Manganese.

Manganese is found widely disseminated through Virginia in the form
of black oxide and as manganiferous iron ore. The most productive manganese
mine now worked in the United States is that of the Crimora
Company, Augusta County, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains on
the west, near Waynesboro. Other deposits, that are thought to be as large,
have recently been brought to light within a few miles of Crimora, between
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad and the Blue Ridge.
