 1 All stone production consisted of limestone, except in Alexander County

or stone production reported from the following counties: Edgar, Edwards,
Franklin, Hamilton, Jasper, Macoupin, Morgan, Perry, Piatt, Richiand, Saline,
Stark, Wayne, and Williamson.

percent for refractory purposes, and the remainder in construction. Of that
portion used for chemical and industrial purposes, 80 percent was used in
metallurgical processes and 13 percent in water purification. About 31 percent
~f the lime was shipped to consumers in Illinois, while 57 percent went to
Indiana. Nearly 780,000 tons of lime was shipped into and within the State.

 
 Perlite.—Crude perlite mined outside the State was expanded by six
companies 
with plants in Champaign, Cook, DeKalb, Lake, and Will Counties. Production
of the expanded product increased nearly 2 percent in quantity and 8 percent
in value. Principal uses included roof insulation, 72 percent; loose fill
insulation, 6 percent; filter aid, 5 percent; building plaster, 3 percent;
and other uses, 14 percent. Three companies with plants in Cook, Kankakee,
and Will Counties had no production in 
1967.
