The arrival Of the United States man-of-War

GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS
The Mineral Product.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The United States
geological survey has issued statistics of the
production Of minerals during 1885 It Ap
pears that the total value of mineral products,
taken as nearly as possible ct the points Of pro
duction, was more than 1856, 100000, the larg
est mineral production yet recorded IN any
country. In 1885 the value was about s425,.
600, 900. Many substances shared in this in
crease, but particularly iron and steel, which
alone showed an increase Of s3c, 100000. In
1885, bituminous coal was the most valuable
mineral product, but in 1885 it was pas sed by
pig iron, which had higher total value than
silver and gold combined. Wonderful pro.
gress is shown in the use of natural gas, the
consumption being more than double that Of
1885, and twenty times that of 1888. 1t is es.
timated that the value Of coal displaced by
natural gas in 1856 was more than q, 800, 900.
This is slightly less than half the value Of pc.
troleum.
