  The 
  growth 
  of 
  the 
  industry 
  suffered 
  only 
  a 
  temporary 
  check, 
  

   and 
  its 
  prosperity 
  in 
  the 
  future 
  seems 
  assured 
  by 
  reason 
  of 
  the 
  

   inexhaustible 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  deposits 
  and 
  their 
  exceptional 
  

   situation 
  with 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  principal 
  markets. 
  Within 
  the 
  last 
  

   10 
  years
