Preliminary Report on the Upper Gold Belt of Alabama

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Dear sir - With this I hand you my report on the gold occurrences of the Upper Belt of the Alabama Gold Regions. The field work which furnishes the material for the greater part of these notes was done during the summers of 1893-4. Since that time, however, I have had occa sion to revisit several parts of the field where active work of prospecting or mining Was being carried on, and to revise the notes, and bring them up to date. This will explain the lack of compactness or unity in some of the descriptions, especially of the Pinetucky, Idaho and Arbacoochee Districts.
