  625The Mineral Industry of Ohio 
By Joseph Krickich' 
 
 
 For the sixth consecutive year, value of mineral production in Ohio increased,
establishing a record high of $498.9 million and exceeding that of 1966 by
$10.8 million. Record high production of bituminous coal and salt offset
declines in portland cement shipments and lime and petroleum production,
resulting in an overall value gain of 2 percent. Production and value of
clays, stone, and sand and gravel remained relatively stable. 
 Mineral production was reported in all of the State's 88 counties except
Clermont and Fulton. Harrison and Belmont Counties, with value of mineral
output of $45.1 million and $43.5 million, respectively, 
-' ore the State's leading mineral-producing areas. Values in excess of $10
million were recorded for 14 other counties.
