The undeveloped mineral resources, sueh as marble. talct kaolin. copper, iron and other ores, as well as the forests of virgin hardwood timber, offer1 unlimited (opportunities. Mr. Fisher is demonj strating what can ?e done in this ( section, and it is calculated that his achievements will bring others into this field! for developments. Mining and smelting propositions, woodworking plants and any number of others would find this >an excellent location on account of the combiation of natura^ resources, together with the unlimited labor supply and the competitive tfreight rates from this point. 1 for the benefit of tbe worker*. j
