The Production or Minerals.

According to the Engineering and
Mining Journal, tho total value OF the
mineral and metal production OF the
United States for 1889 and 1891 was
us follows: For 1883, s6l5, sl6,8O6; for
1894, s553.2T2.9o2 a decline Of &C.,.
b73.00i, or nine per cent. This great
falling OIL wns due, however. far more
to lower prices than to lessenrd quan.
tity OF tho product. Thus the value
Of coal production declined Inst year
s~l3.TS3,S28, or sevon per cent, while
In quantity it fell off only G,220,01O
short tons, or three and n half per
cent. This small decline i'll tho vol.
umio OF conl produced Is substantially

327,225,7S8 pounds in 1909 TO G3,50i,.
314 pounds in 1894, though in value 1t
declined no less than 81, G30,5OS, or
four and n half per cent. Tho pro.
duction OF gold increased from s35,.
955,000 in 1903 TO s30,7Gl,2 05 III 1891,
but tho commercial value Of the ell.
yer produced declined from si7,3li,.
450 in 1893 to. s3l,a03y53i in 1901, ii
