  Production. 
  The 
  magnitude 
  of 
  the 
  business 
  carried 
  on 
  in 
  con- 
  

   nection 
  with 
  the 
  production 
  and 
  sale 
  of 
  mineral 
  waters 
  is 
  shown 
  

   by 
  statistics 
  received 
  for 
  the 
  year 
  1908. 
  The 
  number 
  of 
  springs 
  

   reporting 
  sales 
  was 
  48, 
  and 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  water 
  sold 
  was 
  8,007,- 
  

   092 
  gallons 
  valued 
  at 
  $877,648. 
  The 
  value 
  is 
  based 
  on 
  the 
  retail 
  

   prices, 
  but 
  does 
  not 
  include 
  bottles 
  or 
  carriage. 
  The 
  statistics 
  are 
  

   known 
  to 
  be 
  incomplete, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  almost 
  impossible 
  to 
  make 
  a 
  

   thorough 
  canvass 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  many 
  changes 
  that 
  take 
  place 
  in 
  

   the 
  industry 
  from 
  year 
  to 
  year. 
  No 
  account 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  

   water 
  used 
  locally 
  in 
  hotels, 
  sanatoriums 
  etc. 
  The 
  actual 
  value 
  of 
  

   the 
  production 
  was 
  probably 
  not 
  far 
  from 
  $1,000,000. 
  

  

  In 
  addition 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  carbon 
  dioxid 
  from 
  the 
  wells 
  at 
  

   Saratoga 
  Springs 
  should 
  be 
  taken 
  into 
  account. 
  In 
  recent 
  years 
  

   this 
  has 
  amounted 
  to 
  between 
  4,000,000 
  and 
  5,000,000 
  pounds 
  with 
  

   an 
  average 
  value 
  probably 
  of 
  about 
  $300,000. 
  

  

  Business 
  in 
  1908 
  was 
  generally 
  below 
  the 
  normal. 
  The 
  spring 
  

   resorts 
  were 
  especially 
  affected 
  by 
  the 
  financial 
  depression 
  and 
  

   were 
  frequented 
  by 
  greatly 
  reduced 
  numbers. 
  In 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  Sara- 
  

   toga 
  Springs 
  the 
  season 
  was 
  the 
  worst 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  experienced 
  

   in 
  a 
  long 
  time, 
  due 
  to 
  a 
  combination 
  of 
  circumstances, 
  of 
  which 
  

   the 
  dissensions 
  among 
  the 
  proprietors 
  of 
  the 
  springs 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  

   the 
  least 
  influential. 
  The 
  courts 
  were 
  applied 
  to 
  for 
  injunctions 
  

   against 
  the 
  carbon 
  dioxid 
  producers 
  while 
  a 
  law 
  was 
  passed 
  by 
  the 
  

   Legislature 
  prohibiting 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  pumps 
  to 
  increase 
  the 
  flow 
  of 
  

   the 
  springs. 
  A 
  more 
  recent 
  development 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  securing 
  of 
  

   a 
  legislative 
  enactment 
  to 
  bring 
  the 
  springs 
  under 
  State 
  supervision 
  

   by 
  purchase 
  of 
  the 
  land 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  more 
  important 
  wells 
  are 
  

   located.

  following 
  analyses 
  relating 
  to

  springs
