Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1857-04-17


Rsg= Ii lis generally known that Tennessee is one
of the most favored States Of the Union in regard to
mineral wealth Our mountains abound in coal, irOn
copper zinc etc. and our rich low lands are able to
suppc TT the numerous working population required
to deveope our mineral treasures. The energy with
which our railroads pushed viii make out Of this
State the central depot between the North and the
South, the East and the West and open to our pro-
ducers an the markets of the Union. Numerous COM
panies are constituted or in promotion for mining
and manufacturing. They have energy and capital
and will very soon surmount the difficulties arising
from the not yet perfect means Of transportation
The State survey though very nsuthcently furnished
with monetary means has already thrown great light
q the mining operations, and beyond a doubt more
liberal disposition will enable Mr. Stafford to make
for this State as creditabe work any one Of the
celebrated geological surveys of the North.
One thing only is yet wanted to insure the success
Of our mining and manufacturing enterprises II Is
the facility for working companies Of consulting
practical scientific men, We have plenty Of good
chemists and engineers in Tennessee, but they are
engaged in permanent pursuits, and enterprises not
rich or important enough to afford permanent en-
rlovment TO such men, are deprived Of their ad-
vice and exposed to ruinous mistakes in the organ
ization Of their operations. 1t the most difficult
thing to find q man able to make geological maps, to
locate roads railroads inclines to erect coal cribs
fire proof brick works, etc, without giving per-
manent employment. If an analysis Of ore was
wanted the want eff chemist attending to this busi-
ness Obliged the parties to send to New York or Phil
aielphia involving considerable delay and expense.
Besides owners Of mineral lands were frequently at
loss to know how to bring their produce in market
how to organize companies, or how to lease their
estates ,
TThis want Of the community has been supplied,
and it is with great interest that hear that Dr.
A f AxsuAN, Professor of Agricultural and Analyt-
zeal Chemistry in the Nashville University, and NJ
F. G. CuARANSEs a civil and mining engineer, have
opened a consulting Office for mining and manutac-
turing companies and others interested in mineral
Bpeculations
These gentlemen are practical men, Of sound, sci
entfc information An their analyses and works will
be made in conformity with the last improvements
and discoveries and such as have been justified by
practical success We have no doubt that their en-
deayors viii receive the encouragement and patron
age, which such enterprise, useful to the pr
vate and general interest of the community deserves
