The general opinion has been that the phosphates of South Carolina 

 are practically exhausted. This is far from being the case. There 

 are thousands of acres of rich phosphate land still practically un- 

 touched. Although the phosphate on much of this propertjf is 

 covered by a heavy < > verburden, more efficient mining methods and 

 improved market and transportation conditions would render it all 

 available.
