centrates carrying approximately 65 per cent iron. The 306,869 

 tons of lump magnetite averaged about 60 per cent. The hematite 

 and limonite may be estimated at about 45 per cent iron. 



The magnetite concentrates were made from 715,203 tons of crude 

 ore. Using that figure as a basis for calculation, the total quantity 

 of ore hoisted from New York mines in 1905 was 1.109,385 long 

 tons. 



The magnetite was derived from the Adirondack's, none of the 

 mines in southeastern New York being active. The producers in- 

 cluded YYitherbee. Sherman & Co. and the Port Henry Iron ( )re Co.,

at Mineville; the Arnold Mining Co., at Arnold, and the Delaware 

 & Hudson Co., at Lyon Mountain. In addition the Salisbury Steel 

 & Iron Co. made a small output in connection with the development 

 of their mine at Salisbury. 



The hematite came from two mines in St Lawrence county 

 operated by the Old Sterling Iron Co. and the Rossie Iron Ore Co., 

 and from two mines in the Clinton formation worked by C. A. 

 Borst and' the Furnaceville Iron Co. The single producer of 

 limonite was the Amenia Mining Co.. in Dutchess county. 



The Saranac Iron Mining Co. was engaged during the year in 

 prospecting for ore in the Adirondack region. It is reported that 

 plans have been considered for reopening the llenson mines in St 

 Lawrence county. The Fair Haven Iron Co. has been incorporated 

 recently for the purpose of mining ore at Fair I faven, Cavuga co.
