10 HAVE CLAY
 PLANTS IN YEAR
Eastern Expert, Declares After lnVes- tigaton That Industry Will Be
 Built Up Here Soon.

Little Rock.-Arkansas has un- touched clay resources which need only development to yield millions of dollars annually and which with the contemplated river transportation and cheaper coal rates would supply the markets for clay materials of the entire South and Southwest accord ing to w. L. Goeltz, a representative of four leading concerns manufacture ing clay materials in the East and who is now in Arkansas inspecting the clay deposits of the state Mr. Goeltz declared that the quality of the clay deposits of Arkansas is un- surpassed by those of any other state He said that by the close of the pres ent year several plants probably would be in operation ill Arkansas de veloping and turning into articles of commercial value the hitherto spurn- ed and unused clay.
 So confident is Mr. Goeltz of the future of the industry in this state that he will establish permanent headquarters in Little Rock, and will at once take the preliminary steps toward securing the interest of the concerns which he represents in the clay deposits here. Analyses of va rious samples of clay from different parts of the state will be made and the samples will be submitted to thorough tests.
 The clay deposits which I find in the vicinity of Little Rock could be be used for tiling, fire proofing. flow CT pots and face brick, said Mr. Goeltz. The deposits contain an exceptionally fine quality of clay and are entirely undeveloped. Arkansas brings large amount of clay mate rials into the state at large ship ping expense. when it could well be the center of supply for the entire Southern and Southwestern markets The amount of revenue which could annually be derived from this indus try would easily reach into millions of dollars.
