MINUfiCTURINO SITES.
For location of furnaceß or other
manufacturing enterprises, Tren
ton shpws eupreior advantage!.
The valley to the North is di
vided by two msip ridges running
parallel to aud southwardly with
the Alabama Great Southern Rail
road. The ridge on the East of
the railroad ceases within two
mile* of Trentou, and the country
ia comparatively level and un
broken from the railroad to Look
•
out creek, which at this point ie
only one-half mile distant from
the railroad. All other pointß on
the railroad to the North of Tren
tou being from one to two miles
distant, with high intervening
judges only broken by narrow pla
ces where small creeks running
eastward have broken through to
Lookout creek the principal stream
of the valley.
The belt of country, one and one
half miles in extent, lying imme
diately to the North of Trenton,
fnrnishes natural sites for furnaoes
and all manufacturing enterprises,
being easily accessible to the rail
road on a fine stream of water, and
owing to the level nature of the
land, requiring little or no grad
ing for spur tracks from the Alar
bama Great Southern railroad to
the creek frontage.
In no other portion of this val
ley, and it may be said in the en
tire South, has nature contributed
so many advantages for iron mak
ing as at this little town of Tren
ton ; and it is easy to understand
why this place was selected for a
town site by far-seeing and shrewd
capitalists. With nearly three
miles of creek frontage and the
great inducement of cheap coal,
iron and other raw materials, the
question is easily answered why
this Trenton village is attracting
so much attention and capital.
The quiet of this corner of the
grand old State of Geogia is for
ever broken.
COAL.
The main reliance for coal is in
the Sand mountain, where numer
ous veins of a good coking quality
exist. The only break in Lookout
mpqntain exists here. It is known
as Sitton’s Gulf. Gulf creek has
cut a channel, or narrow canyon,
which runs nearly due north, cat
ting the mountain at an acute
angle, forming a natural passage
for a railroad to Round mountain,
three miles distant. This moun
tain is full of an excellent article
of coking and grate coal. A rail
road could be built from Trenton
along this creek to Round moun
tain, and as coal measures cropoue
on each 6ide of the gulch, the
means of opening coal mines
would be afforded on both sides
the entire length of the ereek
The mouth of the gulch is but a
*hort distance from the court
houes.

DADE COUNTY
Is the richest mineral county in the “Em*
pire State of the South.”
Every man, woman and child in the county
should read
“THE TIMES. ”
Dr. Little, "former State Geologist ofTe*rgia and Al*-
Varna, in an interview about Trenton’s superior advantages for
making iron, between Birmingham and Trenton, says; “Thcie
is but one in favor of Birmingham It has the advantage in
the thickness of its iron veins They are two feet thicker
than at Trenton, but they are fi.\e miles away, as is their coal,
while at Trenton they are within one and two miles respect
ively. At Birmingh in they have better natural openings for
railroads, so that it has a b tter distributing point. With a
railroad to the river that sdvantagc would be overcome.
*‘But as a site tor a city Trenton is vastly superior. Bir
mingham lacks drainage* Trenton has it. Trenton has abund
ance ot w ater for furnaces aud all kinds of nmimfncturii g e -
tablishments. It has the advantage in the matter of pure an<l
wholesome water, and there is no rea>on why Trentou may
not become as prosperous as Birmingham, when it has *s
many outlets to market.”
