Production Of Garnet in 1918.

There are many kinds Of garnet.
and the most widely known kinds
are the least abundant. Garnets that
can be cut into the well-known hand
some and sometimes highly priced
gems are rare. On the other hand,
some garnets are in many places so
abundant that they are frequently
spoken Of by mineralogists as "ordi-
nary garnet" Some varieties Of or
binary garnet, like many other com
things of unattractive appear.
ance, are far more useful than the
rare and beautiful varieties, and
probably the total value of the COM
NOR garnet annually consumed great
ly exceeds the value Of all the gems.
Certain varieties Of common garnet
are used as abrasive materials-that
is. they are used for cutting and Dol.
ishing by grinding or rubbing. Abra-
sive garnet is used chiefly In the
form Of so-called sandpaper and
cloth. Strange to say in the United
States at the present time sandpa-
per is made with sand: most
commonly it is made with crushed
quartz. and some OF it is made with
garnet. emery. corundum, and arti-
fetal abrasives. The common quartz
paper is generally called sandpaper;
the others go by the names garnet
paper. emery paper, corundum pa
per, etc.
According to statistics compiled by
Frank j. KATE. Of the United States
Geological Survey. Department Of the
Interior. the mine output Of abrasive
garnet in the United States in 1918
was 4.127 short tons; and the quanti-
ty of milled garnet marketed was
1900 tons. valued at $242,40l. Pro-
ducers of garnet reported stocks in
hand at the end Of the yea amount
ing to 2.030 tons.
During 1918 the price Of abrasive
garnet produced by quarry and mill
operators ranged from SIS to $50 a
short ton and averaged So. 20. The
mine output was somewhat smaller
in 1918 than in previous years, In
spite Of a heavy demand for garnet:
this decrease was due largely to
difficulty in holding an adequate sup
ply Of skilled labor at the ouarries
and mills. The garnet produced
came chiefly from Warren county.
n. Y; small amounts were contrib.
uted also by Merrimack County, N.
H.. and Clay County, N. c.
