This has been a handicap to the development of an Ala bama industry in ngnite; For It Is a new industry and capital hesitates at the novel.
 Dr. Smith said yesterday that he found extensive deposits of Ignite In upper Coffee and lower Pike. It was no new discovery. however. The state Geological Department of which pr. smith Is the head had previously lo- cated these Ignite beds and had de- veloped the presence of Ignite deposit extending across the Southern section of the state from the Tombigbee to the Chattahoochee.
