The ore-bank on this property, lot 113, 2nd district, is located on the hill-slope, near the public-road, about half-a-mile northeast of the Shiloh Church property. The bank has been opened, in two or three places, by open-cuts, from which a few car-loads of ore have been shipped. The cuts are now well-filled with earth; so that they show but little ore in place. Float-ore is quite plentiful on the hill-slope, about the excavations; and this would seem to indicate the presence of a considerable deposit of ore. The bowlder-ore, here, as at the Shiloh Church bank, occasionally contains pyrite. Chert is also present; but it is not abundant. With the exception of water, the ore-bank of The Georgia Loan & Trust Co., is favorably located for economic mining. At the base of the hill, in a large lime-sink, was noticed an exposure of fossiliferous limestone, which evidently belongs to the Chickamauga formation.
