Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tennessee Its Agricultural Mineral Wealth: With an Appendix, Showing the Extent, Value and Accessibility of Its Ores, With Analyses of the Same The continued and increasing demand for some manual treating of the resources of Tennessee, from persons in every portion of this country and Europe, and the earnest requests from the Commissioners of the Centennial Exhibition, have prompted me to prepare the accompanying work. Some of it has been reprinted from the stereotyped plates of the Abridgement of the Resources of Tennessee, ordered by the Commissioners of Agriculture, but a great deal of valuable matter pertaining to our mineral wealth, the result of more recent investigations, has been added in an Appendix. In this Appendix may be found analyses of iron ores from every division of the State, besides a great deal of fresh information which has never been embraced in any previous report. Especial attention has been given to such information as relates to our iron deposits. The State of Tennessee is remarkably rich in its beds of coal, iron, marble, cement rock, water power, and building materials. Prominence has been given in this work to such facts as will lead to an investigation of the peculiar advantages the State offers for the production of iron. It is believed, and this belief is steadily gaining ground with every fresh development, that Tennessee will in time become the great centre of iron manufacture in the United States. The excellence and great variety of the iron ores, the abundance and cheapness of fuel, which consists of both stone-coal and wood for the manufacture of charcoal, the contiguity of these to navigable streams and railroads, the salubrity and excellence of the climate, the productiveness of the soils, and the consequent cheapness of living, assure no doubtful future to the State of Tennessee. As will be seen, there are in the State brown and red hematites,. magnetite, specular, and fossil ore All the forms of limonite, namely, compact, pipe, pot, needle or gothite, turgite, bog, shot, black-jack, honeycomb, plate, slag, crystalline; also black band, carbonate of iron - these, and many more of inferior importance, are found in some of the divisions of the State. By a proper admixture of these ores any variety of iron that the market may demand can Ire made. Rich coal fields, lying in proximity to inexhaustible beds of iron, can be bought for a nominal sum, not one-tenth what such property is worth in Pennsylvania. Timber privileges can be had for five cents per cord, and as a cord of wood makes about twenty-five bushels of charcoal, loss than thirty cents expended in timber will suffice for making a ton of iron. As to the quality of Tennessee iron, there can be no question at this daw it has stood the severest tests.
