they would never again be OF any
value.
The old company sold the timber
land, but Colonel Jones and his
associate, Mr.. |. l.. Council, kept
these great mines rather than sell
them and they own them today.
These experts reports show them
to carry the largest single deposit
of high-grade abrasive material of
yet known to mineralogy or geology
throughout the world.
To make sure he was right in
there being'no other such mammoth
deposits in the Southern Appalach-
ian range, he employed an expert
ed mineralogist from Engl md. to
traverse the Appalachian mountains
back and forth, from the Virginia
line to their dip in Georgia.
This expert crossed the range
according to the reports. So times,
and spent 4 IL years at the work
and found only one small streak of
the same ore in Clay county, n. c.
and Col. Jones and his associate
Mr.. |. L. Council. hold that.
He has never for a moment lost
faith in these mines, but went to
work to build a railroad, to get
cheaper rates, and better transpor-
tation facilities to tide-water from
Western North Carolina.
He says that now, even with the
high rates, that with the new meth
cd of separation, they are going to
install, that there will be a margin
Of profit, that will enable them to
undersell any artificial abrasive
produced at Niagara Falls or else
where.
The largest American users Q!
abrasive materials for sandpape,
and other purposes, are located il
Chicago, Philadelphia, New York
and Boston. They have all tested
the goods, and they have sent down
mining experts to see if these mines
on Sugar Loaf and Double Tor
mountains, lying IS miles from
Waynesville, in Jackson county
have capacity to supply the re-
quirements of these institutions
that are using about 5000 tons Del
annum of abrasives.

to the best imported garnet, all there

He and Mr.. Council have control
of all three of these vast deposits of
abrasive ores, and are organizing a
new company, to set them all in
operation again, and expect to
have them going before the end of
1915. employing over 500 men.
The mechanical engineers that
perfected the new machinery for
cheapening cost of production, are
preparing the plans to remodel the
present plant, to operate the new
method.
There will be constructed a darn
to create water power, to generate
electricity, to operate the mills, and
to operate the electric drills at the
mine, ard operate the drums for
one mile of overhead cable road,
and two miles of trolley road to the
railroad station; and supply light
for the night crew, as the mills will
have to run night and day, to meet
the demands.
They hope by the last of August
to have this instaliment complete
at Ruby City, and work of produc-
ton under full Roadway, turning
out 5000 tons per anllnum from the
Ruby City plant.
This means the mountains sof
Western North Carolina lead the
world in inexhaustible deposits Of
high-class abrasive minerals of eco
no1nic value, that are used in some
form in every civilized home on the
face of the earth.
They show the long foresight and
good judgement of Col. Jones and
why he has SO persistently labored
all these years to get this state to
help to free Western North Carroll
ma from a one-line railroad monop-
oily, and the state from this high
freight rate trouble, by building a
road to tide-water, so that these
minerals in Western North Carolina
can get to the markets of the world.
He showed your correspondent
letters from men from Germany
from Sweden, from France and
England, THAT have visited these
mines, and tested goods from them
and will use them.
He showed us contracts that, but
for the European war and his long
sick spell last year, he would now
be delivering a thousand tons per
annum to Germany alone. He
showed us letter from a single
Chicago firm, using 100000 per
}, annum. He also showed us letters
from the assistant editor of the En-.
cheering and Mining Journal. and
the editor of Manufacturers Record
who have personally visited these
mines and endorsed these reports.
Col. Jones has settled the cues

mems, but world-beater in abra-
, sive materials with tonnage like the
