INDIANA GOULD PRODUCE EVEN GOLD, IF ISOLATED, GEOLOGY REPORT SHOWS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Feb, 23 Munlflclently endowed by nature with manifold natural resources, Indiana, after more than a century of existence as a state despite the advance made in utilization of some of these has been rapid, sees many of Its resources remaining latent or only meagerly developed, according to Dr. W, N. Logan, state geogolist, In a report just filed -with the department of conservation. "From a commercial standpoint the ideal state would be one whose resources permit it to supply Its own needs." feays Dr. Logan. "But it is a fact, well established that no state live3 to itself alone. "However, If during a world cataclysm such as was recently experienced by world war, an impenetratable barrier should be built about Indiana, the diversity of her natural resources and her manufacturing industries would enable her inhabitants to go far toward the goal of self-preservation, and a self realization. For Indiana has been favored with natural resources, the variety, value and abundance of which are not realized by a large part, even of her own citizens. "In case of extreme isolation, Indiana could produce her own, needs enough coal, petroleum and Its products, gas, iron, building stone, lime, cement, salt, fertilizers, except phosphorus, paint pigments, mineral dyes and by an expensive process aluminum. She would be without copper, nickel,' lead, zinc, silver and platinum, though she would probably produce old for front teeth filling." Fuel Is Important Because of the independence of .manufacturing and Industrial development on fuel, this resource is of primary importance Hiid Indiana's posses sions in coal, peat, petroleum and

natural gas place the state in a posi

tion of great economic independence. Of coal, Indiana produces annually its five tons per capita, and per capita

consumption of the United States, ana a surplus of nearly 2,500,000 tons. The , coal beds of Indiana occupy an area op- ! proximately 7,000 square miles In the western and southwestern part of tho state. One or more beds underlie the whole of 15 counties and parts of 10 others. According to George A. Ashley, formerly assistant state geologist, the total amount of coal in Indiana aproxlmates 50 billions tons. Indiana Coal Good The coals of Indiana rank well among the bituminous coals of tho Interior basin because they contain a high moisture and volatile matter content and only a medium ash and sulphur content. Although belonging to the bituminous division they contain a variety of high fuel value for domestic use called "block" coal and a variety of cannal coal, the latter which Is a good gas producer. The state ranks sixth in the production of bituminous coal. A large amount of the petroleum produced in Indiana comes from portions of Grant, Blackford, Huntington, Wells. Adams, Jay, Delaware. Madison and Randolph counties. This field known as the. Lima-Indiana field, reached its maximum production in 1904 when more than 11,000,000 barrels were being produced in the state and the larger part from this field. The largest natural gas area In Indiana lies in the eastern portion of the state; in the counties of Delaware, Blackford. Jay. Madison, Hancock, Henry and Randolph. Gas has recently been obtained from wells in Lawrence county and in the southwestern oil field in Pike and Gibson counties. The eastern gas field of Indiana reached the peak of production in 1902 when the value of gas produced was more than $3,000,000. At the present time the value of its production is somewhat under $1,000,000. Many Peat Beds. Many of the shallow lakes, marshes and ponds left on the surface pf northern Indiana following the retreat of the glacial Invasion were later filled with an accumulation of vegetable matter. This vegetable matter gradually transformed into peat, the socalled first stage in the formation of coal. The workable peat beds cover

approximately 36.000 acres and contain nearly 3,000.000,000 cubic feet. Enormous fuel values are represented in this resource as well as mull which may be used as an absorbent, packing material deodorizer, fertilizer, filler, manufacture of gas, coke and ammonia. Although Indiana annually consumes more than one barrel per capita of cement, the state ranks second in production, producing more than three times what it consumes. Portland

cement is the principal kind but a small amount of natural cement Is manufactured. Indiana, has attained an enviable position among the states of the union

as a producer of high grade building! stone. The oolitic limestone from the I Salem formation which is known as (

Indiana Bedford or oolitic limestone Is highly praised by architects and builders and is widely used in the erection of both public and private buildings. Indiana ranks sixth in ceramic production, producing a variety of wares such as common, front, vitrified, ornamental and fire brick, total, about 250 millions annually. Drain tile, emcaustic tile, fire proofing, terra cotta, sewer pipe and stone lining are other important products. Pottery products such as red earthenware, stoneware, yellow and Rockingham ware, white porcelain and electrical ware, are manufctured. Manufactures Limes. Both quick and hydrated limes are manufactured in Indiana. The limestones used for the manufacture of the lime includes Niagara, the Mitchell and Salem- There are also deposits of marl which could be used tor this purpose. The lime product in Indiana is used for a number of industries. The invasion of ice during the glacial period left in its wake in Indiana, not alone destroyed or reversed drainages, but large quantities of sand and gravel which have been of great value to the state. Building sand, ballast sand, foundry sand, glass sand, paving and other sand's are well distributed, and the production is more than three and one-half million tons a year. The annual production of gravel exceeds two and one-half million tons. Marl Is Available. A secretion of white calcium carbonate, secreted largely by the plant, chara, accumulates on the floors of the lages in Indiana and forms with a slight mixture of clay and fine sand, beds of marl. The areal extent of available marl is approximately 7,500 acres, containing approximately 137,133,333 cubic yards. A variety of halloysite called "Indi-

anaite occurs in more than hair a dozen counties, the most important deposits being found in Martin and Lawrence counties. The kaolin is used in the manufacture of ceramic wares. The white kaolin is suitable for use in the manufacture of paper, paint pigments, filters, and absorbants and buffing powders. There are many important mineral springs in Indiana. About 20 of them sell about $500,000 worth of water each year. Seven of the springs have hotel accommodations for more than 2,500 people. Much of the water is sold for medicinal use. Favorite watering places are French Lick, West Baden, Trinity Springs and Martinsville.
