According to statistics collected di-
rectly from the mines by the United
states geological survey. the value OF
the gold produced Ia New Mexico In
1906 WAS S293, 019, a decrease Of S24,-
491 from mat OF 1905. The Mogollon
district in Socorro county and the
Pinos Altos district in Grant county,
are the only important producing re-
gions. Nearly nine-tenths Of the gold
Is derived from siliceous ores, the re-
mainder being placer product and.
subordinately. gold obtained from cop
per ores.
A fair increase Is noted In the silver
product. which Is now 491.127
ounces, most OF II produced by So
zorro and Grant counties
The above statement does not rep
resent completely the product of the
general mining industry In the terri
tory, since there Is a large and in
creasing tonnage OF zinc ores which
are very poor In silver or In which
the silver is not recovered.
