Prof S. W. McCallie, state geologist,
in his quarterly report to the advisory

made the following statement in re-
card to newly discovered minerals:
Since the last meeting of the advis-.

terial to be high grade, and it Should
/ command a good price, say $500 OF
more per ton on board cars. AS but
little prospecting has been so far done
| it is practically impossible to foretell
anything definitely as to the actual
extent of the deposit; however, the in
dicatiOns are that on the farms above
, mentioned there is probably thousands
of tons of high grade ore which can
be mined and put on board cars at
comparatively small. cost. Some
idea may be had of the value of baux-
, lite deposits when it is stated that an
acre of high grade bauxite three feet
thick has a money value, when pre-
pared for market, of approximate y
$4,000. Under favorable conditions,
the cost of mining, etc., probably
would not exceed $500 per ton, which
would leave net profit of more than
$4,000 per acre. This calculation is
based upon three-foot beds, but it is
possible that in some places the Sum-
ter county bauXite beds will be found
to attain a greater thickness, in which
case the value of bauxite per acre
will be CORRESPONDENCE increased. This
estimate will suffice to give some gen.
eral idea of the Importance of the
Sumter county bauXite discovery, and
| trust it will, at the same time, be
fair warning to the farmers in the
northern part of that county that there
is a likelihood of their lands becom-
ing much enhanced in value by rea-
son of the possible occurrence of
commercial bauxite deposits.
The safest plan, probably, for the
land owners to pursue in this case
would be neither to sell nor give any
options on their lands at present, but
to enter into an agreement with the
Would-be buyers upon a royalty basis;
that is, charge so much per ton for
every ton of bauxite mined the roy
atty being governed, of course, by the
grade of the ore and the cost of min
ing.
The geological horizon at which the
Sumter county bauXite occurs seems
to be the upper beds of the Midway
series, an entirely different horizon
from the Wilkinson county bauxites.
This would indicate that there is I a
possibility of bauXite occurring at any
point where this formation is exposed
at the surface, namely, the northern
part of Sumter county; the northern
and central parts of Webster county;
the southern parts of Macon, Stewart
and Schley counties; the northwestern
parts of Randolph and Clay counties;
and the central and southern parts of
Quitman county. 1t is not at all like
ly that workable deposits of bauxite
will be found over the large area
here outlined; nevertheless, it is not
by any means improbable that worka-
BILE deposits may be found in some
limited areas where the conditions
have been favorable for their forma>
ton.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-06-14

prove of considerable commercial i'm
portance.
This is especially true of the newly
discovered bauXite deposits occurring
in the northwestern part of Sumter
county. The limitations of these de-
poslts, as far as my own personal OBJ
servation extends, are confined to the
Easterlin and Holt properties, located
south OF Sweetwater creek, between
unreasonable and the Flint river. The
oauxlte occurs in what appears to be
We'll defined beds two feet or more
IN thickness, underlain by a white
or grayish clay, which seems to grade
into the bauxite above. In physica,
appearance, the bauxite resembles very
closely the bauxite from Wilkinson
county, having the usual pisolitic
or pea structure. The individual pis,
olites or connections vary from a
traction to an inch or more in diam
eter and often make up fully IS per
cent. of the entire mass.
Chemical analysis of one of the
specimens from the Easterlin proper
ty gives 1857 per cent alumina
(A-12O3) and only 6.46 per cent silica
(S-lO2), with less than 2 per cent iron
oxide (Fe203). This shows the ma

The court interpreter, Alfred Sacco'
rose for Caruso and said:
"Mr. Caruso desires me to say that
he wants to thank you all and now
that he is a free man says that ne
was innocent Of the crime.
EttOr, leader OF the strike at Law

workers of the World. and others with
conspiracy to incite riot in the Lawrence
textile strike.

OLD FERTILIZER TAGS
GO UP IN SMOKE

Two million fertilizer tags, which cost
the state of Georgia SO cents a thou
sand, or 800 in all, and which, IL re-
tailed out to the fertilizer companies at
the usual rate of $3.50 per thousand,
would have brought into the state treas
ury $4,000, were burned Tuesday morn
ing by John T. Harrison. shipping clerk,
for the department of agriculture,
These tags were unused portions OF
old issues, which have ben aecumulat-
ing in the department basement for
six years. 1t became necessary few
DAYS ago to make room in the base
ment for two new laboratories which
are to be added to the chemical de-
partment. The tags had to be removed
and Mr.. Harrison, who is a loyal Demo-
crat conceived the idea Of getting rid
of the old tags and celebrating the
Democratic victory at one and the same
time. The celebration was little de-
layed, but 1t was a. fiery one, for Mr..
Harrison built huge bonfire on the
big court at the southern entrance OF
the capitol, which he fed with the fer
tilizer tags.
After the flames died away couple
oPdwagonloads of wire staples, each
tag having had one staple, were earted
away.
