  The 
  total 
  shipments 
  reported 
  by 
  the 
  mines 
  in 
  1907 
  amounted 
  

   to 
  1,018,013 
  long 
  tons, 
  valued 
  at 
  $3,750,493. 
  As 
  compared 
  with 
  

   the 
  preceding 
  year 
  when 
  the 
  shipments 
  were 
  905,367 
  tons 
  valued 
  

   a 
  t 
  $3>393>6o9, 
  there 
  was 
  an 
  increase 
  in 
  output 
  of 
  112,646 
  tons 
  or 
  

   about 
  12 
  per 
  cent. 
  

  

  Classified 
  as 
  to 
  variety 
  the 
  shipments 
  consisted 
  of 
  853,579 
  tons 
  

   of 
  magnetite 
  and 
  164,434 
  tons 
  of 
  hematite. 
  Of 
  the 
  magnetite 
  

   499,895 
  tons 
  were 
  marketed 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  concentrates 
  with 
  an 
  

   approximate 
  content 
  of 
  65 
  per 
  cent 
  iron. 
  The 
  353,684 
  tons 
  of 
  

   lump 
  magnetite 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  total 
  are 
  estimated 
  to 
  average 
  

   60 
  per 
  cent 
  iron. 
  The 
  hematite 
  and 
  limonite 
  range 
  from 
  40 
  to 
  60 
  

   per 
  cent, 
  with 
  an 
  average 
  probably 
  of 
  45 
  per 
  cent. 
  

  

  The 
  499,895 
  tons 
  of 
  magnetite 
  concentrates 
  were 
  made 
  from 
  

   approximately 
  818,467 
  tons 
  of 
  crude 
  ore. 
  The 
  mine 
  output 
  or 
  

   amount 
  of 
  ore 
  hoisted 
  during 
  # 
  i907 
  was 
  thus 
  1,336,585 
  long 
  tons 
  

   which 
  compares 
  with 
  1,154,814 
  long 
  tons 
  in 
  1906 
  and 
  1,109,385 
  

   long 
  tons 
  in 
  1905. 
  Based 
  on 
  the 
  crude 
  ore, 
  the 
  output 
  last 
  year 
  

   was 
  probably 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  that 
  recorded 
  for 
  any 
  previous 
  year 
  in 
  

   New 
  York 
  State.
