The output in 1912, as reported by all the mines that made ship- 
ments during the year, was 1,057,702 long tons, valued at $3,349,005. 
Compared with the total for the preceding year, there was a gain 
of 105,338 tons, or about Io per cent, as against a decline of 206,703 
tons in 1911. The value of the ore averaged $3.17 a. ton, as against 
$3.34 for 1911; the falling off indicated by these figures was not 
solely a market decline, but was due in part to the large proportion 
of hematite shipped during the past year. 
Of the output, magnetite constituted a total of 954,320 long tons 
and represented a value of $3,148,756. The quantity of hematite 
mined was 103,382 long tons, all from the Clinton belt, with a value 
of $200,339. There were no shipments of limonite ore from south- 
eastern New York and none of carbonate, although these were 
actively mined a few years ago. 
The output of magnetite was made up largely of concentrates, 
some of the mines in the Adirondacks shipping all their product in 
that form. A ton of concentrates, which on the average contains 
about 65 per cent iron, represents all the way from a little over 
one to three tons of crude ore. The actual amount of magnetite 
raised from the mines during the year was 1,174;295 long tons; 
and the total quantity of ore of all kinds hoisted was 1,277,677. 
In 1911 the total quantity hoisted was 1,258,873 tons.
