Abstract

"There are some of our people who are quite ready to cry 'chestnuts' whenever the upper Natchez is mentioned as turning out something wonderful in the way of a mineral production. But just the same the mineral is there. It is not one thing or two that are found, but every thing in the shape of mineral that is valuable has been discovered. From the mouth of the Rattlesnake on up to the summit, almost everything in the mineral line can be found."
