ten per cent. In excess Of the previous
maximum of i7.5is,Ol6 long tons, pro-
duced In 1897, and over one and quar-
ter millions tons above the record for
Great Britain In 1850, when Is,0a5.0ig
long tons were mined. The ores Of
the British isles also average lower
percentage of metal than those ev-
plotted In this country, aud therefore
represent n smaller pig metal product.
The variety OF iron orrs produced
includes red hematite, the output cf
which was so per cent. Of the total,
and brown hemntite. which was i0.s
per cent. of the aggregate product.
Magnetic and carbonate ores make up
