Mica has also been prospected near Lathantown, in eastern Cherokee County, but the material in that vicinity seems to occur in small pockets which are so isolated as to render any attempt to mine it hazardous. The reported finding of tin (cassiterite?) some years ago on the E. J. White place near Lathantown is of interest in connection with the pegmatites of the vicinity. We were, however, unable to obtain any of the tin-bearing mineral.
