Limestone products represent 46.92 per cent of the total 

 value of stone products for the year, granite, its nearest com- 

 petitor, representing 25.85 per cent of the total value. In 1911, 

 Indiana, ranking sixth, turned out 413, 655, which represented 

 5.72 per cent of all the stone products of the United States. 

 In 1912, the value of all stone products in Indiana was $5,091,924, 

 or 6.5 per cent of all stone products of the United States. Thus 

 Indiana was raised to fifth place, which rank was formerly held 

 by California. This increase represents a gain of 15.37 per cent 

 for the State. There were 131 plants in operation in 1912. 



Limestone for building purposes, including rough and dressed 

 stone, increased $330,096 from 1911 to 1912. In 1911 Indiana 

 produced 64 per cent of all the limestone used for building pur- 

 poses in the United States; in 1912, 69 per cent. 



The table below gives the quantity and value of the Oolitic 

 limestone produced in Lawrence and Monroe counties each year 

 since 1900. From 1907 to 1912, inclusive, both quantity and 

 value are given under three heads: Lawrence count}^, Monroe 

 county, and the total for both counties.
