Mica in Talbot County
-------
TALBOTTON, Ga., May 4.—What is regarded by mineralogists as one of the most extensive mica mines in the south has been found recently on the property of Dr. J. W. Mitchell, in Talbot County. A number of characteristic specimens from the mine have been forwarded to mica mills in the north and east where they have been declared as good as any placed on the market. The mine in Talbot is in reality nothing but a field which has never been worked for the mica contained in the soil.
