AN EXPEET’S OPINION.

Txknton, Oct. B—Knowing
that the opimon of an expert is worth
more than that of hundreds of other
moo, the New* reporter sought an
interview with an eminent geologists
“Dr. Little, ] am informed that
yoUt tsave served os titate geolog'is t of
(Jeivrgia. In oaj iufiwuiation correct?”
‘ I have served in that capacity
' <evi»n years fn thin State,”
[ “Then vow oaght to kpow whether
coni aud iron exist iu Trenton. Wilt
you care to inform the publi- ?*’
“J hav* so ottjjeclfen whatever,
.’he public-have a right to know,and
.<hey should be correctly informed.
And the aame public have a right t<»
require correct information a* to the
ex'eut of tha natural resoim-as of
Trenton, and knowing th.u th«y wi'l
tretter know whether to make In
veatmenta.
“I have a map of all the coal
arid iron along Lookout, W> 1* and
Jones valleys from WauhldcM© to
Birmingham and beyond. I know
the thickness and location of the veiaa
a
»t every point of importance. 1 also
know ti>e location of every cos! me*--

neecss to this valley through the
o (Bintain. At this plsce the hills on

ratlrnsd hears a vein of iron th*t will

'through the mountains aud comes

Hay hHve been worked at some

Morrison mined about fifty feet off
the watt side of the vein at that plsce
for the distance of a mile. They
e-'Uidgo on to the creek and tneo
through the mountain. The vein is
from four to flv* feet thick. It will
average four feet. Both ridge* at
Trentoo bear this ore.
“Two mile* west of the town there
