SOME LIMITATIONS OF THE MINING FIELD IN NEW 



YORK STATE 

 With its varied and important mining industry, the State still 

 affords room for new enterprise. The resources of nearly all the 

 useful minerals represented within its boundaries are so abundant as 

 to assure an indefinitely loti^ life for productive operations. 

 Through . advances in technology, improved transportation facilities 

 and the natural growth of markets additional sources of supply are 

 being brought constantly within the zone of economrc development ; 

 in these ways a widening field of industrial opportunity is provided 

 fo(r energy and capital.
