IRON ORE 



The local iron mines made a good record in 1913. The showing 

 in fact was better than might have been expected from the con- 

 ditions of the ore markets. The inquiry for ores was not so active 

 as in some of the preceding years and developed a declining tendency 

 with the season's advance. Prices, in comparison with the earlier 

 level, were low. 



The actual product of furnace ores was 1,217,899 long tons. This 

 represented a good gain over the total reported for 1912 and has 

 not been exceeded in the recent records. The value of the output 

 was $3,870,841, as compared with $3,349,095 in 1912. 



The magnetite mines produced 1,097,208 long tons with a value 

 of $3,635,670 and the hematite mines 120,691 tons with a value of 

 $235,171. The hematite all came from the Clinton belt. There 

 were no shipments from the mines near Antwerp, nor of limonite 

 and carbonate from southeastern New York.
