  PREFACE 
  

  

  With 
  the 
  present 
  issue 
  the 
  annual 
  reviews 
  of 
  the 
  mining 
  and 
  

   quarry 
  industries 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  encompass 
  a 
  period 
  of 
  four 
  years, 
  

   the 
  first 
  having 
  been 
  published 
  in 
  1905. 
  The 
  incentive 
  for 
  their 
  

   continuance 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  general 
  interest 
  which 
  attaches 
  to 
  

   this 
  branch 
  of 
  industrial 
  activity, 
  as 
  illustrated 
  by 
  the 
  number 
  

   of 
  requests 
  received 
  for 
  information 
  relating 
  to 
  all 
  phases 
  of 
  the 
  

   subject 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  by 
  the 
  rapid 
  progress 
  that 
  is 
  being 
  made 
  in 
  

   the 
  industries 
  themselves. 
  

  

  The 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  reports 
  is 
  rendered 
  possible 
  only 
  

   through 
  the 
  cooperation 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  enterprises 
  engaged 
  in 
  

   exploitation 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  resources 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  pleasure 
  to 
  acknowl- 
  

   edge 
  the 
  cordial 
  manner 
  with 
  which 
  their 
  assistance 
  has 
  been 
  

   given.
