Iron Resources
of This Section Said to be
Unlimited.

| Oiie VI lhe pest posted men III
Lee county on the iron resources
starts away back 100 years ago
when Mr.. Coger started fur
mace at litton Mills, also the
furnace started at Bales Ford 90
years ago.
1t certainly is interesting to
listen to u man of Mr.. loung's
intelligence and long experience
tell of the incidents encountered
in his long life among the Lee
county hills.
MIR. Young is one OF tile very
few who has faith in the belief
that IRON in Lee county is the
same as Birmingham and is what
the geological map shows it to be.
MIR. Young has interviewed sew
eral of the government geologi-
cal men the past 10 years, also
some of the big furnace men
from Alabama and they all back
him up in his contention that
this same Wallen's ridge which
furnishes Birmingham her iron
is the same which terminates at
East Stone Gap and the same
veins OF ironof the same thick
ness do appear and are exposed
in several places in Lee county.
MIR. Young relates some argn-
ments he has had with Ballard
Thnrston on the location of one
of the main veins of iron which
can be followed for miles in the
mountain side by the fact of the
snow melting on it when other
places the snow does not melt.
Mr.. Young recalls showing
some of these iron outcroppinss
to J. X. Taggart some 20 years
back and MIR. Taggart playfully
accused MIR. Young Of sailing the
mine.
Mr.. Young optioned a great
deal of this iron land for Geo. l..
Carter a number OF years back,
but some of the large owners re-
fused to give the options and the
plans fell through.
MIR. Young heartily approves
the efforts Of the Big Stone Gap
AID Club to agitate and stir up
the interest among the iron land
land owners of Lee county with
view of getting Henry Ford or
some of the big northern million
aires to see the opportunity i'll
orr iron and he feels sure the
time will come that he will be
able to give some help and in
formation when some of the big
fellows come round looking the
prospect over.
The writer asked Mr.. Youno
TO give an approximate guess at
the number of tons of iron ore in
Lee county and the only way he
would estimate it was as more
tons of iron in Lee than tons OF
coal in Harlan.
The Big Stone Gap Adj Club is
in close touch with the associa-
ton mt Bristol and Johnson CITY
that are back of the effort to or
ganize all the iron interests in
the Bristol trade territory aud
bring certain facts before MIR.
Ford and his associates regarding
this iron.

started and there is mountains of
