INVESTORS NOW
MINING BAUXITE
ABOVE AMER|CUS
BIG INDUSTRY IS BEING DEVEL.
OPED IN SUMTER COUNTY
THIS YEAR.

Just now, perhaps, the busiest Sec
ton Of Sumter county is in the val
liable bauxite region, which stretches
for probably two miles out to the east
of historic old Andersonville, and
eight or ten miles north of Americas,
where this very valuable ore is found
in rich stratas. The mining indus
try has been going forward there for
some time past, but with the advent
of the new year the forces developing
the ore have been increased, and baux-
lite is now being mined upon a large
scale, it is said.
The story of the discovery of baux-
lite in Sumter county was first told two
years ago, when representatives of a
rich st. Louis syndicate came there
and bought up large areas of rather
poor farming lands at record prices.
No one knew the object in view at
the time as the land purchasers took
none of the people there into their con-
fidence, but the Missourians had been
shown" already by experts that baux-
lite in rich paying quantities were 10
be found in the Ioamy old fields along
Sweetwater creek. So they bought the
lands and went to digging bauxite.
And they are taking it out today by
the carload
Already, it is said, sidetracks have
been built out from the Central rail-
way, eastward into the bauxite fields,
and the ore, from which aluminium is
produced, is being shipped from Sum-
ter county to ST. Louis, where it is re-
fined Practically all of the lands, sc
far as yet discovered, which contain
bauxite deposits, have been bought up
and the present owners of the old
fields and hillsides along Sweetwater
creek are going to make a mint of
money right there
Quite recently, it is said, the dis
covery of bauxite deposits Was made
upon the little farm of an old negro
woman, near Andersonvil1e. The place
had hitherto been considered of little
value, but the old darkey has recently
sold it at price that set a new
pace on lands in that vicinity and
made her independent for life.
