Is Used for Chinaware
Most of the kaoli,, is going to 1
Ohio and New Jersey, according
to the manager, where it is used in
making the highest grade china and
tableware, tileir.g, enamels, etc.
Products made from this kaolin are i
aid to equal those made front the
inuch-tulked-of foreign clays. This
day requires the addition of a very
small portion of other clays to be
thoroughly workable.
The clay is remarkably free from ,
foreign substances, and by ' special
process worked out by the company
these M^all portions are entirely
r e moved fro m the clay.
This refuse, consisting largely of
pure silica sand has been tested for
r ad purposes and found to be excellent
for this purpose. It is be- !
ing used locally.
