MAKGANESB DEPOSITS OF INDIA. 
An account of tte fluctuations in the price of nianganose-ore is also 
given. 
[CHAPTER XXII.] 
Statistics of Production of Manganese-ore in India. 
Detailed figures of production (as far as possible of ore raised and 
not ore railed) are given deposit by deposit, based largely on 
information obtained direct from tlie mine operators. It is only by 
obtaining the figures of output given separately for each deposit 
in this way that one can hope to be able to check the accuracy of 
the information supplied. Hence it is hoped that these figures will 
be taken as superseding those previously issued in the reports of the 
Chief Inspector of Mines in India, and in the Annual Reviews of 
Mineral Production in India. The annual output figures are sum- 
marized in the following table : —

Note ; — In 1907 some 7,000 to 8,000 tons of nian;'anese-ore were mined i 1 Goa. 
Nine of the Indian deposits have yielded over 100,000 tons of 
manganese-ore up till the end of 1907. They are as follows : —
