 While coal and ire on are the chlef mln- erals that have been developed and the state is best known fbr her great produc- tion of these it maE not be generally known that there are rich deposits of other minerals all through north Alabama.
 Among the minerals, aside from coal and iron. that have Heen more or less eX- tensivelv developed are beauXlte, clays, copper, gold graphite, lime, mlca mlnerals waters, natural gaa, -pyrlte sand anu gravel silver, stone, and the by-products of coal and coal tar products.
 The graphite indu Ptry Tn eastern Ala hama has assumed large proportions Tn the last three or four years, until now it repre- sents investments run tnlng well up lnto the ! millions.
 Gold has been mined on a small scale in Alabama for more than half century.
 Of coal tar producds which are just now receiving great de eal or atIelleion, writer in the current number o1 the ClVfc R,,ilder the official publication of the Bir- ningham Civic assoc diation, says:

In addition to the crude tar supplied by the by-products nlants. a large amou mt of material is sup piled by city gas D ants throughout the south. All of thesd gas plants produce more or less coal tar, the bulk of winch finds it's way into Birmingham as raw material for our local tar plants
 Further along. in the article the writer saws: "The coal tar industry has not been highly developed to the extent that It has been in foreign countries and in certain parts of our own country. We do notnake any of the analine dyes or pharmaceutical materials which ard produced from coal lar derivatives. Our materials are of a crude nature and ard used for the purposes indicated. The port ion of the coal tar dis tillates which are qitable for further re finement are shipped to northern plants which carry on the process of refinement to a high degree.
