  The 
  statistics 
  for 
  the 
  years 
  1891-1903 
  inclusive 
  are 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  annual 
  volumes 
  of 
  

   the 
  Mineral 
  Resources. 
  

  

  The 
  records 
  of 
  new 
  wells 
  for 
  1908 
  as 
  compiled 
  and 
  published 
  

   by 
  the 
  Oil 
  City 
  Derrick 
  show 
  that 
  about 
  450 
  wells 
  were 
  completed 
  

   during 
  the 
  year 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  State. 
  Of 
  the 
  number 
  60 
  were 
  

   " 
  dry 
  " 
  holes 
  and 
  the 
  increment 
  from 
  the 
  new 
  production 
  amounted 
  

   to 
  about 
  750 
  barrels 
  a 
  day. 
  

  

  PYRITE 
  

  

  The 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  Pyrite 
  Co. 
  with 
  mines 
  at 
  Hermon, 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  

   CO. 
  was 
  the 
  only 
  active 
  producer 
  of 
  pyrite 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  year. 
  

   The 
  American 
  mine 
  near 
  Gouverneur 
  was 
  dosed 
  down 
  in 
  1907 
  and, 
  

   though. 
  subsequent 
  exploratory 
  work 
  revealed 
  new 
  supplies 
  of 
  ore, 
  

   there 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  little 
  likelihood 
  of 
  a 
  resumption 
  of 
  operations 
  

   in 
  the 
  near 
  future. 
  The 
  High 
  Falls 
  deposits 
  which 
  were 
  taken 
  

   over 
  on 
  option 
  by 
  the 
  Oliver 
  Alining 
  Co. 
  made 
  a 
  small 
  output 
  in 
  

   the 
  way 
  of 
  experiment, 
  but 
  no 
  regular 
  mining 
  was 
  undertaken. 
  

  

  A 
  brief 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  county 
  deposits 
  was 
  given 
  

   in 
  previous 
  issues 
  of 
  this 
  report. 
  Further 
  details 
  relating 
  to 
  the 
  

   mining 
  and 
  milling 
  of 
  the 
  ores
