WEALTH IS SAND AND CRAWL
Increase In Production In 1910 Accord.
Ing to U. s. Geological Survey.

More than $21 100000 worth of sand
and gravel was dug for sale in the
United States in 1910. This is figure
not many million dollars removed
from our present annual production of
silver. According to report by
Ernest F. Burchard just issued by the
United States geological survey, the
production of glass sand, other sand,
and gravel in 1910, was 69,41O,436
short tons, valued at $21, O37 $50,
against 59,565,551 short tons, valued at
$1S,336,990, for 1909.
,Inls increase in production of near
ly 100000 short tons and in value of
over $2,7OO,00O is due to the more ex-
tenslve use of sand and gravel in con-
crete construction work, building sand
constituting nearly half of the entire
output for the year. During recent
years, particularly in the large build
ing centers, there has been a greater
general appreciation of. the importance
or using proper sand and gravel in
cement concrete, so that leading archi-
tects and builders are requiring sound,
clean, washed material,
The geological survey formerly made
neld and laboratory studies of many
kinds of sands and gravels in localities
where federal buildings were in course
of construction. These studies have
shown great variations in the quality
OF sand and gravel used at different
places for making concrete. Some
contractors content that run-of- bank
sand and gravel are the best for max
ing concrete, but this contention is
generally not sustained by practical
trials and experiments. The most de-
sirable material is that which is free
from clay, loan, or dust. Mica, pyrite,
or limonite also is Objectionable, if
present in large quantity. A coating of
dust on gravel prevents it's proper con-
tact with cement, so that such pebbles
are easily broken out of the concrete.
The following table shows the ire
mendous increase in production of
sand and gravel in the last nine years,
which is largely coincident with the
growth of the cement industry in the
same period, cement production hav-
ing increased from 25,274,949 barrels
in 1902 to 77,7S5,141 barrels in 1910.
Sand and Gravel Produced in the Unit
ed State, 1902 1910. in Short Tons.
