MAY PROVE VERY VALUABLE.
Iron Ore in State Attracting Great Zeal
of Attention.

Jackson.-Recent investigation OF the
iron Ore deposits in the southeastern
part Of the state, especially near Eh.ar-
prise, reveal what are thought to be very
rich and valuable fields OF ore. It is
said by DR.. f.. n. Lowe, state geologist,
that there is apparently an unlimited
supply OF ferris carbonate in that sec
tion.
The carbonate is entirely different from
that in the northern part Of the state,
which is said to be superior in quality
to any that is now being mined. The
deposits near Enterprise are red and
soft, while that in North Mississippi,
especially east of Holly Springs, is white
and very hard. 1t is claimed that the
ore in the southern part of the state will
yield one ton Of pig iron from three tom
of ore.
