MM'S IWEL - - -» Enough for All Pur poses Says DR. GEORGE LITTLE, Former State Geologist of Georgia. THE STRANGE FORMATION THAT KXfdTS IN THIS IMMK* DIAXIi SUCTION. Reports From Prof. Jnmen HaH, of New York and Charles H. Hitchcock of Now Hanip •klre-Tbe Fire CMaj. Hearing that Dr. George Little, at one time State Geologist, and by the way, who haa the only correct map of Dade eoonty, was in town, a Time representative called on him for a etatement of the water resource!, ebe., of Trenton. He said: “Near White Oak Gap can be found a fine Bpring of clear free stone water. Near Morrison, three jmilee north of town, there are two epringe aa large as' a buehel meas ure. And all along the yalley as you go either way can be found good substantial farm houses, and near by good aprings with fine fpriog housea where the farmer’s wif* keep* her butter cold and firm during the cummer months. ‘‘All along on Lookout creek there are mills that hare been in .operation for twenty years, and Curaton’a mill is only a half mile distant from town, and Sitton's jk mile. On the hill near Sitton’s mill there is a good vein of iron ore. All along Lookout creek at intervale, largo limestone springs an be found,* Along the moun tain, at intervals, you will find clear freestone iprings, running cut from under the sand stones that form the large cliffs that are seen from the railroad. , “At Trenton, up on top of the * mountain, there is a large, bold stream that comes out of the mountain, and goes down into a sink a short distance and disap pears, and comes out again in the valley, The flow is about six inches in diameter, and by the use of pipe oan be easily run to the town. The force will throw the water over any six-story building without the aid of engines. ‘•Town creek rises only a mile and a half from town. It comes eat from under ft heavy limestone cliff and affords enough water to ran a mill. The tanner’s of the sown ara furnished water by this Stream, and it is large enough for » almost any purpose, “The geological structure of the eounty is peculiar. In the short distance of three miles you pass over eight different geological for mations, and this of oourse gives us the different kinds of uufferal waters. “Tb« chalybeate spring* of frequent occurrence, and the sul phur spring has long been known and has made Trenton a fine repu tation as a health resort, This spring is in the eorporate limits and only about 800 yards from the depot, and only across the 'ence from the Dado Normal Institute building, “The .white sulphur spring, where a fine hotefl has hetn built, and has for years been a re #ort for people trow New -. Orleans, Meridian,Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Chattanooga and oth<^'Southern •ities. ‘ FIRE.CLAY. “Near this spring is found the famous clay, which Montague has for years supplied bis fire brick and newer pipe work, aiid which fcas made hi.pi independently rich A large bed of which lies at tho foundation of the success of Fort! Payne, Ala., where $40,000 is said to have been expended or. works for the purpose of utilizing ii. “The swmniflr resorts on top of Lookout mountain are famous, and are extending gradually down to Rising Fawn. As to the health fulness and delightfulness ot Look out mountain, D. P. Hunt, of Cin cinnati, 0., said to a. Chattanooga Evening News reported last Mon day: ‘Never in my life have I spent a more delightful summer, and it brings to me a feeling of Badness when 1 contemplate my |depart”re, which must, be sooner lor later. I have been on the go, 1 traveling continually for the past ten years, and I sav with emphasis and perfect candor that 1 have never seen such a delightful and health giving climate than on Lookout mountain.’ “It must be remembered that Trenton is only about fourteen miles South of this point, and its climate is its equal.’’ report from pr-if, hall, of new YORK. “The following is a report made by Prof. James Hail in 18S2, and who has been State Geologist of the State of New York for the past fifty years on the Empire State 1 ron Coal company, which is only two miles South of Trenton, which un fortunately fell into the hands of English hjirs and cannot now be secured, says: “‘lt would be superfluous to sav ** I anything further on the advan- ' tages of your position. They can-, not be overstated. i have never j seen in such close proximitv and | abundance thegpoal and iron ore in ! anv rej ion of the country.’ ” REPORT OF PROF, CHAS. H HITCH COCK, OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. “Now here is a report by Prof. Chas. H. Hitcheock, State Geolo gist of New Hampshire, who late ly examined the coal and iron of Morrison, three miles North of Trenton. Ho says: “ ‘Plenty of coal suitable for use in smelting the iron can be made available within the distance of two or three imles from the iron outcrop. Without further details it is very clear that these lands, especially at their present low valuation can be highly recommended for profit able investment. AN EXPERT’S OPINION. From the ChaOsnuoga Evening News, « Trenton, Ga., Of. 8 —Knowing that the opinion of an expert is won h more than that of hundreds of other men, the News reporter sought an interview’ with an eminent geologist: “Dr. Little, I am informed that you have served os State geologist of Georgia, Is my information correct?” » I have served in that capacity seven years in this State,” “Then you ought to know whether coal and iron exist in Trenton. VYM you care to inform the publii?” “I have no objection whatever. The public have a right to know,and they should be correctly informed And the same public have a right to requite correct information as to the extent of the natural resources of Trenton, and knowing th-it they wi 1 better know whether to make in vestments. “I have a map of all the coal and iron along Lookout, Wi U and Junes valleys from Wauhatchie t » Birmingham arid beyond, I know the thick mm and location of the vein* tt every p iut of importance. 1 also know the location of everyone! aieie vre yet developed, and the means nf icceas to this valley through the ihOunUin. At thia place th« hills on each aide of the Alabama Southern railroad bears a vein of iron that will average four feet in thickness, that <l:p und» r the hills along the foot of the mountain ranges. This iron passes entirely * through them ami through the mountains and cpmts >ut on the other Ritle. -Thbfrll -outh of Morrison switch are within one mile of the mijioad oy each side.

At Birmingh in they have better natural openings tor railroads, so that it has a b tter distributing point. With a ! railroad to the river that advantage would be overcome. “But as a site ior a city Trenton is vastly superior. Bir mingham lacks drainage* Trenton has it. Trenton has abund ance of water for furnaces and all kinds of manufacturing e - tahlishments. It has the advantage in the matter of pure ami wholesome water, and there is no reason why Tientou may not become as prosperous as Birmingham, when it has us many ( ytlets to market.” « TO ATA' ERTISERS.
