After reading in The MounUineer
about feldspar being found in the
county J. F. Shelton, of Jonathan's
Creiek became interested in some
mysterious minerals that he had pre
viouslly found on his farm, and
brought them in to compare with the
feldspar.
In addition to the minerals which
resembled iron ore, copper and one
lhat was said to show signs of gold,
Mr. Shelton brought in a large sam
ple of kaolin which is plentiful on
his farm.
This mineral, which is used in mak
ing Chinaware, was once mined on
his farm about 35 years ago, but the
man who was in charge of the min
ing operations left the county hur
riedly and the mining ceased. Since
that time Mr. Shelton has not taken
up the propject. He said, "this kao
lin is about as pure as is found in
the country. I am well located near
a good road and since the vein is so
near the surface the mining cost would
be small."
Mr. Shelton is interested in get
ting someone that is familiar with
kaolin mining to take an interest in
the mine and begin operations again.
The other minerals were left at this
office for public inspection. They are
creating much interest. Anyone fa
miliar with minerals is invited to
come and name them for us and Mr.
Shelton.
