The Marietta pyrite mine is situated 2 1/2 miles in an air line, 3.1 miles by road, southwest of the Western & Atlantic Railroad station at Marietta.
The locality was first prospected for copper by Hart and Tudor, 30 or 40 years ago. Early in 1916 the present operators bought 37 acres of land along the lead of the old copper prospects and started further prospecting. The mill was put in operation about November, 1916. The present owner is the Marietta Mining Company, of which W. G. Liggett, Dallas, Texas, is president, and J. P. Hamilton, Marietta, Georgia, is mining engineer.
