I*. Smith of the University of South Carolina Geology Department in an article in the July number of Pit and Quarry. The value of stone exceeds all other non-metallic minerals in South Carolina, 1,391,910 tons having been mined in 1930, most of it being crushed and used for concrete and road metal. Only one quarry, near Winnsboro, has produced any large quantity of granite for monumental and construction pur-l poses. The Winnsboro granite is veryl desirable, Dr. Smith says, much of it| being sent out of the state. According to Dr. Smith, clay ranks U second in importance among non-1 metallic minerals, South Carolina I being second only to Georgia in the! production of clay in the United! States. Practically $750,000 worth ofl clay was obtained in 1930. M Sand and gravel is worth about $350,000 annually. Practically all the gravel comes from the Waterce river, south of Camden. Phosphate rock, Dr. Smith says, is greatly responsible for the establishment of the fertilizer industry, in South Carolina, although little of it is mined now. v. m. o.
