The J. S. Garner property of 80 or 40 acres is on the Upper Springvale-Cuthbert Road, a quarter of a mile east of Springvale post office in Land Lot 58, 9th Land District. The first bauxite mine in Randolph County was opened on this property in 1916 by Sparks & Hudson, who operated the mine for 8 or 4 years. The mine was then leased to the Kalbfleisch Corporation who operated it for a year or two more. Some 4,000 to 5,000 tons of bauxite were mined and shipped from the property.
