The information contained in this circular was gathered by a unit of the WPA State-wide Mineralogical Survey of Texas, a project sponsored by The University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology. The purpose of this survey is to assemble information concerning mineral products and to gather other geological data and make them available to the public. With this information in the hands of the public, it is reasonable to suppose that industries of value to the State may be developed. The following report is based on work done in Llano County by Work Project No. 18047.

A mineral resource survey of Texas, started by the Works Progress Administration, is still being conducted by the Works Projects Administration, with the Bureau of Economic Geology of The University of Texas acting as the sponsor. The purpose of the survey is to assemble information and make it available to the public. The mineral resource survey is helping in the location of mineral products, from some of which it is reasonable to suppose industries of value to the state may be developed. The following report is based on work done in Wichita County by Work Project No.

The production of peat as a general soil conditioner has recently become a potentially valuable small industry for Texas and surely a new one. The credit for realizing the possibilities and need of peat in Texas perhaps should go to Messrs. Joiner, B. P. Atkinson, and Sanquinet, who began production of peat on a small scale near Lexington, Lee County, Texas, in 1940. Since the year of first production, Mr. Atkinson has discovered many hundreds of acres of peat heretofore unnoticed, and several bogs have been leased for commercial production.
