Two of our State officers were here
last week on business, Mr.. J. W.
Marstellcr, Secretary OF the bureau of
Mines and Mine Inspection, and Mr..
Geo. Williams, Inspector of Clays,
Lead and Zinc. They thoroughly
inspected the workings OF the
Ouachita' Pottery Co., northwest Of
Versailles. Mr.. Marsteller was COM
pllmentary in his observations on the
Company's manner Of shafting and
tunnclling, approved of all precautions
taken to insure safety, as well as the
pure air for workmcn under ground.
But the real surprise was for Mr..
Williams. When shown the different
ciays he was dumbiounded, did not
know Morgan Co. had such valuable
resources. He requested that
sample of the clays be forwarded to
his office, which has been done.
Mr.. Bradford and his assistant, Mr..
Dressie, showed the gentlemen
around and entertained them royalty
while guests of the Ouachita Com
pany. Mr.. Marstellcr and Mr..
Williams predict bright future for
Morgan Co., and for the Ouachita
Company especially.
