Show A Survey of Pigments and Paint-making Materials In The Western States The United States Bureau of Mines, at its station at Seattle, in cooperation coopera-tion with the College of Mines of the the University of Washington, is making a survey of pigments and paint-making materials in the Western West-ern States. Inasmuch as it is very essential that all possible data be available, in connection with the mineral resources re-sources of Utah, for the use of any individual or company desiring to develop new industries In Utah, the Department of Mining and metallur-Utah metallur-Utah will be very glad to receive samples of ochers and mineral ' pigments pig-ments from any part of the country, which will be submitted to the Bureau Bur-eau of Mines station at Seattle for testing. However, all samples that are sent in for testing should be accompanied ac-companied by as complete geological data as possible, including of course the location of the deposit, its probable prob-able size, accessibility, etc. In the past, red pigment material has been mined in the northwestern part of Piute County and yellow och-er och-er has been mined to some extent near Gunnison, Sanpete County, by the Utah Wall-Tint Company of Salt Lake City. Deposits not at present being worked have been reported in the western part of Cache County near Clarkston and another near Ophir in Tooele County. This is practically prac-tically the extent of the information that the Department of Mining and Metallurgical Research has of pigment pig-ment materials in Utah. There is reason to believe, however, that Utah has many deposits of pigment that are suitable for paint making. However, How-ever, due to the lack of a State Geological Geo-logical Survey, there has been more I or less difficulty involved in getting in touch with concerns who are interested in-terested in these materials. At the Department of Mining and Metallurgical Research of the Uni- versity of Utah is desirous of om-taining om-taining all the information possible in regard to these products, in order to cooperate with the Bureau of Mines in the work which it is now conducting on ochers and mineral pigments at its station at Seattle, is is hope'd that all those who have any knowledge of such deposits in this state will kindly communicate the information to the address given below be-low and, wherever possible, send in samples for examination. All communications com-munications on this subject and all samples sent in should be addressed:' Department of Mining & Metallurgical Metall-urgical Research University of Tt.ah Salt T-ake City, Utah.
