Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red Iron Ores of East Tennessee General statement - The attention of the iron makers of the United States has been turning toward the Southern iron ore fields to a consider able extent during the last decade, but more particularly since it has been proved possible successfully to make basic open hearth steel from South ern iron ore. In response to many inquiries for information concerning the various ore fields and the utilization of the ores, the State Geological Surveys of Alabama and Georgia have already issued special reports on these subjects and the United States Geological Survey has issued several reports, some of them covering interstate areas. Scope of this report - This bulletin on the Red Iron Ores of East Tennessee, written for publication by the State Geological Survey of Tennessee, is intended to describe the red iron ores of the northern part of what has, in a broad way, been termed the Chattanooga District. The material presented herewith will, it is expected, be combined later with descriptions of the ore beds extending southwest of Chattanooga, as far as Springville, Alabama, and southeast of Chattanooga as far as Rome, Georgia, and be published as a bulletin by the United States Geological Survey.
