new COMPANY FOR THE BASIN.
The Chattanooga Construction 60. Has
Been Organized With Capital
of 100000

From the Manufacturers Record we learn
that the Chattanooga Construction Go. has
been chartered, with capital OF S5OO,OOo,
to develope copper mines in the Duckto~n
Basin.
Several months ago, drillers were put to
work on the property in question: but
nothing could be slearned of their IN
tentions, nor would anything be given out
as to what was being found.
About three weeks ago we learned that
good ore had been found and that some OF
# was near the surface, but further than
That our informant would not go.
The formation of this Company confirms
this information and there is every reason
TO believe that active work will be COM
menced in a short time.
This means much to Ducktown and, IN
fact, the whole basin, for it means the
establishment of another concern that
will employ large force of men and these
must be housed and fed.
We welcome this addition to the already
vast interests located in the DucktoWn
Basin and earnestly hope that its every ex-
notation will be met-and more.
