U. S. Says Slate
Flour May Be
Used on Roads
Bureau of Mines Finds Quarry
Waste of Value as Filler
on Asphalt Sur.
faces.

Washington, June 25.-In order to
find a useful outlet for waste ma
terial at slate quarries tests have
been made by experts of the United
States bureau OF mines to determine
the value as filler in asphalt road
surface MIXTURES.
According to statistics, so to o5
per cent of the gross production of
all slate quarries in the United States
is discarded as waste, and the lab
oratory tests we're undertaken for the
purpose of devising the best means
of reducing the proportion of waste,
the utilization of the unavoidable
waste to the end that the added cost
of the finished production be re-
duced.
Actual Tests.
Actual tests in laboratories of COM
panies preparing road asphalt mix
lures indicate that for resistance to
impact slate -four is equal to other
perior to both limestone and Port
briquets and intermediate between
them in standard sheet surface mix
lures. In cementing value it is su-
perior to both lonesome and Port
land cement in asphalt bonded
biquets and intermediate between
them in standard sheet surface mi :
ture. Tests show that slate -four
contains approximately IS to Is per
cent more of the fine dust that con-
stitutes effective filler than either
trap rock or Portland ce-
ment. In volume weight it is about
equivalent to limestone and approx
mately 10 per cent superior to Port
and cement. The cost OF slate -four
IS little more than half of Portland
cement, but its ability to compete in
price with limestone is not yet es-
.ablished.
Would Improve Highways.
The bureau is careful to point out
hat while the tests already made are
not sufficiently comprehensive to
give conclusive results they are def
lite enough to suggest possibilities
If such importance as to induce
urther and more extended research
both by slate producers and by
of asphalt road mix
ures. The bureau of mines is con-
,inced from its tests that the use of
;late -four as filler in asphalt road
surface mixtures would result in inn
proved highways and that a wide use
# such filler would afford profit
lble outlet for waste slate, with con-
equent advantage to the slate-pro-
iucing industries.
