of the product was $106,951 as compared with $96,084. Almost 

 the whole quantity was taken from the mine at Graphite, War- 

 ren CO., though many other enterprises have been inaugurated 

 during the few years. 



A somewhat unusual industry not elsewhere represented in 

 this country is that connected with the production of natural 

 carbon dioxid, or carbonic acid gas, as it is generally known. 

 The gas occurs in association with the mineral waters of Sara- 

 toga Springs and its collection and storage for use form an 

 interesting, as well as important, industrial development. About 

 5,000,000 pounds of the gas are sold each year, chiefly to manu- 

 facturers of carbonated w^aters.
