MORGAN COUNTY MINERALS


There will be another display of
Morgan county minerals at Legion
hall, March 28, at , p. m. All are
invited Mr. Parks Of Columbus is
expected to be present.
This display is principally to call
to the attention of the people Of the
Muskingum river valley that we
have an inexhaustible supply of
high minerals that compare favor
ably with those mined and COM
mercialized largely elsewhere, ana
that there will be a great demand
for our better minerals when they
are properly prepared and introduc-
ed, especially our ochres and tales.
We have large deposits of both
minerals that are suitable for var
ious uses, those that contain a small
percent of ore, silica or mica, and
those that are entirely free of any
foreign substance, giving our min
erals a broad scope for various in
dustries These two should be
commercialized first, others will
follow.
We wish you to attend the meet
ing and see the display. 1t will
give you more complete knoWl-
edge of our minerals than You could
gain in roaming the hills for num-
Der Of years. We expect you.-The
Committee.
