I^WWiin The {Mineral Wealth of East Tennessee "f]"N no other section of the United States, of -"- equal area, is there to be found such a wide variety of minerals in commercial quantities as are found in the East Tennessee valley. Much of the mineral wealth of East Tennessee has not been touched. With the great amount of hydro-electric power available in this section (see page 5) the opportunities for development are many and offer large returns to those who know how to develop these mineral deposits. IRON ORES. Tennessee produced approximately 200,000 tons of ore valued at $500,000 in 1924. It is estimated that there are about 800,- 000,000 tons of ore that have not been touched. COAL. Over 7,000,000 tons of bituminous coal is being mined annually in East Tennessee and an almost inexhaustible supply is available. ZINC. This is one of the major mining operations of East Tennessee. Mines in operation at Mascot and other points in East Tennessee produce annually over $2,000,000 worth of this ore. COPPER. Three companies near Ducktown, Tenn., produce over 20,000,000 pounds annually. In conjunction with the smelting of the copper ore, there is a large yield of sulphuric acid, the sulphuric acid plant at Copperhill being the largest in the world. MARBLE. Tennessee marble is known the world over. The present output in East Tennessee is approximately one million cubic feet, and the available supply is almost unlimited. Tennes see marble was first used in the Federal Capitol in Washington in 1844. LIMESTONE. Most of the rocks in East Tennessee are limestone having a high percentage of calcium carbonate, some averaging 99%. BARYTES AND MANGANESE are also produced in the East Tennessee section. Other minerals to be found in the East Tennessee section include: Bauxite, Feldspar, Fluorspar, Glass Sand, Kaolin, Lead, Mica, Gold, Silver and abundant supplies of clays of the ball and flint variety, (see detailed map on pages 10 and 11). In addition to the mineral resources the Appalachian region contains the largest body of virgin soft texture hardwoods remaining in the United States. This consists of white and red oak, poplar, chestnut, basswood and red birch. Tennessee is also the home of aromatic red cedar. The hardwoods of East Tennessee are particularly adapted to interior trim and cabinet work. Eastern Tennessee has some of the largest hardwood flooring and lumber manufacturing industries in the south.

Produced by the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, this 22-page booklet promotes the area in and around Knoxville, Tennessee. Titled, “Just the High Spots of Knoxville and East Tennessee,” the book is a curious mix of promotion. While the brochure promotes the idea of a national park in the Great Smokies, it equally touts industrial progress with pages devoted to agriculture, transportation, education, industry, and hydro-electric development.
