Kaolin Deposit Found Near Steeplerock Promising for Lordsburg
A large kaolin deposit near Steeplerock, developed by M. M. Grown of Muscogee Oklahoma and C. E. Morgan of Steeplerock, is 75 feet wide and over 100 feet deep with potential for a china and porcelain factory in Lordsburg. The pure material, used for tableware and electrical insulators, could fetch about forty dollars a ton and mining is easy due to its softness. Stakeholders suggest forming a local company to exploit the resource along a trunk line with ample water and fuel nearby.
