AYRES IS DEVELOPING GOLD MINE PROPERTY IN NORTH RANDOLPH

Work is being done on J.D. Ayres' gold property on the Randolph and Cleburne 
county line. This property is located on the south slope of Turkey Heaven 
Mountain, five miles south of the noted Arbacoochee gold mine, three miles 
west of Stone Hill Copper mines and three miles west of Pinetuckey gold 
mines.

The vein is cut in several places for a distance of about one fourth of a 
mile. Mr. George Cain, an experienced gold miner, is superintending the 
work. He says the ore will run thirty dollars per ton. It is predicted by 
mining men that this will prove one of the best paying gold mines that has 
been discovered in Alabama, as there are millions of tons of ore in sight 
and the situation of the vein makes it easily accessible.
