McCallie, State Geolo gist of the Department of Forestry and Geological Development, is sending one of his assistants, Mr. Richard W. Smith, to Butts county next week to look for deposits of sheet mica (isinglass), feldspar, and primary kaolin (white clay). Mr. Smith is examining deposits of these minerals all over Georgia.
