THE MINING AND QUARRY INDUSTRY 



OF 



NEW YORK STATE 



REPORT OF OPERATIONS AND PRODUCTION DURING 1907 



BY 



D. H. NEWLAND 



PREFACE 



With the present issue the annual reviews of the mining and 

 quarry industries of the State encompass a period of four years, 

 the first having been published in 1905. The incentive for their 

 continuance is found in the general interest which attaches to 

 this branch of industrial activity, as illustrated by the number 

 of requests received for information relating to all phases of the 

 subject as well as by the rapid progress that is being made in 

 the industries themselves. 



The publication of the reports is rendered possible only 

 through the cooperation of the many enterprises engaged in 

 exploitation of the local resources; it is a pleasure to acknowl- 

 edge the cordial manner with which their assistance has been 

 given.
