able minerals. Following is an ex-
tract from the report: s
The total value of the production
of gold. silver and lead in South Da-
kota for 1912. as reported from 40 pro-
ductive mines, 10 of which We're
placers, amounted to ss,o19,37o. This
production is the largest ever pro-
duced in any one year, the output be-
ing $229,1S2 above the previous maxi
mum mine yield of $7,79O.1SS, in 1908,
II $46S,612 larger than that of 1911.
The gold output was 3S1,745 fine
ounces. valued at 1891, $40, over 9S
per cent of the total value. The in
crease in gold for the year was 21,S41
fine ounces in quantity and $451, 1876 in
value. The yield of silver also in
creased, from 203,755 to 206,459 fine

The assessor is the most important
