about 27 per cent. It is to be noted in connection with the statistics 

 that they are based for the most part upon materials in crude and 

 first marketable forms, as they are shipped from the mine or quarry, 

 rather than finished products, and consequently represent only a 

 fraction of the total which are contributed annually by the mineral 

 industries in the more general sense. If. such materials as iron 

 and steel, coke, sulphuric acid, carborundum, aluminum, alkali 

 products, artificial graphite, etc., manufactured in the State were 

 included, the total would amount to several times the aggregate 

 returned by the particular industries covered in this report.
