Excerpt from The Mining Industry in North Carolina From 1937 to 1945North Carolina contains a large potential mineral wealth. More kinds of rocks and minerals are found here than in any other southeastern state and perhaps more than many other state of the Union. More than 300 varieties of rocks and minerals in the State have been identified and described. More than 70 of these are known to have economic value and between 40 and 50 have been produced in commercial amounts at one time or another during the present century. Although North Carolina does not contain large deposits of mineral fuels and metals, it is an important producer of non-metallics and/ or industrial minerals. In, the field of non-metallics it is a leading producer of feldspar, primary kaolin, scrap mica and pyrophyllite.The present report covers the mineral industry for the years of 1937 through 1945, and includes statis tical data for 1936 not covered in previous publications. Due to the fact that complete statistics are not avail able until some time after the end of a calendar year, those for 1945 are the latest which are included, and, in the case of some commodities, the 1945 figures were not available when the chapter covering these was prepared.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
