Mr. Burchard remarks that measured by the capital 

 invested the cement industry is one of the world's three 

 great extractive industries. In capita! employed it appar- 

 ently far outranks the gold-mining industry of the United 

 States, including- Alaska, as well as the copper industry. 

 Only coal and iron stand ahead of it. 



The principal constituent of Portland cement is lime- 

 stone, and Mr. Burchard's report summaries the most 

 important limestone formations in all the states. The 

 greatest of these are found in the eastern half of the 

 United States, where there are enormous limestone de- 

 posits. The report is accompanied by a map showing 

 the distribution of these limestones. The areas they cover 

 comprise many thousands of square miles. The map also 

 shows the location of the operating cement plants in the 

 United States.
