THE BAUXITE DEPOSITS OF ARKANSAS 285 



a ton. The question for owners and miners is whether the 

 market price will leave them a resonable margin of profit. The 

 cost of plants for the utilization of bauxite is so great, and the 

 local market for manufactured products so small, that, in my 

 opinion, it is useless to think of factories being established in 

 Arkansas. The factories are all in the north, ^ and the probabil- 

 ities are that they will remain there for some years at least. In 

 the meantime, if the bauxite beds are to be utilized, the material 

 must be mined and transported cheaply. Labor and teaming 

 are low, but railway freights are high at present. This neces- 

 sarily prevents Arkansas' competition with the Georgia and 

 Alabama deposits. It is to be hoped that the railways may see 

 their way to offering rates that will allow of bauxite mining in 

 Arkansas.
