THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF ALASKA 
89 
 
the State Division of Lands and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were the
major producers. The Alaska Department of Highways furnished 61 percent of
the tonnage and 71 percent of the value credited to Government agencies.

 Of total production, 91 percent was used as fill, 8 percent for paving,
and 1 percent for building construction. There was no recorded production
of industrial sand. 
 
 Stone.—Both physical volume and value of stone dropped sharply from
the 1966 results. Physical volume decreased by 43 percent from the 1966 output.
Value was down 33 percent. Unit value was $2.33 per ton compared with $1.98
in 1966. The decrease resulted almost entirely from greatly reduced use of
stone by the two major con- 
sumers in 1966, the Bureau of Public Roads and the Alaska Department of Highways.

 Commercial producers accounted for 1 percent of volume and 1 percent of
value compared with 6 and 4 percent respectively in 1966. The Alaska Railroad
was classed as a commercial producer. Railroad figures were included in commercial
production to make stone figures for Alaska comparable with those of the
other States. 
 Among the government-and-contractor producers, the Bureau of Public Roads
was the leader in volume, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was the leader
in value of product. Other important governmentand-contractor producers included
the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Alaska Department
of Highways.
