The Georgia Chamber of Commerce is in position to as sist those in this section owning Mica deposits, commonly call ed ‘lsinglass’ in finding a mar ket for this product in large or 'small quantities at prices that will prove a source of income to those sufficiently interested in collecting this material. De mand for Mica is considerable at this time, and the prevailing price of four dollars a pound for the first grade ought to stimulate mining of this prod-i uct. Mica is found in the moun tainous sections of this state, aand is frequently turned up by the farmers with a plow, they casting it asideas of no value simply because they have no idea of its worth and uses. Mica has countless uses and the demand for it iss all the time growing. Among oth er things, it is used in electric bulbs, by phonograph manufac turers, as well as for insulation of all sorts, and the demand is great due to thg lack of impor tation from other countries as a result of the war. There is a sufficient supply of Mica in this country to meet the demand for it if it were systematically mined. The Georgia Chamber of Commerce will furnish the ne cessary information for the sale of this product, and the organi zartion is much interested in the development of this industry in Georgia at the present time.
