Iron ore found near Pike County town
Zebulon Ga June 19 Special excitement grips the town over a reported iron ore discovery on a ridge just outside the Eastern Incorporate limits. A prominent geologist from Atlanta is here, calling the ore rich and mineable. Landowners along the vein have been approached by a large iron foundry, with some signing contracts for yearly ore removal. The tale traces a book agent who sparked interest by showing a rock specimen to Alabama foundries and earning a fee for the location. Further developments are awaited.
