PAGE TWO GEORGIA CLAY FOUND USEFUL BY EXPERTS Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce After investigation Makes Report On Clays WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—The results of a study of the utilization of Georgia and Alabama clays as mini,,,, fillers, recently completed by 1 Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce, indicate that these clays .when prepared properly, can be used advantageously in the man ufacturer of paper, wall paper, rub ber, paint, oilcloth, textiles, kalso mine, plaster, matches, and numer ous other materials. The white clays or kaolins of Georgia and, to a small extent, of Alabama have been utilized in the ceramic industry for many years, ac coruing to W. M. Weigel, mineral technologist, in a report just publish ed. Some of these deposits have supplied clay to paper manufactur er.- and a very few have produced cla. for use in rubber compounding and the manufacture of oilcloth and paint. As many owners and opera tor- of clay deposits are unfamiliar with the different requirements for clajs to be used as fillers, and so are are unable to prepare their products for the market to which it is best adapted, the Bureau of Mines, in its endeavor to increase efficiency and economy in the mineral industries, as studied the clays in question to ascertain the uses to which they eouid be most efficiently put. A study of the Georgia clays for cera mic use was the subject of an earl ier investigation by the Bureau. The general area in which occur the clay deposits studied by the Bu reau of Mines extends as a belt acr. s middle Georgia, into Alabama and up to the northern end of the boundary between Alabama and Mis iss.ppi. This area is part of the coas tal plain region. The Georgia clays we'e evidently derived from the de composition of the crystalline rocks of the Piedmont Plateau to the north ard some of the Alabama clays are from similar rocks to the northeast. The clay beds range in thickness from those too thin to work profit ably, up to more than 40 feet. The thickness of cover ranges from a few inches up to depths that make stripping impracticable. At some places 50 to 60 feet of cover has b< < n stripped to expose the clay. Heaven must be a place where you can wear a suit of clothes as long a.- the vest lasts.
