tinuous mining of iron and copper
ores the production today is greater
than il ever was before. SO far as
biologists are able to see Michigan
will continue TO supply vast quaint
ties of iron and copper for gen.
erations to come. While Michigan's
fame as a mining state rests mainly
on her vast deposits of copper and
iron ores, she produces in addition a
large number of other mineral prod
ucts, among the more important of
which are coal, salt, gypsum, clay,
mari, limestone, glass, sand, whet-
stones and scythestones, gem stones
and silver. Prior to 1896 a consid-
cradle amount of gold was produced
from quartz veins in the vicinity of
Ishpeming.
Gravel, Clay and Mart.
Gravel, clay and mari are all
found in the glacial drift which is the
universal soil formation of the state.
Gravels are becoming more and more
valuable for use in road building and
road ballast. Marls are used in the
production of Portland cement. Mari
beds occur in many of the inland
lakes of the state, and constitute the
basis of an important Portland ce-
ment industry. Michigan makes more
cement from mari than any other
state. Many of the most valuable clay
deposits occur around the borders of
the state in the beds of the extinct
glacial Great Lakes, which were the
predecessors of the present Great
Lakes and whose shore lines are found
far inland on the present day land
surface. These clays form the basis
of brick and tile industry, the value
of whose products exceeds $2,O00,0OO
annually.
"The Michigan coal basin occupies
over 5000 square miles of territory
in the central part of the southern
peninsula. Coal beds varying from
an inch up TO above four feet in
thickness occur in the upper part of
the coal measure series. 1t has been
estimated that there are 000,00O,00
tons of coal in the Michigan basis,
most of which is available for min
ing. At the present time the active
centers of coal mining are Bay City,
Saginaw, st. Charles and in Genesee
county. The value of the coal pro-
duced is more than S3,000,000 an
nually.
Salt, Gypsum, Oil and Gas.
Rock salt occurs in the rocks of
the Salina series and is produced
through a shaft at Detroit. The
greater part of the salt production of
the state, however, is obtained by the
pumping of brines and evaporation
with waste fuel from lumber mills or
in especially constructed vacuum
pans. Salt is produced mainly at
Detroit and northward along Lake
st. Clair, in the Saginaw valley, and
at Ludington and Manistee. The
value of the salt products of Michi-
gan is about S2,500,000 annually and
exceeds that of any other state.
Gypsum occurs in the Grand Rap
ids group of the carboniferous series.
The annual production is valued at
from 100000 to 100000.
Michigan produces small quaint
ties of oil and gas. Many of the
farmers in the southeastern part of
the state and some other places OBJ
tain sufficient natural gas from shall
low behring's for domestic purposes.
