The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1889-06-12
LUM BER.

Our great mountains furnish large
quantities of chestnut, oak, pine,
popular. walnut and other kinds Of
timber. Gold and silver are found
in small quantities, and many
believe profitable veins of them will
be discovered.
MARBLE ETC.
Marble is found almost every
where. At Louisville. seven miles
from Maryville, on the Tennessee
river in perpendicular walls 200 feet
high is the Cliff Quarry having 20 or
30 varieties of marble and is worked
by the celebrated firm of N. H.
Evans 4 Son, of Baltimore, Md.
There is enough marble there for
other firms. and it is hoped the
whole vast beds will be put into the
market.
Iron ore is abundant and Of good
quality.
SUMNER RESORTS.
This county has long been celebra-
ted for Summer Resorts. There
are four of them and all, are on the
West side ofthe Chilhowee Noun
tains. Chalybeate and Sulphur
waters are abundant. Montvale,
called the Saratoga of the South"
nine miles from Maryville, is the
oldest Of these resorts and has mad
several hundred visitors annually.
Many now seek its shady retreat
and drink its medicinal waters and
have years added to their earthly
pilgramage. Further down the
mountain range is the Allegheny
Springs, built by N. Mccoy. of
Indiana, at an expense Of $4,000.
The hotel is new, nicely furnished
and attractive. This resort is Is
miles from Maryville. Nine miles
from town, nestled among the forest
trees is Melrose, and its sweet name
will not disappoint the guests who
eat from Mrs. Miller's table. Last
and higher on the mountain side
than all others is Mt. Nebo, and it
is hard to believe that the grand
heroic leader of old Iseral beheld
from his Nebo a more magnificent
landscape or inhaled a more refresh
ing atmosphere than do the guests
at the Nebo of Blount CountycsEap.
nessee, A. A. Wilson proprietor:
Here at these resorts chalybeate
waters flow and many leave them
every year invigorated. All who
come to these fountains of repose
are not annoyed by the omnipresent
musquito. In vain will you listen
to hear his buzz, nor will he pune
ture the most delicate little hand.
