Size and Value of this Company’s Deposits
After passing through the surface covering or “over-burden” of dirt and gravel
to a thickness of from four to ten feet the surface of the Fullers Earth deposit is
found on the entire tract of three hundred and nine acres wherever the test holes
have been made.
The thickness of the deposit is unknown at this date however tests have been
made which extended fifty feet into the deposit and did not pass through and there
were no indications of a change in the formation. Final tests will be made later
to ascertain the full depth to which the deposit extends when the proper equip-
ment can be obtained.
Calculations based on the above tests and allowing 61 pounds per cubic foot
(Department of Interior weight of Texas Fullers Earth Bulletin 71) would show
this deposit to be over 20000000 tons and it will in all probability far exceed
these figures when its full depth is ascertained
GOVERNMENT
GENERAL CONDITIONS
There was remarkable activity in the fullers earth industry in 1918. Domestic
fullers earth is used chiefly in refining petroleum and as a result of the increase
in the production of petroleum the quantity and average price per ton of fuller's
earth sold in 1918 were by far the largest ever recorded by the United States
Geological Survey the increase in quantity being 11901 short tons or 10 per cent
and in value $374267 or 48 per cent compared with 1917. Although the demand
was good the conditions of labor fuel and transportation tended to restrict the
output
The growth of the industry in the last ten years and the production in 1917
and 1918 by groups of States are shown in the following tables. The rapid growth
of the industry since 1912 is most gratifying. The amount in 1918 was more than
double and the value more than treble that of 1912. The output in 1918 was 12 times
as great and the value 28 times as great as in 1895 the first year of commercial
production in the United States. The lowest average price per ton ($5.72) was
in 1904; the highest ($13.57) was in 1918; and it was $2.93 higher than in 1917.

DEFINITION.
Fullers Earth is a variety of clay which has a high capacity for absorbing oil
and grease and also for absorbing organic and mineral bases including basic
coloring mtter from solution in animal vegetable or mineral oils as well as from
other liquids especially water. It is of commercial value when its absorptive power
is strong and the balance between its other desirable and undesirable properties is
such as to enable it to compete actively with other earths already accepted as of
standard quality for refining oils.
Government reports on the price obtained for Fullers Earth in 1918 was $13.57
per ton. The report for 1919 is not yet ready for distribution but the market
price is now from $lB.OO to $25.00 per ton according to the investigation that has
been made relative to prices this year. Should the ultimate sale of this entire
deposit be consummated in the coming years and a profit not exceeding $lO.OO per
ton made the final result would be over $200000000.00 profit.

other earths* showing that Fullers Earth specially when administered with tartaric
acid or solium hydrogen phospate as an antidotal value in morphine cocaine and
ipecac poisoning and less value in strychnine and aconitine poisoning.
The most extensive uses for Fullers Earth is for bleaching edible oils cottonseed

there is a tremendous production in Texas Oklahoma. Kansas and Louisiana and
in easy shipping distance fram the Fullers Earth deposits of this Company located
as they are fourteen miles from San Antonio in Bexar County Texas.
The buyers of Texas Fullers Earth Company stock are setting in
the scramble to get into a company that offers the very next thing
to a big guarantee. There is every reason to believe the stock will go
above par immediately. You’d better buy it while you can get it at
$l.OO a share. /
Your Last Opportunity to Buy Stock at Par —Get in While the Getting is Good
The mineral advisers of the United States Shipping Board studied closely
throughout the war the adequacy of available supplies of fuller’s earth to meet war
demands. On their recommendation the following regulations were issued by tha
War Trade Board April 22 1918:
No import licenses for shipments made after May 13 1918 will be granted
for fullers earth except for shipments coming (a> overland or by lake from Canada;
(b* overland from Mexico; tc> as return cargo from European countries and then
only when shipped from a convenient port and when loaded without undue delay.
On January 1 1919 practically all restrictions on the imports of fullers earth
were removed by the following order:
On and after January 1 1919 licenses may be issued when the application
therefor are otherwise in order for the importation of fullers earth from any
primary or overseas market.
A complete embargo on imports of fuller's earth was not recommended because
it was believed that the domestic output available for rofining edible oils was not
sufficient to meet the demand and that it could not be made sufficient in the imme-
diate future. The Shipping Board’s inquiries also brought out the interesting in-
formation. that only domestic fullers earth is used for the refining of mineral oils.
There appears on the other hand to be a difference of opinion as to the suitability
of the domestic earth for use in ref-ping edible oils. Some of th» larger users of
fullers earth anticipating a shortage o. imported material began early in the war
to experiment with domestic earths in refining edible oils and fats with result
so satisfactory that they became independent of imported earth.
Taken from the Bulletin of the University of Texas Number 44.
The clays of Texas of real economic value include Fullers Earth used in th
refining oil Petroleum and for the decolorizing of oils either mineral vegetabla
or animal.
Mining Manufacturing and Transportation
In mining Fullers Earth the “over-burden” is removed by the same method used
in digging a "water-tank” or pond when the bed is uncovered it is simply plowed
up with common farm plows or steam shovel and loaded on cars tramway or wagons
and transported to the factory where it is dried by a heating process then ground
to various sizes sacked and shipped to consumers.
The deposits of this company are located within four miles of the Southern
Pacific Railroad and cost of transportation by wagon from the mine does not exceed
$1.50 per ton and the average royalty 50c per ton making the net cost not in-
cluding overhead expense approximately $2.00 per ton for mining royalty and trans-
portation to point of shipment.
