THE FLINT FIRE CLAY DEPOSITS OF NORTH EASTERN KENTUCKY BY A. F. Gbeaves-Walker, Salt Lake City, Utah. Without doubt the most wonderful fire clay deposits of this country, and at the same time the least generally known, are those of northeastern Kentucky. They are not only wonderful on account of the large area they cover, but for their persistency, thickness and general purity. While more or less clay has been shipped out from this district, for manufacture elsewhere, the first plants were developed there a little over 11 years ago, the first important work being done on what is now the property of the Olive Hill Fire Brick Co. near the town of Olive Hill, Ky. The Kentucky Geological Survey has given this clay but slight attention.
