Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineral Production in Illinois in 1963 The value of fuels produced in Illinois during 19 63 amounted to about percent of the value of all minerals. A decrease in the total value of these fuels coal and crude oil and associated products - as compared to the 19 62 value, amounted to about million dollars. The decline in the value of oil, with associated pro ducts, was equal to the entire decrease of 16 million dollars in the state's overall mineral value for 1963. The value of coal produced in 1963, on the other hand, showed an increase of almost 10 million dollars over the 19 62 coal value. Stone products produced in Illinois include crushed stone, cement, and lime and make up the second most important group of minerals produced in this state. As a group, these commodities contributed percent of the 19 63 total value. The tonnage and total value of crushed stone reported produced by commercial operators during 1963 showed somewhat of a decline from the amounts reported for 19 62. Shipments of Portland and masonry cements were up slightly in 1963 as compared to 1962. The value of lime produced in Illinois in 1963 registered a' percent in crease over the 1962 value.
