  The 
  metallurgical 
  industries 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  con- 
  

   sume 
  limestone 
  as 
  a 
  flux 
  in 
  smelting 
  operations. 
  The 
  largest 
  

   users 
  are 
  the 
  iron 
  blast 
  furnaces 
  located 
  in 
  Buffalo 
  and 
  vicinity. 
  

   The 
  supply 
  for 
  this 
  district 
  is 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  outcrop 
  of 
  the 
  

   Onondaga 
  limestone 
  in 
  western 
  New 
  York 
  and 
  the 
  adjacent 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  Ontario. 
  The 
  principal 
  New 
  York 
  quarries 
  are 
  

   located 
  at 
  Clarence 
  and 
  Gunnville, 
  Erie 
  co., 
  and 
  at 
  North 
  Leroy, 
  

   Genesee 
  co. 
  Blast 
  furnace 
  flux 
  for

  West 
  Chazy, 
  Clinton 
  co., 
  and 
  near

  It 
  is 
  also

  co., 
  for 
  

   the 
  furnace 
  at

  The 
  production 
  of 
  

   limestone 
  classed 
  as 
  flux 
  in 
  the 
  returns 
  amounted 
  to 
  563,684
