The production and progress of the
mining and metallurgical industries of
the United States for year just closed
are reviewed in the last number of
the Engineer and Mining Journal. Coal,
on which all the other mining indus
tries depend for fuel, is treated frs.
The total production was estimated at
800 5000 short TONS an amount con-
siderably in excess of that brought to
the surface in Great Britain, and for
beyond the quantity mined in any
other country. Nearly the entire
amount was consumed at home, despite
a material growth in exports. The an
thracite coal fields of Pennsylvania
contributed one fifth of the total. There
was greater development of the blum
nous coal deposits of the Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana
and other western states, and the softer
coal entered to a greater extent than
ever before in the market for CONNER
cial and household fuel The produc-
ton and consumption of coal were also
larger than ever before, chiefly because
of the activity in the iron and steel
trades
The review draws attention to the oil
discoveries in California and Texas,
and pronounced the latter tn mos: I'm.
portant since oil was found in Penn
sylvania. The reviewer predicts that
both will have an important bearing on
the manufacturing interest in the
states named and in the southwest.
Ore shipments from the Lake Superb
or region exceed 100000 tons. Elk
port trade in iron and steel showed
material falling off in comparison with
1900 and the home market made up
the deficiency.
Gold production showed an increase
and amounted to between $S2,OOO,OOO
and $S3,OO0,OOO. California, Colorado
and the Black Hills districts were the
heavy gold producers. Silver made no
gain over 1900, and copper fell off
ightly-2,5OO tons. The Lake Supe-
r'Or region, California and Utah.
showed gains in copper, but they did
not make up the shortage elsewhere.
ne IeuulHS Interests drew mucn more
copper for refining from foreign mines
than in any previous year. There was
some decrease in lead, argentiferous
lead falling 10000 tons, and soft lead
increasing 10000. Zinc showed a gain,
with Missouri as the chief gamer. Elk
ports of zinc, however, suffered. Quick
silver and nickel made good progress.
The chemical industries depending
upon native products made satisfactory
progress.
In the nonmetallic minerals, includ-
ing cement and building stone, the
year was very prosperous one. IL
this connection, the review says:
Summing up this data of the year,
we may say briefly that the production
ests of the United States considerably
of the mining and metallurgcal inter
exceeded the enormous total recorded
in 1900, while there is every prospect
that a still further advance will be
made in 1902"

ing. Mr.. Morrison said that the har-
vesting of the crop in this yard would

have the largest acreage In hops of
any firm in this section of the coun-
try. In their two yards they have S12
acres, and employment was this year
given to $50 people in picking the
crop. The harvesting of this large
acreage required just tS days, and in
all that time no trouble occurred be-
tween the management and the pick
ers. Mr.. Morrison says that the
Horsts will this year realize from the
same acreage at least 500 more bales
of even a superior quality of hops than
was harvested from the same yards
last year He says the hops grown by
this firm this year are of the best
quality ever raised any where, and he
states further that the percentage of
increase in the yield of the yards this
year over last year Is without equal.
