ILLINOIS MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 1944
BY
Walter H. Voskuil and Douglas F. Stevens
INTRODUCTION
The Illinois mineral industry is a key factor in creating and supporting the in- dustrial activity in Illinois and, to con- siderable extent, in other states of the Upper Misssissippi Valley. The primary materials of industrial production — fuels and iron ore, the latter from the Lake Superior district — are available in abundant quantities and are assembled for processing at a low cost on Lake Michigan near the large market of Chicago and of smaller cities in the industrial belt. There are abundant cheaply mined and good quality coals at points accessible to manufacturing centers. In addition to this, certain min- erals essential to the processing of primary steel, such as refractory materials and fluxes, are also present in the area, together with a variety of mineral products for foundry, chemical, construction, and other uses.
This wide array of manufacturing in- dustries lies in the center of one of the most efficient and low-cost food producing areas in the United States, if not in the world. A fertile soil has provided an area of high food yields, a mechanized agri- culture has brought production costs down to a low level, a flat topography has aided in the introduction of cost-saving farm machinery and the low cost of transporting farm products to consuming centers, and the use of power on farms, by displacing animal power, has added millions of acres to the
farm land available for the production of food.
The unusual and excellent endowment of industrial, mineral, and agricultural re- sources offers opportunities for production and employment that are probably un- matched elsewhere.
Acknowledgments
This report is made possible through the cooperation of the Bureau of Mines and the Bituminous Coal Division of the United States Department of the Interior, the Illinois State Department of Mines and Minerals, and the cooperation of mineral producers throughout Illinois in furnishing information regarding their operation.
Each of the sections of this report was prepared in close collaboration with the heads of the several mineral research di- visions of the Illinois State Geological Survey. Special assistance and advice were contributed by Ralph E. Grim, Petrog- rapher and Principal Geologist in charge of the Geological Resources Section; G. H. Cady, Senior Geologist and Head of the Coal Division; A. H. Bell, Geologist and Head of the Oil and Gas Division; J. E. Lamar, Geologist and Head, and Robert M. Grogan, Associate Geologist, of the Industrial Minerals Division ; and G. C. Finger, Chemist and Head of the Fluorspar Division of the Geochemistry Section.

ILLINOIS MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 19 U
SUMMARY OF PRODUCTION AND VALUE OF ILLINOIS MINERALS IN 1944
The mineral industry of Illinois in 1944 continued at a high rate of production. The total value of minerals produced during the year amounted to $333,697,782 as valued at the mine, quarry, or pit. This was a decrease of $4,334,386 less than the 1943 production. The additional value of $202,357,378 for mineral materials proc- essed, but not mined, in Illinois brought the total value of all minerals produced and processed during 1944, for which data are available, to $536,055,160. This was a decrease of $23,914,976 from the all-time high record established in 1943.
A summary of the production and value of Illinois minerals in 1944 is presented in table 1, with comparative data for 1942 and 1943. Detailed figures for each min- eral are given in the various sections of this report, to which reference is made in table 1.
The unit of quantity measurement used for each mineral product is that commonly used in the commercial handling of that material. Wherever possible the net or short ton of 2,000 pounds is used, but some products are sold by the gallon, barrel, cubic foot, or by the number of pieces. In some materials, diversity of products makes it impossible to give any measure of quan- tity.
The value of each mineral product, in its first marketable form, is given as its net selling price at point of origin, without in- cluding any transportation expense other than that necessary in bringing it from the mine to the place where it is made into a marketable product. Wherever possible, average or unit rates of value are given. The quantity and value of metals are given, not as those of the ores, but in terms of the recovered metals.
Mineral production is considered as those minerals or mineral materials which are mined and sold or used by producers in Illinois. Mineral materials which were processed, but not mined, in Illinois are shown separately. Every effort has been made to avoid duplication.
Illinois has attained a position of im- portance among the various states in the production of several mineral materials. Its rank both in quantity and value of these materials is given in table 1. Mineral products provided approximately 50 percent of the tonnage handled by Illinois railroads.
In order to permit comparison of recent mineral production with that in previous years, figure 1 and table 2 are presented, which show the value of annual mineral production of Illinois from 1914 to 1944, inclusive.

COAL Coal in 1944 — The National Picture Table 3.-
Under the stimulus of the war effort, coal production in the nation rose to a high level of 620,000,000 tons of bituminous coal and 63,701,363 tons of anthracite. This is an all-time high in coal production, approached only in 1918 when the output was 579,385,820 tons for bituminous coal and 98,826 tons for anthracite.
Figures for bituminous coal production since 1938 are shown in table 3.

PRODUCTION BY DISTRICTS
Coal production by districts is shown in table 4 for three years — 1942, 1943, and 1944. Of particular interest are districts east of the Mississippi River which pro- duced 92.10 percent of the bituminous coal output. Districts No. 5 in Michigan and Xo. 7 in southern West Virginia lost in tonnage over the previous year. All other districts in price area Xo. 1 gained in

tonnage output but showed a loss in per- centage. On the other hand, gains in both tonnage and percentage were registered in Illinois, Indiana, and western Kentucky.
Mines in districts 7 and 8 worked prac- tically to capacity in 1944 in an effort to supply coking coal requirements of the iron and steel industry. As a consequence, the all-rail movement of coal west- ward from these districts declined in spite of a general increase in coal demand. (See table 12.)
Although competition among pro- ducing districts in price areas is keen, there is a certain degree of market specialization among the several districts, based mainly on the char- acteristics of the product.
Districts 2, 7, and 8 supply coking coal for the blast furnaces and also a high percentage of fuel used for do- mestic heating. These two markets are, in a sense, complementary. Coal suitable for coking is also excellent for domestic fuel. The small sizes and screenings are therefore absorbed by the coking coal market and the prepared sizes find a ready outlet for domestic fuel over a large area.
Districts 3, 4, 6, and 9 market one-third or more of their output as railroad fuel, whereas the remaining districts distribute their output among manufacturing industries, utilities, railroads, and retail yards.

e There is a discrepancy between figures used for Illinois in this table and in tables 4, 5, and 7, which were taken from the U. S. Bur. of Mines preliminary report for 1944, and those used in other tables which were taken from figures from the Illinois Dept. of Mines and Minerals Annual Coal Report for 1944.
Shipments from the principal competitors of Illinois coal fields are shown in table 5.
Production of coal by states, for the years 1940-1944, is shown in table 6.
Coal in Illinois
Table 7 shows the coal production for the years 1939—1944 inclusive in the Eastern Interior basin. The production history of these three competitive districts and the contribution of each to the total production of the Eastern Interior basin from 1913 to 1942 is shown in table 4 of Report of Investigations No. 94, page 17.
The coal industry of Illinois continued to play an important role in the war effort through 1944. During the war years, Illinois mines not only contributed an in- crease of tonnage but they increased their percentage of the national output. These increases for the years 1942-44 are estimated at 25,000,000 tons above the normal peace time ratio of the national total. In some instances it has had the effect of drawing severely upon developed reserves. The in- crease in tonnage and percentage for the years 1941 to 1944 is shown in table 8.

c One mine operated both strip and underground.
The heavy demands upon the producing districts in the Eastern Interior coal basin grew out of the restraints imposed upon shipments from districts Nos. 7 and 8 in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky in an effort to meet industrial fuel requirements in the eastern states. Again, as in 1942 and 1943, there was sustained mining ac- tivity in Illinois during the summer months (table 8).
DATA BY TYPE OF MINE
Illinois coal production for 1944 is shown in table 9 by type of mine, giving counties and mine inspection districts. Local mines are defined as those which do not ship coal by rail. Table 1 1 summarizes the same data for the decade 1935—1944.

Coal Distribution in the Illinois Coal Market Territory
the market area
Illinois supplies substantial quantities of coal to eleven states in the Upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys and minor quantities in several additional states. The principal market states are Illinois, Indiana, Mich- igan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Arkansas. In this same area also are mar- keted vast quantities of coal from West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. This Upper Mississippi Valley is a battle ground for competing fuels from widelv separated regional sources. (See table 12.)
The complex nature of the coal market in this industrial area is indicated by the diverse nature of coal requirements such as coking coal, domestic fuel, railroad and industrial fuel, the various producing dis- tricts contributing to this market, and the competing all-rail and rail-lake transporta- tion over which the coal is delivered to these markets.
THE ALL-RAIL MOVEMENT
The all-rail movement, exclusive of rail- way fuel, supplied 72,000,000 tons in 1944 of which Illinois supplied approximately 43,000,000 tons (table 12). The heavy movement from eastern producing districts, particularly in West Virginia and eastern

ILLINOIS MINERAL INDUSTRY IN 19 U
Kentucky, consists largely of coking coal and the large sizes of the same type of coal for use in the domestic market.
Certain changes in 1944 worthy of note are the substantial decline in shipments from the New River and Pocahontas districts in West Virginia and a corresponding increase in shipments from southern Illinois as com- pared with 1943.
LAKE SHIPMENTS OF COAL
The lake trade in coal in the past has been exclusively a movement of coal from Appalachian producing districts to lake port markets on Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior.
The data on lake shipments of coal from Appalachian fields do not specify the des- tinations of coal originating in each field. Some inferences regarding the destinations can be made, however, from the nature of the market. In table 13 is shown the origin of lake cargo coal in the years 1942, 1943, and 1944. As noted in this table, the bulk of the shipments comes from Pennsylvania and from the low-, medium-, and high- volatile coal districts of southern West Vir- ginia and eastern Kentucky. Shipments from the low- and medium-volatile coal fields consist of screenings destined to the coke ovens of the Chicago district. Coal from Pennsylvania is destined to Upper Lake Michigan and Lake Superior ports, both in the prepared sizes and as screenings for domestic and industrial fuel. The
heavy demand for coking coal resulting from the wartime expanded steel industry in the Chicago district caused a substantial increase in shipments of coking coal from the low-volatile coal districts in southern West Virginia in 1944. Total shipments fell off somewhat. This is explained by the heavy war requirements of eastern in- dustries and a resultant shortage of coal (other than coking coal) for shipments to the northwest. Total receipts from Ap- palachian fields at upper lake ports are shown in table 14.
The reduction in freight rates on coal from mines in Illinois, Indiana and western Kentucky to Chicago for transshipment to upper lake ports, and the heavy demands of war on all coal producing districts, resulted in lake shipments from Eastern Interior fields and provided a summer load for the mines. Shipments from Illinois and western Kentucky totaled 1,062,301 tons in 1943 and 1,450,143 in 1944. Illinois contributed 909,366 tons in 1944 and western Ken- tucky 540,777 tons (table 15). There were no shipments from Indiana.
COAL SHIPMENTS TO TIDEWATER
A total of 188,525 tons of coal were shipped from Illinois districts to tidewater for transshipment to South American markets. This movement probably will cease after wartime demands for coal on eastern fields decline and British coal also becomes available for the export markets.

METROPOLITAN MARKETS
Sources of coal for the two principal metropolitan markets for Illinois coal are shown in tables 16 and 17.
COAL PRICES IN 1944
Coal prices — mine, lake cargo, and re- tail— were subject to price ceilings imposed by the Office of Price Administration. During 1944 only minor changes occurred in mine prices of coal in those districts
serving the markets of the Upper Missis- sippi Valley (table 18).
COAL CONSUMPTION BY STATES AND USES
The distribution of coal by states and by sizes from each producing district has been made available for the first time in 1944 by the United States Bureau of Mines and the Solid Fuels Administrator for War. Tables 19—22 provide the pertinent data for coal originating in or shipped into the Illinois coal market area.

Degree-Days in 1944
Because of the close relationship between the number of degree-days accumulated dur- ing the heating season and the quantity of fuels consumed, a degree-day map of Illi- nois and a table showing degree-day records for the past heating season compared with the normal is useful in estimating domestic fuel consumption. In this issue a modified degree-day map has been prepared in which county boundaries are used to mark the boundaries of degree-day belts. While this results in some inaccuracies, the purpose is to show the number and types of heating units in each degree-day belt. Since these latter are reported by county units only, it was necessary to prepare a map in which boundaries of degree-day belts conformed to the nearest county boundary.

Degree-days are the number of degrees of temperature that the average temperature for each day falls below 65° Fahrenheit. These are totaled for each month and a cumulative total for the heating season through each month is determined. These data averaged over a long period of time give a reliable guide to the fuel needs of the locality in which the temperatures are re- corded. This information is given in table 16, Report of Investigations No. 87.
Figure 6 shows the modified degree- day belts of the state numbered from 1 to 8. District 8 comprises St. Louis City and county and is included in the tabulations because of the interest of the Illinois coal industry in this large market.
In table 23 is shown the number of heat- ing units by each type of fuel used, for each of the degree-day belts outlined on the map.

Fuel Briquets and Packaged Fuel
The principal locations for production of briquets are: ( 1 ) in the dock cities of the lake states, where enormous quantities of fines accumulate as a consequence of the rough handling of the coal in transit ; and (2) in the coal producing districts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and southern Illi- nois, where the nature of the coal results in a high percentage of fines being produced in the process of mining. Minor quantities are produced in other eastern and central states and on the Pacific coast.
Production of briquets. — The fuel briquetting industry exceeded the previous year's record for the sixth consecutive time in 1944, reaching a new high of 2,464,961 net tons valued at $18,434,579. This was an increase over 1943 of 13.9 percent in ton- nage and 21.7 percent in valuation. Of this amount 69 percent was produced in the central states, as shown in table 25.
This shows an increased lead for the central states over the remainder of the country from 42.5 percent in 1943 to 69 percent in 1944.
The briquetting industry was utilizing 28 percent of its total capacity at the beginning of the war in 1939. By 1944 it had geared production to 70.6 percent of its total capacity.
The states in the Upper Mississippi Valley again increased their lead over the remainder of the country as consumers of fuel briquets. Major consumers in this area are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Illinois.
Briquets marketed in Wisconsin and Minnesota are manufactured mainly from low-volatile coal screenings obtainable on the lake docks and produced as a result of the double handling of coal from rail to lake and back to rail again at upper lake docks. In North Dakota and South Da- kota, the market is supplied by briquets manufactured from the lignites of North Dakota.
Table 26 gives the shipments of fuel briquets of domestic manufacture into the Illinois coal market area in 1942, 1943, and 1944.

The production of fuel briquets in Illi- nois is increasing, an important part of this
production being made from the deduster dust, a byproduct obtained in the prepa- ration of stoker fuel from southern Illinois coal. It is impossible to publish data on the production of fuel briquets in Illinois without revealing operations of individual concerns.
Coke and Byproducts
The year 1944 witnessed a new high in coke production in Illinois in response to the heavy demand of the iron and steel industry for metallurgical fuel. A statis- tical summary of the coke industry in Illi- nois is given in table 28.

Petroleum in 1944 — the National Picture
Petroleum production in the United States in 1944 again exceeded all previous records. Under stress of war demands, the industry produced 1,677,753,000 barrels, exceeding 1943 production by 172,140,000 barrels. Just before Pearl Harbor, the nation was using an average of 3.7 million barrels of crude petroleum daily. In 1944 this average stepped up 4.6 million barrels. Yet so great have been the demands of war that, in spite of this increase, it was neces- sary to impose sharp restrictions on the quantity of petroleum allotted to civilians.
Petroleum in World Wars I and II
It may be interesting to compare the petroleum industry in the United States in World Wars I and II, selecting the years 1917 and 1944 for comparison (table 29).
Estimated Reserves
The national picture of petroleum re- serves at the end of 1944 remained un- changed in the states that contribute to the Illinois refining industry. There were ad- ditions in Oklahoma, Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan but there were losses in Kansas and Arkansas. The estimated reserve as of

These estimates, which are prepared each year by the American Petroleum Institute, are conservative. They include only oil reserves in proved fields on production and quantities recoverable with existing methods of production at existing prices. It by no means is an evaluation of undiscovered or untested reserves or of the oil ultimately recoverable in this area. The figure for each year represents the estimated reserves as of the given date after deducting the quantity withdrawn during the year and adding the current discoveries, extensions, and upward revisions for existing pools.

Prices of Crude Oil in 1944
Prices of crude petroleum products were subject to ceilings established by the Office of Price Administration. Subsidies were paid to producers for wells in the stripper class as defined by the O.P.A. regulations. No over-all data are available on the total sum paid to operators in Illinois, but such payments are in addition to the average value as shown in tables 33 and 34.

Gaseous Fuels in Illinois in 1944
Gas, both natural and manufactured, con- stitutes an important fuel in certain Illinois industries and localities, particularly Chi- cago and its environs, as shown in table 37.
Natural gas is obtained from fields both within the State and by importation from three fields in the Midcontinent — the Hugoton field in Kansas, the Amarillo field in the Panhandle of Texas, and the Monroe field in northern Louisiana. The Hugoton gas field supplies cities in central Illinois. The City of Chicago and its environs is supplied by pipelines from the Amarillo field, and the St. Louis industrial district is supplied from Monroe, Louisiana. The above named fields supplying Illinois are primarily gas fields.
About 5 percent of the natural gas used in Illinois is obtained within the State. Most of this production is associated with the output of petroleum, although there are two small gas fields in Illinois which have also contributed to the supply.
Manufactured gas is obtained principally as a byproduct of the coking and blast fur- nace industry and petroleum refining, although a considerable portion is manufac- tured in gas producers for sale to the public.
The gas manufactured as a byproduct of the coking industry, blast furnace opera-
tions, and the refining of petroleum, is used primarily in plant operations, and only a small surplus is sold to the public through the utilities. For example, the low calo- rific gas resulting from blast furnace opera- tions may be used as a fuel for operating the compressor engines or heating the stoves of a blast furnace plant. Surplus gas from a byproduct coking process may be used in the open-hearth furnace, in the soaking pits, or in several re-heat operations.
The principal outlet of manufactured gas is in manufacturing industries; the public utilities use natural gas or mixed gas in which natural gas is the more important ingredient.
The economics of gas distribution through public utilities in Illinois is of interest be- cause the conditions of distribution and the rates are affected by the cost of transmission from distant fields and the seasonality of the domestic heating load.
Because of the long transmission distance, approximately 900 miles, and the high over- head cost involved, it is advantageous to maintain a full load in the line if a market can be found for surplus gas in off-peak periods. The seasonality of demand in the house-heating load is shown in table 39. This, together with gas for cooking and water heating, returns the highest gross rev- enue to the utilities. The load in the sum-

mer season, however, is very low, as for example in August 1944, the load for this month was 17 percent of the yearly average and 4 percent of the January load, the month of highest consumption. The trans- mission system, however, is maintained at full capacity by offering gas for industrial use at especially low rates but subject to a "cut-off" clause which permits the utility
to shut off the supply to the industrial con- sumer on short notice in order to take care of sudden increases in the load among domestic users. Under these conditions, the utility can profitably dispose of surplus gas during off-peak periods at a price merely above the cost of the gas without charges to overhead, since the latter are unchanged by the full capacity operation of the pipe-line

Limestone, Dolomite, and Marl
Production of limestone, dolomite, and marl in Illinois in 1944 amounted to 10,- 655,800 tons, valued at the plants at $10,677,100. This was a decrease of about 7 percent in amount from that of the pre- vious year. Details of production are given in table 41 and 42, by kind and by use.
Commercial and government-and-contrac- tor operations. — Production of commercial operations is separated from that of govern- ment-and-contractor operations, which in- clude the following: State of Illinois, coun- ties, townships, and municipalities, produced either by themselvs or by contractors ex- pressly for their use. Purchases by govern- ment agencies from commercial producers are included in commercial operations. Government-and-contractor operations de- clined 16 percent, compared with 7 percent decline for commercial operations. Gov- ernment-and-contractor operations produced only 2 percent of the total tonnage of stone.
A g st one Used in Illinois in 19 UU- — Re- ports of producers to the Illinois State Geological Survey show that the amount of agstone (ground limestone, dolomite, and marl) used for soil improvement in Illinois during 1944 amounted to more than 4,210,- 000 tons (table 43). This was more than 30 percent increase over that used in 1943 and establishes a new all-time high record.
This remarkable increase in production of agstone resulted because a few larger producers concentrated on agstone and really made it "big business." Out of 25 plants, each of which reported more than 50,000 tons sold during the year, 19 plants sold considerably more than during the previous year. Out of 90 plants, each of which reported less than 50,000 tons sold, 70 plants made small increases. Many pro- ducers, large and small, suffered from scarcity of labor and difficulty in securing truck transportation and repairs, due to wartime conditions.

The progressive increase in the use of agstone on Illinois farms during the years for which figures are available is shown in table 44.
During 1944, agstone was produced in 48 of the 102 counties of the State. Of the total amount used during the year, 92.5 percent was produced in Illinois.
Table 45 gives the use of agstone by counties in Illinois during 1944, showing the amounts produced in Illinois and in other states. It also shows the arable land in each county and the average quantity of ag- stone used, in pounds per acre of arable land. These data are from producers who reported sales of agstone in specific coun- ties, or are estimates by county farm advis- ers, whichever is the larger. Production not accounted for in either of the above figures is given at the bottom of the table marked ''counties not specified." The total

CLAY AND CLAY PRODUCTS
67
CLAYS, CLAY PRODUCTS
Clays and clay products (including fuller's earth and silica refractories) sold and shipped by producers in Illinois in 1944, were valued at $15,904,500, and retained the position of the fourth largest mineral industry in Illinois, ranking next to coal, petroleum, and stone and rock products.
Clays Including Fuller's Earth
Clays (including fuller's earth) which were sold and shipped as such, amounted to 230,800 tons, valued at the mines or pits at $890,000, an increase of 4 percent over the previous year, as shown in table 52. Clays used by their producers in the manu- facture of clay products at their own plants are not included but are reported separately in the resultant clay products in table 53.
Comparing the uses of clays, the most significant change was the large increase in nonceramic uses. Clays sold for nonceram- ic purposes amounted to 109,000 tons, valued at more than $658,000. This was 24.5 percent more than the previous year, and was caused by an increase of 34 percent in clays used for bonding foundry sands, 49 percent increase in that for fillers, and 7 percent increase in clays used for oil re- fining and cleaners.
Ceramic uses of clays, totaling 121,800 tons, valued at $232,000 showed a decrease of 9 percent. This was due to decrease in clays sold for laying and daubing refrac- tories. Clays sold for manufacture of whiteware and for fire brick and retorts showed increases which were relatively large compared with the production for the pre- vious year.
Clay Products Including Silica Refractories
Clay products (including silica refrac- tories) sold and shipped by producers in
Illinois in 1944, with comparative data for 1943, are shown in table 53.
Refractories, clay and silica, amounted to more than 200,000 tons, valued at $4,- 053,000. This was 23 percent less than in the previous year, due to the completion of various war production plants under con- struction during 1943.
Structural clay products amounted to 727,500 tons, valued at $4,196,000 a de- crease of 12 percent from the previous year. Shipments of common brick were 10 percent more than in 1943, and shipments of sewer pipe, flue lining and wall coping increased 5 percent. All other structural clay prod- ucts were less in volume than in the previous year because of the sharp decline in civilian construction, due to the war. The value of structural clay products in Illinois in a more normal year is indicated by the aver- age value of the three immediate prewar years, which was $7,340,000.
Whiteware and pottery shipments for 1944 were valued at $6,764,600, a decrease of 8 percent in value from the previous year. Because of the wide variety in sizes of whiteware and pottery, comparison is made by value of products instead of by quantity, Flowerpots increased 23 percent and art pottery 2 percent. All other classifications showed decreases. Some whiteware plants were engaged exclusively in the manufac- ture of war products during 1944.
Total clays and clay products sold and shipped in Illinois in 1944 were valued at plants at $15,904,500, a decrease of 12 per- cent from the previous year. This reduction was due primarily to decreases in production of refractories and whiteware.
Annual sales of clays and clay products by producers in Illinois for the past six years are shown graphically in figure 10.

a As reported to U. S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statstics. See monthlv reports on "Building Construction for 1944.
Building Construction
Building activity in 1944 was character- ized by a sharp decline in construction by the Federal Government. Only three new projects were listed under this type of con- struction, although each month of the year
showed some activity in additions and ex- tensions. In addition to the sharp decline in federally sponsored construction it is note- worthy that private residential building showed only a slight decline. The month- by-month record is shown in table 54.

SAND AND GRAVEL
Silica sand. — Production of silica sand amounted to 3,331,185 tons valued at $4,642,979 (table 55). This was a decrease in amount of nearly 8 percent under that of 1943, but Illinois continued to hold first place among the states in the production of silica sand for steel molding sand and for glass sand.
Ground silica. — During 1944 the Illinois production of ground silica or, silica flour, made by fine grinding of washed silica sand, amounted to 156,353 tons, valued at the plants at $1,076,785. As shown in table 56 this was a decrease of 10 percent in amount from the previous year.
Tripoli {"amorphous" silica). — Produc- tion of tripoli ("amorphous" silica) in Illi- nois during 1944 amounted to 10,431 tons, valued at the plants at $174,732 as given in table 57. Illinois ranked first among
the states in production of tripoli. This material is used as an abrasive, polish, filler, and for many other purposes.
Other sand and gravel. — Table 58 shows sand (other than silica sand) and gravel, sold or used by producers in Illinois in 1943 and 1944. The total of all sand and gravel produced in 1944 amounted to 11,961,345 tons, valued at the plants at $8,909,951 which was a decrease of 14 percent in amount from 1943.
Commercial and gov ernment-and-contrac- tor operations. — About 650,000 tons, or 5 percent of the sand and gravel produced in Illinois during 1944 came from government- and-contractor operations: The State of Illinois, counties, townships, and municipali- ties produced either by themselves or by contractors expressly for their use.

pIG ii —Annual production and value of sand and gravel and silica sand in Illinois,
1920-1944.
chases by government agencies from com- mercial producers are included in commer- cial operations.
Annual production and value of sand and gravel (including silica sand) in Illinois is shown graphically in figure 11 for each year since 1920. The average value per ton is also given for each year. The large
increase since 1939 is notable. The annual value for 1942, which established an all-time record, was the result of the great increases in the use of silica sand for steel molding sand and the large increases in the use of other sands for various industrial needs. All of these industrial uses were greatly affected by the production of war materials.

FLUORSPAR
Fluorspar Industry in 1944 production
According to the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior, the fluorspar industry in the United States produced and shipped more than 400,000 tons of finished fluorspar in 1944 for the second consecutive year (table 59). Both production and shipment of finished fluor- spar reached new peaks in 1944, when con- sumption for the first time exceeded 400,000 tons.
Production of finished fluorspar from do- mestic ore was 413,781 net tons in 1944 as compared with 406,016 net tons in 1943, or an increase of 2 percent over 1943, which was itself a record year. The output of metallurgical-grade fluorspar was greater than the requirements, and ceramic-grade fluorspar was again adequate for the demand in that field. However, the consumption of acid-grade fluorspar increased so steadily that production was unable to keep pace except by milling some acid-grade Mexican ore which is of substantially higher purity than the domestic milling ore and so lends itself to a much higher recovery. From this Mexican ore, flotation mills in the United States recovered 4,855 tons of con-
centrates in 1944, which were not included in the statistics on production or shipments. In spite of the fact that shipments in Illinois dropped 11 percent from its 1943 record, which reached an all-time high of 198,789 net tons, to 176,259 tons, it not only maintained its rank as the chief pro- ducing state in 1944, but also supplied 43 percent of the total shipments, as shown in table 59. Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Utah established new records in 1944, and Kentucky after declining for two suc- cessive vears showed a slight upward trend in 1944.
CONSUMPTION
According to a recent article in Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, few chem- icals have played such an important role in our war-effort as the little publicized fluo- rine derivatives.1 The rapid advancement in fluorine technology is evidenced by the fact that the output of all fluorine chemi- cals, exclusive of the fluosilicates, was ap- proximately 6,500 tons in 1929, 11,000 tons for 1939, and 53,000 tons for 1944 as shown in table 60.

The total national consumption of fluor- spar in 1944, as shown in table 61, increased to 410,170 net tons over 1943 consumption of 388,885 tons. Production of basic open- hearth and basic electric steels in 1944 showed an increase of 2 percent over 1943, while consumption of fluorspar in steel mills (230,201 tons) dropped 2 percent from the 1943 consumption.
Consumption of both domestic and for- eign fluorspar in 1943 and 1944 is sum- marized by industries and by states in tables 61 and 62 respectively, and con- sumption of domestic fluorspar only is summarized by use in table 63 and by grade of fluorspar and industry in table 64 for the same years. Table 65 shows the comparative consumption by Illinois and by the nation for six years, 1939-1944.
The manufacture of hydrofluoric acid, used in the manufacture of artificial cryolite and aluminum fluoride, high octane gasoline, refrigerating mediums (the freons), insecti- cides, and other chemical products necessary for the successful prosecution of the war, accounted for 32 percent of the total con- sumption of fluorspar in 1944, or 129,553 tons. This was an increase of 3 percent over 1943. See table 61.
Although its entire output is now put into military and essential civilian needs,
anhydrous hydrofluoric acid seems to be mushrooming into increasingly greater im- portance. The largest single use of this acid at present is as a catalyst in the pro- duction of aviation alkylate used in the manufacture of high-octane gasoline. Its advantage over sulphuric acid as a catalyst results from the higher process temperature that can be used and the ease of acid re- covery by distillation. The chief dis- advantage at present is the cost involved and the problem of » corrosion. For these reasons many expect hydrofluoric and sul- phuric acid to start the post-war period on an equal basis as catalysts. Anhydrous hy- drofluoric acid is also used in the production of freons and for secret military purposes. In addition to the use of freons as refriger- ants, they have gained prominence as the propellent in the insecticidal bombs used in the South Pacific. Post-war prospects in both fields are considered promising.
Aqueous hydrofluoric acid is used directly in such processes as pickling stainless steel and in cleaning sand from metal casings, although approximately 90 percent of it goes into the production of fluorine chemicals.
The superiority of the United States in the air is dependent upon aluminum, which in turn must rely upon the two fluorine com- pounds aluminum fluoride and sodium alu-

minum fluoride (or cryolite). Aluminum fluoride is used as the flux in electrolytic re- duction of alumina, and cryolite is the in- dispensable electrolyte in the reduction of alumina. However, unlike aluminum fluo- ride, cryolite has additional uses, a very im- portant one of which is in insect control.
It has been estimated that as much as 7,500 tons will be used in 1945 for this purpose. In an article on "Fluorine Industry Molds a Postwar Career from Wartime Service,"" the author emphasizes the im- portance of fluorine compounds as sand-

agents in the casting of aluminum and mag- nesium. These agents fill the voids in sand molds by volatilizing when heated, thus preventing oxidation of the metal. Roughly 1 to 3 percent by weight, of either ammo- nium fluosilicate or ammonium bifluoride and fluoborate is used in the sand mixture. Lithium fluoride has made aluminum welding practical because it serves as a powerful fluxing agent, is non-hygroscopic and highly insoluble. It is also an in- gredient of phosphorescent pigment for air- plane instrument dials.
Sodium fluoride is used in the production of rimmed steel where heats are sluggish and might result in second-grade ingots. Po- tassium fluoride, bifluoride, and fluoborate have become important as fluxes in silver soldering. Metal fluoborates, of which lead is the best known, are used in electroplating.
Thus the past ten years have shown a striking development in the field of fluorspar derivatives. Although these products have been largely restricted to wartime needs, civilian demands promise to be heavy in the post-war period. Most of the new uses for

fluorspar compounds are useful in peace as they are in war and hence will continue to utilize large tonnages of this mineral. Al- though the steel industry still consumes the greater part of fluorspar, demands from the ceramic industry are increasing so rapidly, as they plan for civilian needs, that there is some concern lest our ore reserves are none too large. However, recent investi- gations made jointly by the United States Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines
show a probable reserve of more than 14,- 000,000 tons containing an average of 45 to 55 percent CaF2 and more than 10,- 000,000 tons of additional material averag- ing 15 to 35 percent CaF2. This looks encouraging in view of the fact that in 1936 our reserves were roughly estimated to be about 5,000,000 tons.
The flotation processes for treating non- metallic minerals have lately become very important because they make it economically

feasible to mine many deposits composed of interlocking fluorspar crystals and other minerals which previously could not he separated. Flotation is now employed gen- erally by most companies, since it is appli- cable not only to material being mined today but also to the recovery of high-grade con- centrates. These concentrates are valuable
in making hydrofluoric acid and ceramic products, and find limited use in making briquets to be used in the manufacture of open-hearth steel.
The glass industry, which ranks third as a consumer of fluorspar, used 27,315 tons in 1944, or an increase of 33 percent over 1943 (table 61). Fluorspar is used in the

manufacture of opal, opaque, and colored glass to be used in such finished commodities as lamp globes, bulbs, soda fountains, con- tainers for food, toilet and medicinal prep- arations, and lavatory fixtures. From 50 to 500 pounds of fluorspar are used per 1000 pounds of sand in the manufacture of glass, depending upon the type of product desired. Substitutes for fluorspar have been tried but offer little competition either because of higher cost or lower efficiency. An even higher grade of fluorspar (60 percent through a 100-mesh screen) is required for the manufacture of vitreous enamel than for opaque or colored glass (55 percent through 100-mesh screen). These com- modities include sinks, bathtubs, stove parts, refrigerators, toilet fixtures, etc., where vit- reous enamel coatings are applied to iron or steel. Similar coatings are also applied to pottery, brick and tile. Since civilian consumption of such products has been so drastically curtailed during the war, it ap- pears that the market for this mineral for enameling purposes wTill show a marked up- ward trend with the close of the war.
Consumption of fluorspar in the United States and Illinois by uses since 1939 is shown graphically in figure 12. Statistics by uses in Illinois are not available before 1942, so for the period 1939-1941 only the total consumption for Illinois can be shown.
Although forty states, reported consump- tion of fluorspar, three states — Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — used 239,584 tons, or 58 percent of the toal consumption (table 62). Pennsylvania displaced Illi- nois as chief consumer in 1944, but Illinois retained its lead as the largest consumer of fluorspar in hydrofluoric acid. Pennsyl- vania led in consumption of fluorspar in both steel and glass manufacture.
Figure 13 shows the average consumption in the United States over a characteristic six-year period, from 1935 to 1940 inclusive, as compared with the 1944 consumption and a similar comparison for the same years as to the source of the fluorspar used. Since statistics for imports during 1944 cannot be made public they have been included w^ith "Other states" for that year.

Fluorspar in Illinois
Although the mining of fluorspar in Illi- nois dropped 11 percent in 1944, Illinois still maintained its rank as chief producing state in the nation and made 43 percent of the total shipments of fluorspar.
Shipments of fluorspar from the mines in Illinois are given for 1943 and 1944 in table 66 by kinds and uses. The manufac- ture of hydrofluoric acid was the high con- sumer of fluorspar for the first time in 1944, with the steel industry running a close sec- ond. An interesing note in the fluorspar industry for 1944 is the rapid increase in the use of fluorspar in Illinois in the manu- facture of glass and enamel. As shown in table 66, this industry used 108 percent more fluorspar in 1944 than in 1943, or an increase from 6,741 tons to 14,058 tons in 1944. Although still a small item in total consumption of fluorspar in Illinois, the rapid increase is noteworthy.
Annual shipments and average value of fluorspar from Illinois since 1913 are pre- sented graphically in figure 14, showing the effect of two world wars on this industry.
Shipments of fluorspar from Illinois mines from 1939 to 1944 are shown in table 67. The value in dollars of the fluorspar shipped from mines in Illinois in 1944 was $5,- 954,991, compared with $6,292,789 in 1943.
Some months before the entry into the war it was realized that the fluorspar de- posits of Illinois were to play an increasingly important part in national affairs. Recog- nizing the desirability of increasing and bringing up to date knowledge of the fluor- spar producing district in Illinois, a general
survey was begun by the Illinois State Geological Survey of the mines and pros- pects of the district, noting location and principal features of each, as well as a re- vision of the geologic map of that section. This study has resulted in the accumulation of a sizable body of additional geologic knowledge of the fluorspar district. When this knowledge is made generally available to the public it will constitute a valuable compilation of geologic data and an accurate record of the character of the ore bodies in the various mines for future use. In years to come prospective mine operators or in- vestors will have more than local, and pos- sibly biased, reports on which to base their decisions, and in case of another national emergency the data now on hand may be of considerable time-and-money saving value.
PRICES
Present prices remain unchanged from 1943 at $37 per ton for acid and ceramic grade spar and $30-$33 per ton for metal- lurgical spar. Prices for metallurgical spar vary according to the "effective CaF2 con- tent." The average price per ton for Illi- nois spar in 1944 was $33.79, an increase of $2.13 over the preceding year. This in- crease probably reflects an increase in the proportion of ceramic grade and of the better grades of metallurgical spar produced and shipped. Current prices are to be compared with the 1940 average of $25.36 per ton for acid spar and $18.42 for metallurgical spar. The increased prices have been al- lowed by Office of Price Administration to permit wage increases and as an incentive to increased production.
MISCELLANEOUS MIXERJLS

ZINC AND LEAD
The Wisconsin-Northern Illinois region was the only important Central States zinc- producing region in which output of both crude ore and recoverable metals increased in 1944.
The zinc and lead ore and concentrates produced in northern Illinois in 1943 and 1944 were shipped to the custom flotation mill of the Vinegar Hill Zinc Company at Cuba Citv, Wisconsin.
In southern Illinois the bulk of the output of zinc and lead came from zinc-lead-fluor- spar mines near Cave in Rock, Hardin County.
Illinois production of zinc and lead re- covered from ores mined in Illinois during 1944 was valued at $2,004,600, as shown in table 68.
MISCELLANEOUS MINERALS
Included in this group are several mineral materials produced in Illinois by less than three producers for each material, so that details of production cannot be published without revealing individual operations. These materials are:
Peat, produced in northern Mason County for mixed fertilizer and other purposes. Illinois ranks first among the states in the production of peat.
Pyrites (coal brasses), produced in Henry County from coal-cleaning operations.
Sulfur, as elemental sulfur is recovered as a byproduct in the liquid purification of manufactured gas.
The total amount and value of these min- eral materials just described, which were
produced in Illinois during the past three years, are given in table 69. The total value for 1944 amounted to $107,400.

MINERALS PROCESSED, BUT NOT MINED, IN ILLINOIS
Included in this group are mineral materials which are processed in Illinois but are mined in other states. Production of these materials in Illinois during the past three years is given in table 70, as far as the data are available.
Coke and byproducts. — All coke pro- duced in Illinois is made in byproduct ovens, most of it from coal mined in the eastern bituminous fields. Coke produced from Illinois coal is not differentiated from the other, so table 70 gives the entire amount of coke made in Illinois. Details of coke manufacture are given in this report in the section on "Coke and Bvproducts." (see p. 44)
Packaged fuel. — This material is proc- essed in Illinois from the fines that result from the storage and handling of eastern coal. Details are given in the section on "Fuel Briquets and Packaged Fuel" (see p. 41). Data cannot be published on the production of fuel briquets in Illinois with- out revealing individual operations.
Pig iron. — This basic product in the steel industry is produced in Illinois from iron ore mined in the Lake Superior district and shipped in by water.
Sulfuric acid. — This material is produced in Illinois as a byproduct of the smelting of zinc ores and is also produced from sulfur at zinc plants.
Slab zinc. — This basic product in the zinc industry is produced in Illinois from ores mined in Illinois and from ores mined in other states. Zinc recovered from Illinois ores is included in table 68. That recovered from out-of-state ores is included in "Total processed" in table 70.
Ground feldspar is made in Illinois from crude feldspar which is mined in South Da- kota. It is used in the manufacture of white ware and enamels and for other pur- poses. Data cannot be published on feld- spar grinding in Illinois without revealing individual operations, but are included in "Miscellaneous minerals processed," table 70.
Magnesium compounds are processed in Illinois from out-of-state dolomite. Data on these are included in "Miscellaneous minerals processed," table 70, to avoid re- vealing individual operations.
Mineral pigments are produced in Illinois from crude mineral earth pigments from various sources. Data on these are in- cluded in "Miscellaneous minerals proc- essed," table 70.
Pig lead is made in Illinois by smelting lead ores ; that obtained from ores mined in Illinois is given in table 68. Data on pig lead produced in Illinois from ores mined in other states are not available.
Expanded vermiculite is produced in Illi- nois by heat-treating crude vermiculite which is mined in the West. Production figures are not available.
Alumina, phosphates, and other processed mineral materials are produced in Illinois in large amounts, but data for them are not available.
The total 1944 value of mineral materi- als which were processed in Illinois but mined in other states, as given in table 70, amounted to $202,357,378.
The values of pig lead, expanded vermic- ulite, alumina, phosphates, and other min- eral materials, if known, would greatly in- crease the total given in table 70.
