MUCH MINERAL IN
THE GREAT SOUTH
Map Prepared for Use of South
ern Commercial Congress by
Geological Survey.

An impressive exhibit of the min
eral resources Of the Southern States,
including Virginia. whose industries
arc set forth in the exhibit of the
Southern Commercial Congress. is seen
In large wall map which has just
been specially complied by the United
States Geological Survey for the use
OF the congress. The minerals or the
several areas are shown on the map
i'm appropriate colors and tints. some
Of which are. of course, superimposed
OH others.
Coal is the premier mineral resource
of the Southern States. The map shows
large areas OF workable bItuminous
coal In Maryland. Virginia, West Vir-
ginia. Kentucky. Tennessee Alabama.
Texas and smaller areas in Georgia
and North Carolina. The Geological
Surveys estimate OF the original ton
mage I'm the ground) OF tho Southern
coal fields is 1857. 600. 900 short tons;
the total production TO January l, 1912
was 24,537.26S tons. The area of the
Southern coal fields Containing work
able Goals Ia shown, AS 104,696 square
miles. and that which may contain
workable Goals as LAC. 700 square miles
additional
The arcaI distribution OF oil and ma
tural gas as shown on tho map In
very inconspiouous compared with the
great coal areas. The value Of the oil
and natural gas produced in 1911 was.
however, nearly three fourths that OF
the coal produced in the same year
The value of the coal produced in 1911
was s124.O00.0O0; that of oil and gas
was sS9.ooo,o0O.
Clay products OF the Southern States
in 1911 amounted to more than s2a-
100000, and the Geological Survey is
authority for the statement that the
Southern deposits probably exceed in
area and volume those OF any other
portion OF the United States OF the
same size.
The lead and zinc produced in tho
Southern States in 1911 was valued at
s16.6l4.36o. The stone was valued at
S14.276.l63, and is shown on the map
TO be we'll distributed. The production
of phosphate is essentially % Southern
industry, and the value of the output
in 1911 was s11.S60,S11
or iron ore deposits. large areas are
Indicated on the map in Missouri
Arkansas. Tennessee. Virginia, West
Virginia and North Carolina, and
smaller bodies In Maryland. Alabama,
Texas. South Carolina and Georgia.
The output from the ten producing
Southern States In 1911 was valued at
S7,37?,267. An estimate OF the avail
able iron ore reserves in the Southern
States by c. willard Hayes. formerly
chief geoloGist OF the United States
Geological Survey, places ii at 100000
600 long tons, together with a much
larger quantity OF low-grade ore.
Copper is produced in seven of the
Southern States; the value OF the 1911
output was $2,455,S63.
