The figures for 1880 and 1890 are taken from the reports of the 

 United States census; from 1891 to 1903 they are extracted from 

 the annual volumes of the Mineral Resources. 



It v.dll be noted that the output in the last few years has shown 

 an expanding tendency and is now practically on a parity with th 

 production during the earlier period when most of the ore was 

 smelted locally instead of being shipped to Pennsylvania furnaces 

 The value of the product in 19 14-18 amounted to over $21,000,000. 

 and the total of $7,381,333 reported for 19 17 exceeded that of any 

 previous year. The prices received for ores during this period wer 

 above the average on account of war conditions.
