ARSENIC MINE IN
 THE APPALACHIANS

The only mine in the eastern Unit ed States which has, so far as known,
 mined arsenic ore, and produced white arsenic from it is located on the south slope of Lick Ridge, one of the minor elevations of the Appa- lachian Mountains, at Brlnton, Va. and is described by Frank L. Hess, of in an advance chapter on Rare Met als" from Bulleton 470, "Contribu- tions to Economic Geology, 1910. part
 The arsenic deposits were found by C.. R. Brinton in 1901, and work on the mine and on the erection of a plant for making white arsenic was begun in March, 1902. The brick necessary for the building of the plant-more than 50.000-were made and burned and the lumber re- quired was cut and sawed on the place. The mine is equipped with a steam hoist, steam pump, electric lights, and air drills. The making of white arsenic began in January, 1903. In 1910 company was or ganized to manufacture Paris green and other insecticides for which are was to be used, and a plant was es- tablished at Norfolk, Va, but was not yet in operation at the time of MT. Hess's visit.

Scenically the country is beautiful, and owing to it's altitude it is cooler in the sum- mer than lower-lying lands, and sev- eral summer resorts are located with in a few miles of the mine
 "The country is we'll wooded and fields left uncultivated are soon over grown with trees. Wood for fuel and mine timber is therefore plentiful and comparatively cheap. Owing to the roughness of the country the tillable fields are small and difficult to cu.ti- vate The soil is poor and good crops can be raised only with the help of fertilizers.
