from the following Figures. quot.
ed from q recent U. s Geological
Survey Bullet,n: In 1880, the
gross output Of the several fac,O
ries Of this country amounted to

ment. In 1890 80, 900; in 1900,
1,4i4,OOO; IN 1910, 1886 1862.
A barrel Of Portland cement
will consume about 400 pounds of
limestone and 100 pounds OF clay
OF shale. A plant making 1000
barrels a day will therefore use,
in the course Of al ordinary year.
about 6G 900 tons Of limestone
and ~, 900 tons Of clay or Shale
Assuming average density for
these materials, a 1000 barrel
plant will use up almost | OOO, 600
cubic feet of limestone = year, to-
gpther with $50, 900 cubic feet Of
shale
A the investment IN plant ID
heavy, 1t would Dc folly to locate
cement plant, under ordinary
circumstances, ~ 4 point where
less than 20 years supply Of raw
materials is N sight. A thou
