Description:
asbestos,
and a recent Act of Congress has made it possible to locate,
lease, and mine the asbestos heretofore unavailable, but long
known on Arizona Indian Reservations. These facts
have lately drawn the attention of many people to the mineral, and
the Arizona Bureau of Mines has received a great many inquiries
concerning the physical characteristics of, the market for, and the
situation of known Arizona deposits of asbestos. This bulletin has
been prepared in the hope that it will give the information sought
much more satisfactorily than can be done in letters. No attempt
has been made exhaustively to cover the subjects presented, and it is
admitted that the information contained herein is largely a compilation
rather than a contribution to the known facts about asbestos.
For more complete data relative to the various matters covered by
this bulletin, the reader is referred to the publications listed in the
selected bibliography herein given. 31 p.
