The Iron Hill barytes mine is on lot 786, 21st district, 2d section, 1 1/2 miles north of Allatoona. The property contains 40 acres and belongs to the estate of the late L. S. Munford of Cartersville. The ore deposit is leased to the Bertha Mineral Company, a subsidiary of the New Jersey Zinc Company. It lies on the west side of the Allatoona-Webster Ferry public road, a few hundred yards west of the Iron Hill brown ore mines that are owned and operated by the Etowah Development Company.

The Iron Hill mines were formerly known as the Allatoona and the Crow ore banks which were first worked before the Civil War. Not long after the war the mines were connected with the Western & Atlantic Railroad by a narrow gage line from a point near Allatoona station. This spur was later taken up, but in 1917 a standard gauge branch road was built by the Etowah Development Company from milepost 41, a mile northwest of Allatoona, to the iron mines, 2 miles northeast of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The Iron Hill barytes deposit was first worked in the eighties, when it was known as the Keys property. Two pits were opened and the ore was freed from mechanical impurities by hand-cobbing, or chipping with hammers and chisels. Some high-grade barytes produced by this simple preparation was shipped from Allatoona. A few tons of ore remain in piles near the open-cuts, and some rather extensive prospecting done in 1919 gives promise of an excellent ore deposit.
