East Tn. barite mining and a lost silver mine ( sorry If I posted this
I have found no documentation of any silver mining in this area. but core sample records of some barite mines near by. Show trace amounts of Lead, Iron ore, silver, and pyrite among other minerals and metallics. This region was heavily mined for barite in the 1800's up into the 1900's. Then with the mining of barite in the west at a lesser cost.
