The Mica Counties
The mica belt i,n Macon county
seems to be a continuation of that
running through Jackson, Haywood,
Mitchell, Avery and Yancey. The
heaviest production has heretofore
been, and probably still is in, the
latter three counties, with Mr. E
C. Guy of Newlands one of the
leadirag producers, but the reopen
ing of old and development of new
mines in this section is producing
a great deal of extremely higl
grade micu. There are many mines
ot proven worth still idle in Ma
con county, and their operation
certainly would make la valuable
contribution to our national de
fense. Many of these mines, Rocky
i-ace; Lyle Knob; Polly Miller
Lyld Cut; Turkey's Nest; Thorn
Mountain; lotla; Baird Cove
Mica City Creek and many others
produce a very high grade of
clear, ruby mica, comparable in
every respect with the famed
"Bengal Ruby" of India.
Uses Of Scrap Mica
The scrap mica industry is more
than ever gaining prominence. This
material has a vast number of
uses. The manufacture of paints
wall paper, lubricants and many
other domestic materials require
many tons of scrap. This kind of
mica is found in large quantities
in Macon county. Three plants
are now operating near Franklin;
two at Lotla Bridge by Charlie
.Bradley and Ld Duvall, and a
third in the bend of the Tei:iesee
River near the Franklin Power
Plant by Fred Arnold and Lee
Xippett. Mr. L. H. Page operates
a grinding plant near the railway
depot in Franklin, and states that
there is a ready market for all
scrap mica produced, and at at
tractive prices.
This writer has many times dis
cussed the question of mica de
posits and their potentialities with
Jim Roper, who probably knows
more about the mica situation in
3facon county than any other man,
and it is his opinion that the "sur
face of thU industry hat hardly
been scratched."
