and surrounded by immense deposits OF Hem
attic and other iron ores. Barlow county has
the largest body Of manganese IN the world
without eXception) from which steel
can be made without association
with other ores. This manganese Is
being sought after by Andrew Carnegie
and other steel makers, to whom
large quantities are continually being snip
ned. Five hundred thousand dollars have
been invested at Gainesville in mining and
refining these ores. The Cartersyillo Land

which will give employment to many
hands and an impetus 10 an industry des-
fined TO make Cartersyille the second city
