189The Mineral Industry of Indiana This chapter has been prepared under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior, and the Geological Survey, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, for collecting information on all nonfuel minerals. By James J. Hill' and L. J. Prosser, Jr.2 The value of Indiana's nonfuel mineral production was $291 million in 1978 and $326 million in 1979. Although value surpassed the $300 million mark for the first time in 1979, output declined in all commodities except abrasives, peat, and stone. The following, in decreasing order of value, con- tinued as the State's leading commodities: Portland cement, crushed stone, and sand and gravel. Clays, gypsum, masonry cement, dimension stone, and lime were also produced. Imported materials processed in the State included fluorspar and perlite.
