Historial Records of Randolph County:
" There has always been more or less gold mining interest in this county.  The 
distance from railroads and the cost of handling machinery has kept down what 
would have proven to be a profitable industry.  The Pinetucky Gold Mine twelve 
miles north of Wedowee has recently put in modern machinery and much work is 
being done. It is operated by the Fair Milling and Mining Company.

The W.L. Ayres gold mine is a curiosity.  It is situated on the old 
Arbachoochee Copper land just on the line between Randolph and Cleburne 
counties.  The vein is about the shape and size of a large hogs head, one 
lying on top of the other.  There is a hollow space in each roll about three 
inches in diameter"
