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.
