New Mining Corporation
Gets Charter; To Produce
Chrome and Olivene
*\
The Industrial Minerals
corporation of Burnsville
which was granted a state
eharter this week will mine
chrome ore and olivene.
Three hundred acres oh
Mine Hill in the Mine Fork
section of the county have
been leased and very rich
deposits of the minerals
are located on it.- The pro
perty is owned by the Ray
heirs, Mai MeCourry and
the Edwards sisters.
The enterprise is being
financed by a group of
Chicago men, represented
here by G: W. Kunstman,
Jr. Charles Weid, ' civil
engineer of Chicago, is in
change of mining opera
tions and is already in
Burnsville to begin install
ation of machinery and
operations. The firm
plans to maintain offices
in both Burnsville
Asheville.
Chrome ore and olivene
are critical materials in
the defense effort. Chrome
ore is essential to the pro
duction of chromium, and
at the present time olivene
is used in refractories.
Experiments show that
it can be used in extingu
ishers f 9 r incen d i a r y
bombs.
The Chrome mineral
also contains a very high
percentage of magnesium
ore and is expected event
ually to become one of the'
nation’s leading sources
for the production of mag
nesium metal.
Mined During World War I
The enterprise is not an
entirely new one here as
these same metals were
mined on the Mine Hill
property during World
War I. However, at that
time the mining was done
by hand and was not very
extensive. "3^’*' ;;
The present corporation
plans- to instal latest type
machinery and to use mod
ern methods in mining the
products.
E. L. Briggs, Burnsville
lawyer, is attorney for the
firm, and ,G. W. Kunstman,
Jr. is now in __ Burnsville
with Mr. Priggs and Mr.
Weid to get operations
under way. Mr. Kunstman
personally held mining
leases in 1935 and 36 on
part of the property now
leased. He stated that the
firm planned to widen and
expand their operations as
rapidly as possible, and!
that-other deposits of the;
minerals will probably be |
included.
Norman H. Poole who
formerly lived in Burns
ville and who has been in
terested in mining in this
section for several years is
with the company in an
advisory capacity and he
and Mr. Briggs were in
strumental in interesting
the Chicago capitalists in
the development...
Students of Burnsville
high school may get their
report cards on Friday

report.
Through their Purchas
ing and Marketing Asso
ciation they have been ab
le to secure a great many
packages of certified gar
den seed which contain
seventeen varieties of seed
and approximately twenty
eight . pounds in quantity.
Some of the varieties were,
tomatoes, beans, squash,
spinach, beets, okra, peas,
lettuce, carrots, mustard,
turnips, kale, lima beans,
cucumber and corn. Prac
tically all of these vegeta
bles are invaluable to can.
One of the goals this
summer is to can one hun
dred quarts per person in
the family of which 20
should be tomatoes, 10
string beans, 2 lima beans,
4 beets, 2 carrots, 1 corn, 2
greens, 1 okra, 2 garden
peas, 7 soup mixture, 1
squash and thp remaining
of different fruits and
berries.
Many group meetings of
; women are being planned
so as to teach them to can
i some vegetables which
ihave in past not been can
ned or have found trouble
in preserving. In addition
to increase canning, fami
lies are planning for ade
quate storage of these cans
and many raw vegetables
and fruits as potatoes,
cabbage, carrots, parsnips,
beets, turnips, pumpkins
and apples are being stor
ed. Since the price ofmeat
.and lard have advanced,
families have decided in
