of the mineral resources division OF
the Department of Conservation and

Four companies engaged in the
mining of tale or pyhophllite are either
charging their plants, building new

PAW has purchased two mica mines
and leased two others in Mitchell and
Yancey counties while another COM

over several volcanic ash deposits and
will develop it commercially 1t is
estimated that these new properties
that have been purchased together
with the improvements, represent an
outlay of more than SoOo,ooo' brysoh

The new uses which have been de-

EXPANSION HELPS
j. S. STEEL RATE
Operations of Subsidiaries
Exceed Estimates for
Entire Industry.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 16.-The
extent of progress in the expansion
program of the United States Steel
Corp. was reflected yesterday in a re-
port from Pittsburgh that operations
of the companys subsidiaries likely
will exceed the rate of s0.4 per cent
of capacity estimated by the American
Iron g. Steel Institute for all OF the
steel industry.
The report said Carnegie Illinois,
the steel corporations largest sub
sidiary, might reach a rate of be-
tween IS and 86 per cent of capacity.
Meets Competition.
In the view of steel circles, this is
not the result of any consequential
increase in demand for heavy steel,
but instead shows progress of Big
Steel" in meeting the competition for
lighter steel trade. Especially is this
SO in light automobile steel, tinplate,
high-grade alloys and high tensile
steel
In the early years following the
1929 crash 1t became evident that the
independent companies were forging
ahead of the steel corporation in the
competition Of filling new demands
for light steels. For years before that
the position of the steel corporation
was virtually unchallenged. It's su-
premacy. however, resulted from its
superior capacity for producing bulky
steel and, because of this, it suffered
more heavily and more quickly in the
panic.
Held Lead Until 1892.
Operations of the steel corporations
subsidiaries, up to about the second
quarter Of 1882, had nearly always
been higher than the independents.
Since then there have been many
times when its activities were con-
siderably below the average rate of
the entire steel industry.
Furthermore, only once since then
has the rate of operations Of the
steel corporation been above the
average for the industry as reported
by the institute, and this was in the
earlier months Of the year when
G. I. o. strikes affected Bethlehem,
Republic and other independents.
To put itself in a better competitive
position, the corporation for several
years has given emphasis to its ex-
pansion program, designed not only
10 hold its old place in heavy steek,
but to meet the Independents in the
held Of lighter steels.
