L. Busch The Illinois State Geological Survey has issued for many years a report summarizing the annual mineral production of Illinois. Since most of these reports are now out of print the following pages present in concise, tabular form figures from the reports showing the amounts and values of minerals produced in Illinois for a 20-year period, 19^1-1960. During this period the total annual value of Illinois minerals reported produced has grown from about 333 million dollars in 19^1 to more than 600 mil- lion dollars for each of the five years, 1956-19&0. A broad variety of mineral commodities is included in the Illinois mineral industry and the production records of these various minerals are tabulated in the accompanying tables. Total quantity figures and total value figures are useful for following the pro- duction performance of mineral commodities. For comparing the increase or decrease of each mineral commodity's percentage of the total value of all mineral production in Illinois, the table on page 8 shows the percentage of state total value contributed by the various segments of the Illinois mineral industry. In order to show these percentage values graphically the chart on page 9 illustrates the comparative amounts of value contributed by each commodity group of the Illinois mineral industry to the state total value, 1S&1-1960. COMMODITY GROUPS Fuels. - The value of the fuels— coal, crude oil and associated prod- ucts— prc-.uced in Illinois in i960 was about 68 percent of the total value of all minerals, compared to a hi^h of 83 percent in 19*4-1. The annual value of coal produced in Illinois furnishes a substantial portion of the total value of all minerals produced in this state. In l^hk and - 2 - 19^5 coal contributed about 50 percent of the state's total mineral value and averaged about 30 percent during 195^-1960. Crude oil and its associated products— natural gas, natural gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gases— supplied about 53 percent of the Illinois total mineral value in 19^1> but in i960 this value declined to about 38 percent. The oil pro- duction figures on page k are for crude oil only, while figures for the value of natural gas, natural gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gases are combined in the total under "Other commodities." However, crude oil and it6 associated products were combined for figuring their percentage contribution to the state's total mineral value, 19UI-I96O. Stone products . - The second largest group of Illinois minerals in terms of total value is stone products, which includes crushed stone, cement, and lime. Production figures for these commodities are given on page 5» Since 19^1> when the combined value of these three commodities produced about 6.5 percent of the Illinois total mineral value, the stone products group has grown in value and in i960 furnished about 15 percent of the state's total mineral value. Clay products .- The value of clay products in Illinois, as a percentage of the state total mineral value, has maintained a very even record of production over the years. Although the clay products industry supplied only about h.J per- cent of Illinois total mineral value in 19^> the industry has contributed about nine percent or more of the state's total mineral value for many of the years 19^1-1960. The value figures given on page 6 are for clay products only. The value of minor amounts of clay as such, for years when it was produced and sold, is grouped with "Other commodities" value. However, the value of these minor amounts of clay are included in the major category of clay and clay products to determine the percentage of value contributed by this group to the state total mineral value, 19*+1 through i960. - 3 - Sand and gravel . - On page 6 of this report separate production figures for common sand and common gravel for the years 19^1-1960 are recorded. The value of silica sand, natural bonded molding sand, and ground siliceous materials is given under the heading "Special sands." For purposes of calculating the percent- age of total state value produced by this segment of the Illinois mineral industry, all sand and gravel values have been combined for each year, 19^1 through i960. Fluorspar and metals . - The fluorspar and metals industries in Illinois, although old and well known, supply relatively small amounts of value to the state's annual total mineral value. The annual production figures for fluorspar, zinc, and lead, 19*+1-1960, are shown on page 7. Production figures for silver are recorded on page 8 for the same period. Fluorspar and metal values were combined to determine their percentage of the Illinois total annual mineral value for the years 19*+1 through i960. Other commodities . - The figures shown under the heading "Other commodi- ties" are the values of minor amounts of miscellaneous minerals whose production could not be recorded or combined with any of the major mineral commodities tabu- lated on the following pages. The miscellaneous minerals combined under this category include such items as raw clay, rock wool, natural gas, natural gasoline, liquefied petroleum gases, lime, and other very minor products. During the period 19^1-1960 not all of the above-named commodities contributed every year to this miscellaneous grouping. However, when the percentage contribution made by each of the six major mineral groups to the Illinois annual total value was figured, the values of the several miscellaneous minerals were allocated to one of these major groups.
