Great Wealth Is Taken From Mines
Of the State Yearly. Report OF
State Biologists Gives Interest
ing Facts and Figures.

Eleven million, seven hundred for
tv-seven thousand, niue hundred anc
forty dollars represents the value Of
minerals of economic importance that
are now being mined in Georgia, &C
cording to data complied by State
Geologist S. w. McCalie. All Stats
tics are from the United States Geo
logical Survey, mineral resources
which in the last few years have been
collected in cooperation with the
state survey.
More value has been realized from
brick and tile than any other re-
sources, according to the survey,
which gives the value OF this industry
at $4,141,5
Marble comes second with a value
of $1867 Fps. All of the marbles Of
this state which have been worked
I'D TO date on a commercial scale are
confined TO a narrow belt from one to
three miles wide and sixty miles long
in Fannin, elmer, Pickens and Cher
okee counties.
The first systematic quarrying OF
marble in Georgia was done by F. I.
Simmons in Longswamp Valley near
Tate, Pickens county, in 1840 Two
years later Simmons erected the first
marble mill in the state, and a short
time later another mill was built by
Simmons and Hurrick, two miles east
OF Jasper. The organization OF the
Georgia Marble Company in 1884
marked the beginning of Georgia as
great marble producing state. For
many years this state has ranked sec
ond in the production OF marble.
Value of Cement.
Portland cement and slate are valued
at $1,184480 there being both natural
and Portland cement produced in this
found commercially in only two local
tiles, at Cement, in Barlow county,
and at Rossyille, in Walker county
The raw materials such as limestone
and shells used for the manufacture
of Portland cement are utilized at
present only in Polk county near
Rockmart. Natural cement was manu-
featured in Georgia as early as 1851,
while the Portland cement industry
began in this state III 1908.
The slate deposits of Georgia are
found in Barlow, Polk and Gordon
counties. The largest area of slate will
be found about three miles south OF
Gainesville and extends roughly to
about five miles south of Rockmart.
Another slate formation occurs in the
vicinity of Cedartown, while a third
deposit, known as greel slate, is to be
found in Barlow and Gordon counties.
These states are being quarried and
crushed for roofing purposes. The first
quarrying of slate in this state was
done by Joseph G, Blake, in 1850. The
total production of slate in Georgia
reported in the United States Geologi-
cal Survey from 1879 to 1917 was SO,
097 squares, valued at $165,9l8,0O0.
Since 1906 there have not been more
than two producers in any year, and
the production cannot be given, under
the law.
The value OF granite is placed at
$1.057,823. The GRANTEES and gneisses
Of the state are widely distributed

 Barbara Townsend, portrayed by Miss Talmadge. was ambitious to make a success of married life. She realized that to pen up husband and jealously watch his every action, would be fatal to her aspirations. So strongly was she impressed with this idea that she didn't realize that she was allowing him too much freedom and that she could lose him just as easily by giving him too much rope as by trying to tyrraniZe him.
 So when he came to her one day and asked for divorce it was a painful shock to her He had mistaken her at- titude for lack of interest in him and another woman" was the result. New ertheless, Barbara was proud and she gave him the divorce, but she didn't give him up. This action was merely the first step in her grand plan to win him back.

WADE H. OLDHAM
 GIVEN PROMOTION
Made General Superinten. dent Fairfield Steel
 Works
(ENsLEY BUREAU)

Wade H. Oldham has been made general superintendent of the Fairfield Steel works. Official announcement to this effect was given Tuesday to The Age-Herald bureau by George Gordon Crawford presidnet of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company
 Mir. Oldham was promoted form the Ensley blast furnaces where he has been superintendent for the past few years to the higher place at Fairfield. George H. Millar will be assistant general superintendent of the Fairfield works. The divisions headed by K. k. Baxter. asgeneral superintendent of the Fairfield Car works and the superin- tendency of the coke works at Fair field are not affected with this change.
 Mir. Oldham. will be succeeded at Eesley by R. II. Ledbetter, who comes to this post from the Bessemer fur naces of the company. The changes were effective here April l.
 Mir Oldham, is widely known among furnace men and is popular among his associates at the steel plant division and among business men and others of Ensley. He succeeded Karl Land- grebe as superintendent of blast fur uaces. MT. Oldham will be assisted in his work at Fairfield by George H. Millar, who came to the Fairfield works as general superintendent and who has handled that plant since it's construction.
 New Steel RecOrd-The best record in steel production ever made in Ensley was hung up during the month of March when over 10000 tons were made at the Ensley open hearths. The local open hearths melted the capacity. of the six blast furnaces at Ensley, Alice and one at Bessemer besides con- siderable scrap. The record during March exceeds the best previous record by 2.500 tons or more. The war records of the Ensley plant attracted nationwide attention, but it is expected that this record will prove even more interesting to steel makers.
 The furnaces at Ensley are known to produce a greater tonnage of steel than any similar number in the United States.
 The report of this record in Ensley Tuesday was the occasion for wide in terest, there being many business men that were former employees of the open hearth who always keep up with the production of that department.
