803The Mineral Industry of Vermont 
 
By Harold F. York1 
 
 
 The value of mineral production in Vermont in 1967 was $27.3 million, 5
percent greater than in 1966 and only slightly less than the record year
of 1965. Stone, the principal commodity produced, 
increased in both quantity and value as did sand and gravel, talc, and lime,
in order of decreasing importance. Clay and peat declined in both output
and value.
