The output Of coal amounted in 1897 to
1874. 4s3.0O6 tons, OF which 49,537,676 tons
were anthracite and $4,000, 900 tons BIZ
luminous coal. The aggregate value was

age value OF only 30 cents per ton
amounting to $3.50, 100000. The anthra-
cite output declined owing 10 the large

quantity, and was on the whole cheaper
than ever before, though better prices

The United States Is still behind Great
Britain as a coal producer, but is APP

56,1l7,OO0 6ne ounces, against 6S,4SS,Sl
Hne ounces In 1896. In addition 70 this
there was a production Of 39,325,OcO fine
ounces from foreign ores and bullion,
against 33, 3 ,529 fine ounces In 1896,
The decrease in the American production
is accounted for the heavy decline 10 the

The falling of in production would I'M
dOubtedly have been greater had IL not
been for the high price Of lead during a
considerable part Of the year. A very

of the silver production OF the United
states ia now derived from ores In which

II means that possibility for the diversion
