Iron ore 



The Clinton iron ore is at present worked for two distinct 

 purposes, as a source of iron and for the preparation of mineral 

 paint. 



The mines now in operation are situated just east of the village 

 of Clinton, where mining has been carried on for about 50 years. 



The Franklin Iron Manufacturing Co. has an extensive mining 

 plant capable of producing a large quantity of ore. The entire 

 output is smelted at the company's furnace at Franklin Springs, 

 about 2 miles by rail from the mines. 



The plant was put into operation July 12 and up to Sep. 27 

 had mined 13,800 gross tons of ore. 



Adjacent to the foregoing mines is the property of C. A. Borst, 

 who has recently installed a very complete mining plant. 



The product of the mines is at present all used in the manu- 

 facture of mineral paint. 



The output for the year was 2925 gross tons. 



Mineral water 



A short distance south of Franklin Springs a mineral water 

 industry of some local importance has developed within a few 

 years. 



The water comes from wells drilled to depths of 75 to 100 

 feet, the source being apparently in Clinton rocks. 



While the different waters vary considerably in composition, 

 they are as a rule quite saline. In two cases lithium is reported 

 in some quantity.
