VALUABLE SLATE QUARRY. We have for sale a valuable property in East 

 Tennessee, containing over 2,000 acres of excellent timber land ; in addition, however, 

 to the timber there is upon the tract a deposit of remarkably fine slate. The slate is 

 easily and cheaply quarried splits thin, straight and smooth, and punctures without 

 scaling. After thorough tests the best experts have pronounced it equal to any slate in 

 the United States. The quantity seems to be inexhaustible. 



A mill has already been erected for grinding, polishing and finishing the slate, all of 

 which is in good condition. 



There is also a large storehouse, good dwelling and several cabins, besides other 

 improvements, such as tram-roads, blacksmith shop, etc., all of which goes with the 

 property. Immediately available is also a splendid water power of about 18 feet fall, 

 strong enough to run a large manufacturing plant lo economically handle both the slate 

 and timber. This is reasonably accessible to railroads, and most of the year has water 

 transportation to the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The location of this tract gives it 

 easiest and cheapest access to the Western market, an important factor in connection 

 with the Western trade, which at present is supplied from more distant quarries. The 

 reason for this property being placed on the market will be-given any one interested in its 

 possible purchase, and will be found satisfactory. We believe a bargain can be had in 

 its purchase.
