these mines are both named Thos. Thorn
as, although not in the least related to
each other.
As to territory for opening new mines
there is an abundance still unoccupied,
which can be leased by capitalists at rea-
sonable rates. The firm of McEwen Wiley
d Buckley possesses a tract of about 40 900
acres, extending from the Emory Iron
Works property in Roane county, to Carey
vile in Campbell county, through a part
offour counties. This entire tract Is COM
posed principally of coal land, and conse-
quently there is an abundance of room for
Northern enterprise and capital to come
among us and take advantage of our min
eral wealth. If men of capital will but
take cool and calculating view of the in
ducements offered there to enterprise and
capital, we feel confident that in short
time, instead of half dozen or so of
mines around Coal Creek, there wonld be
scores of them all along that rich coal vein
which extends many miles.
CAREYvILLE.
As before stated this tract of mineral
land, owned by Mc'Ewen, Wiley d Bulk
ley extends to Careyville, Campbell county,
on which two mines have been: opened,
one by Kennedy IL Morrow, which has
nine rooms and three entrances. Their ca
pacity at present, provided transportation
can be obtained, is about so tons per day.
The other is. leased by the East Tennes-
see Coal Company. This is new Com
pany and works only about eight miners
in six rooms. Their capacity is IS tons
per day.
THE CAREYVILLE PLANTATION
is not included in the tract before men
| TONED, and contains about 300 acres and
is owned by the Careyville Coal Company.
One mine has been opened by them which
is hard to surpass. The vein is about AZ
feet thick, of a very superior quality of
coal. They work II miners, and can turn
out about 20 tons Of coal per day. Besides
| the coal measures, there is an abundance
of iron ore on this plantation. The most
abundant is the red fossilerous ore, of
which the veins are from J to II feet in
diameter, extending diagonally across the
entire property, about ! mile. Large de-
posits of the brown hematite are found
on the same property just above the GOA
| measures. There is also on this property G
| good site for blast furnace, with the
| iron ore and coal as convenient as can be
found for any furnace. Two fine mineral
springs-one sulphur and one chalybiate-
are on this plantation and convenient tC
the site for furnace. A rare chance is here
offered to any company with capital as we
understand the property is on the market
In fact the entire section is rich in minera
and the Knoxville and Ohio railroad IL
graded for 10 miles beyond Careyville
through solid beds of coal and iron, and al
that is needed is for Northern capital {,
come and help us develop our natural re
sources.
