100000 Ton Manganese Contract Brings Cedar Creek Mines to Life
The American Alloy Company won a government contract to mine 100,000 tons of manganese at Cedar Creek near Star Tannery. Mines near the Frederick Shenandoah line hold about 200,000 tons with other deposits nearby. A refining plant will be built on Cedar Creek to meet 48 percent manganese ore specs, employing 90 or more at capacity. Initial employment may reach 200 workers plus refining staff, and total operation could run for years under the wartime rearmament program. Captain Charles F. Nelson owns the mines and indicated sale deals are in progress though ownership of the alloy company remains unclear. The firm is described as well financed with experienced manganese personnel.
