State-Line Bank
This bank, so-called because of its location near the Georgia-Alabama State line, is on the Southern Railway, about half-a-mile southwest of Etna station. The bank was opened up, in 1875, and has been worked almost continuously, ever since. It is reported to have produced, during this time, several hundred ·thousand tons of first-class ore. The works consist of several large cuts on the hillside, covering a total area of about five acres. The excavations vary from 10 to 40 feet in depth; and they are often connected, one with another, by means of short tunnels, which form the common road-ways, leading to the washers. The ore occurs in pockets and leads, which have been followed up, by the main cuts. These cuts form a perfect labyrinth, extending in all directions. The surface~clays on the hill are usually quite red, and carry mostly gravel-ore; while, below, the clays are varicolored, and contain, besides gravel, bowlder- and honeycomb-ore.
