This Bauxite Boulder of high quality
aluminum bearing ore was placed March 1943

to World War II. The boulder weighs nearly twenty
tons. It was
brought from the Dulin Bauxite mine near Sweet Home, Pulaski County. The
State of Arkansas is furnishing over 98 percent of all Bauxite mined in the
United States
