Furnace flux. The metallurgical industries of the State are 

 consumers of limestone which is employed as a flux in smelting 

 operations. The largest users are the iron blast furnaces located 

 in Buffalo and vicinity. The supply for this district is obtained 

 from the Onondaga limestone in western New York and in the 

 adjacent part of the province of Ontario. The principal New York 

 quarries are located at Clarence and Gunnville, Erie co. and at 

 North Leroy, Genesee co. The total production in 1905 amounted 

 to 393,667 long tons, valued at $198,168. In the preceding year, 

 the amount was 220,198 long tons, valued at $121,109. A quarry 

 has been opened near Gouverneur, St Lawrence co., for the purpose 

 of supplying furnace flux.
