Abstract
In July 1956, the Bureau of Mines and the J. R. Simplot Co. participated in evaluating and beneficiating drill-hole samples from the Bovill, Idaho, clay-silica deposit and in tests of the beneficiated products. The geology, mineralogy, beneficiation, and potential uses of the clay and quartz fractions of the Bovill deposit are described. Test work showed that a filler-grade clay having an apparent spectral reflectance of 78 percent can be made by bleaching, and by removing some of the submicron-size particles. A quartz product suitable for the manufacture of glass containers can also be made.
