A Mineral Resources Survey Project was conducted in Wilson County for the purpose of investigating occurrences of high alumina clays. Fifteen WPA laborers, under the supervision of the writer, were employed on the project. Since formations in the county are composed of relatively soft rocks (Gulf Coast Eocene), hand augering with 3-inch post augers was used to good advantage in searching for and outlining clay deposits. None of the several small deposits of kaolin, bentonitic clays, and volcanic ash located during the course of the survey are of any importance from an economic standpoint; however, data collected pertaining to the mode of occurrence of those minerals should prove helpful in subsequent investigations.
