
' and the central and southern parts of
S Quitman county. It is not at all like
| !y that workable deposits of bauxite
will be found over the large area
here outlined; nevertheless, it is not
hv any means improbable that worka
ble deposits may be found in some
limited areas where the conditions
have been favorable for their forma-
