TELLS OF VALUBLE MINERAL
DEPOSITS HERE
In an address to citizens at the
Court House here Tuesday Mr
Dandridge Spotswood geologist of
Petersburg Va, announced the
discovery of valuable mineral
deposits near Perry, and told
of the really wonderful possibilities
that are to be realized with
the development of the natural
resources of this immediate section
Mr Spotsworth, during the past
few weeks has made a survey of a
large aera of the Ross Hill section
four miles south of here and re
ported the existance of limestone
and fullers earth in almost in-
exautable quantities, suitable for
manufacture of the highest grade
of cement. He announced also the
discovery of Lignite (coal _ in
formation) which he believes exists
in great quanties in this section.
This substance is very valuable as
a fuel and the byproduct are used
in the manufacture of glass,
automobile tires and other pro
ducts-
The presence of the limestones,
fullers earth and sands suitable
for the manufacture of glass,
augmented by lignite as a cheap
fuel right at our very doors is a
combination that is sure to at»
tract great manufacturin enter
prises hero that will mean much
to,this section when this presence
becomes known to manufactures
who are looking for just such
opportunities he says.
The address of Mr Spotswood
was interesting and instructive
going into many phases of the
lhanufacture of cement and glass
as well as giving a description of
the geology r of this section-
Another announcement he made
regarded the strong possibility of
gas and oil here. This was evidenc
ed ho said by the “up lift” con
dition at Ross Hill being (over 100
feet higher than Macon) showing
gasseous pressure, and the bowed
over condition of limestone and
rock strata. Oil he thought
probable would be found on the
ridge and. the territory contenget
to it,
Surveys made near here in
clude the territory embreed by
the farms of J W Uhels, N W H
Gilbert, J W Bloodworth, Hodge
<& W imberly and J R Pickard.
Other examination will probably
be made during the geologist visit
here.
It has long been believed that
the territory covered the geologist
report contained numerals that
were of commercial value and
now their nature value are more
definately known every oitizen
should be vitally interested in
making the possibilties of this
territory a reality.
