Production. The commercial production of mineral waters con- 

 stitutes a large and growing industry. The present output of the 

 State, based on returns received for the year 1904, is about 8,000,000 

 gallons annually, on which a nominal valuation of $1,600,000 is 

 placed. The springs of Saratoga county alone reported sales of 

 1,695,936 gallons in that year, representing a total value of $419,364. 

 The canvass of the industry is attended with some difficulty. Many 

 springs are exploited intermittently or on a small scale, and no 

 accurate account is kept by the owners as to the actual sales. A 

 number of springs are also used locally to supply hotels and sana- 

 toriums, so that only an approximate estimate can be secured for 

 their output.
