Pike County Gypsum Deposits and Mineral Survey Findings
The WPA Mineral Survey in Pike County maps gypsum deposits, clays, slate, cinnabar, and other minerals across about half the county. Under County Supervisor Arrington Waggoner field teams document streams, roads, and utilities to support county maps. Notable sites include 30 acre gypsum and 140 acre red clay gravel deposits near Murfreesboro, and kaolin quarries east of town. The study warns of groundwater depletion and urges conservation while noting a Portland cement delayed use from DV. Lewis mine and ongoing surveying by the State Geological Survey for bulletin publication.

Second, broad policy steps to restore certainty in long term outlook and money conditions. The piece urges immediate action across sectors, noting delays since 1933 and 1940 were missed opportunities.
