INF ()ITS
OF Tale and soapstone are
Small as Home Industry
Increases.


WASHINGTON, May 1O.-so-calls cd
genuine lava tips are not made
from lava. but from tale. with which
soapstone is closely allied. The tale
and soapstone industry is an l1npor-
tant smalled branch Of our mineral
production. Last year. according to
a report of j. S. Dlller, Of the United
States Geological Survey, issued as
an advance chapter. from Mineral
Resources" for 1911, the production
was 14Si55l short tons, valued at
$l,6460ls. This was a decrease in
quantity compared with 1910 of 1856
tons, but an increase in price OF
s5S.625. due apparently to the sale OF
"a larger proportion OF the output in
manufactured form. The imports for
consumption in 1911 were only
1850 tons, valued at sss,2Ss, a de-
crease of nearly ten per cent in
quantity and of eighteen per cent in
value compared with the correspond
ing imports for 1910.
!. With the exception Of small pro-
duction in California the entire out
put of tale and soapstone in the
United States comes from a compar-
tatively narrow belt of ancient cry
stalline rocks running through the
Antlantic states from Massachusetts
marketed either in rough or crude
and Vermont to Georgia The pro-
ducing states are Georgia, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Rhode. Island, Vermont and Virginia.
More than forty-three per cent of the
total output of the United States in
Il911 came from New York.
The supply Of best grades OF tale
in the United States, such as are
used for toilet powders. electric in
sulators, gas tips, and the like, is NOT
nearly equal to the demand and these
grades are imported, chiefly from
Italy and France.
Tale and soapstone are usually
form from the mine, sawed into slabs,
as manufactured articles. or as
ground tale. The uses to which they
are put include the manufacture OF
bath and laundry tubs, fire brick 70.
stoves. heaters, etc, hearthstones.
mantels, sinks, griddles. slate pen
ellis. gas tips, burner blanks, crayons,
and numerous other articles for
every day use, foundry faclngs, paper,
lubricators, for dressing skins and
leather, paint, pigment, etc.

soapstone may be obtained free OH
