Excerpt from The Establishment, Purpose, Scope and Methods of the State Geological Survey
The natural resources of any State or nation form the basis of its material advancement, and their development and use measure its wealth and progress. Tennessee is rich in mineral and other resources. Extending from the oldest rocks in the crest of the Appalachians to the newest rocks forming the bottoms of the Mississippi River, there is embraced within its borders a variety and richness of soils, of climate, of rock strata, of zones of ores and other minerals, hardly excelled by any other State in the Union. This is reflected in the fact that to-day she leads every other Southern State, except Alabama, in mineral production; that her mineral production in 1908 was larger than that of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas, all put together; more than twice as large as that of Florida, and nearly twice as large as that of Louisiana, but, on the other hand, only a little more than half, as large as that of Alabama.
And yet, with a few exceptions, she is making relatively little use of many of her resources, as compared with some other States no more favored, except by markets, and to a large degree Tennessee is one of the markets of those other States, rather than supplying her own needs. Thus, with probably as large deposits of clay as Ohio, she produces to-day only about one-twentieth as much value in clay products, and goes to Ohio and other States to supply more or less of her own needs.
