ores. Lignites, etc. 
‘‘The general surface of the country presents the usual characteristics 
of the iron ore regions of the Gulf Tertiary of Texas. It consists of a 
series of hills and plateaus, with narrow undulating valleys, the 
whole surface being cut by numerous streams and deep ravines. 
These divides are for the most part generally narrow, but occasionally 
broaden into wide and extremely level plateaus, sometimes several miles 
in breadth, and are capped by strata of iron ore of varying thickness, to the 
presence of which the ridges owe their very existence.” Pp. 204-20'5. 
“The iron ore ridges are covered by a dense forest growth of oak trees, 
hickory, pine, walnut, sassafras, mulberry, cottonwood, etc., and have 
generally an altitude of from three hundred and fifty to seven hundred 
feet above the sea level, and are from one hundred to two hundred and 
fifty feet higher than the main drainage grooves of the iSabine and 
•Neches.” P. 20'5. 
“There are six localities in the county where ore occurs in sufficient 
quantities to irsnder it commercially valuable. * * - * 
“The first of these is the Garden Valley bed.
