MINERAL OUTPUT
OVER SIT MILLION
Big Increase in Production
This Year Over Last,
Geologist Reports.
Daily Dispatch Bureau.


Raleigh, Dec. 1.-THE value of min
erals and mineral products now being
produced in North Carolina is in ex-
cess of S11 900, 600 annually, according
to estimates made by State Geologist
H. J. Bryson, head of the mineral re-
sources division of the Department of
Conservation and Development.
Partial figures compiled for 1886
show that the minerals marketed that
wear and composed only of limited
list, brought in about $8,387, 623, But
this list does not include clay or clay
products Divine, kyanite, spodumene
or crushed stone produced by the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission Nor does it include brick,
tile, sewer pipe or cement products.
AS result, Mr.. Bryson estimated that
at least $4,000, 900 should be added to
the value of the minerals already cal
culated, giving a total of more than
$1,000, 900 for the year.
North Carolina has some of the lar
gest known deposits of minerals in the
world and has only scratched the sur
face in developing many of these, Mr..
Bryson said.
More than 100000 tons of pro-
phylote deposits have already Iteen 10
Gated. with a potential value of $780,
oOo 900, while deposits of at least $685.
600. 900 tons of kaolin clay, with a
value of approximately SIS ton, have
also been located.
It is also estimated that there are
between 100000 and 100000 tons
of feldspar deposits in the state while
the supply of granite is so large as to
be almost inexhaustible.
