Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey to the Secretary of the Interior, 1899-1900, Vol. 6 of 7: Mineral Resources of the United States, 1899, Metallic Products, Coal, and Coke The arrangement and scope of this volume are practically the same as in the fifteen volumes of the series, Mineral Resources of the United States, which have preceded it. The object of the volume is to record the developments in the mineral industries of the United States since the last report. The reports should be consulted together. Every chapter treated in this report is a census of the productive fea tures of the industry as complete as possible with the means at disposal. The statistics of the production of gold and silver, as usual, are the work of the Director of the Mint, Treasury Department and are accepted as official. The statistics of the. Imports and exports of minerals, which form an essential part of the volume, are obtained through the courtesv of the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, Treasury Department. The totals given below will be found to differ somewhat from those published on the chart showing the mineral products of the United States from 1890 to 1899. This is caused by the receipt of revised figures from special agents in charge of the statistics of some of the more important minerals.
