GREAT VALUE OF MINERALS
PRODUCED IN AMERICA

The value Of all minerals produc-
ed in the United States in 1912,
according to figures Just compiled
by Edward ~. Parker, statistician
of the United States Geological
Survey, reached the record break
ing total of S2,243, 630,326. This
is more than six times the value of
the production in 1882, 80 years
ago. During that period the popu-
lation has not quite doubled. but
per capita output Of the mine has
increased fror $7.27 to S23.47.
During these three decades the
value of some minerals has made
a striking increase. The value of
the pig-iron product, for instance
has increased from LOG to 420 mil
lion dollars; copper from l6 to 206
million dollars: gold from 80 to 90
million dollars: lead from ~ to 81
million dollars; zinc from LAG to
695 million dullars; petroleum
from 81 to l63 million dollar;
natural gas from 2l5 thousand to
81 million dollars; cement from
$500, 900 to $69, 900 900.
Still more striking illustrations
of the growth of the mineral in
dustry in the United States are the
figures showing tHas, while in 1880
the total mineral production in the
United States was valued at $780,
600 900 in 1912 the value Of the
pig iron alone was $420, 000, 900
while the value of the coal produc-
ton for 1912 vas nearly double
the total mineral output Of 50 years
ago. In 1880 the value of the min
cral products was approximately
$1,000, 600 a day, in 1912. it as
over $4,000, 600 a day.-.Exchange.
