Oliver Bowles of the U.S. Bureau of Mines wrote this June 1934 information circular as one section of a planned larger report on the asbestos industry. It describes chrysotile and amphibole deposits state by state, including Arizona, Vermont, Georgia, California and Wyoming, with notes on mills, output, fiber quality and uses such as insulation, fireproofing and paint, then surveys foreign deposits led by Canada, Rhodesia, South Africa and the Soviet Union.
