  PREFACE 
  

  

  This 
  report 
  deals 
  briefly 
  with' 
  the 
  current 
  disccvcries, 
  develop- 
  

   ments 
  and 
  production 
  of 
  mineral 
  materials 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  State 
  arc! 
  

   follows 
  the 
  general 
  plan 
  of 
  the 
  preceding 
  issues 
  published 
  each 
  year 
  

   since 
  1904. 
  The 
  main 
  purpose 
  of 
  its 
  preparation 
  is 
  that 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   of 
  service 
  to 
  those 
  engaged 
  in 
  exploitation 
  of 
  our 
  resources, 
  cr 
  

   otherwise 
  interested 
  in 
  them. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  proper 
  to 
  mention 
  that 
  the 
  statistics 
  of 
  production 
  relating 
  

   to 
  the 
  year 
  1908 
  have 
  been 
  collected 
  and 
  partially 
  compiled 
  in 
  ccllab- 
  

   oration 
  with 
  the 
  Division 
  of 
  ^lineral 
  Resources 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  

   Geological 
  Survey, 
  to 
  whom 
  credit 
  is 
  accordingly 
  due 
  for 
  share 
  in 
  

   so 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  work. 
  The 
  descriptive 
  text 
  and 
  notes, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  

   treatnient 
  of 
  the 
  statistics 
  themselves, 
  however, 
  are 
  independent 
  of 
  

   such 
  cooperation. 
  

  

  The 
  author 
  desires 
  to 
  express 
  grateful 
  recognition 
  of 
  the 
  

   assistance 
  given- 
  by 
  the 
  mining 
  and 
  quarry 
  enterprises 
  of 
  the 
  State, 
  

   numbering 
  nearly 
  2000 
  in 
  all, 
  which 
  have 
  cordially 
  responded 
  to 
  the 
  

   requests 
  for 
  information.
