output OF Jne 1Our DIVISIONS OF IHe
states producing industries-mineral,
agricultural, livestock and manufac-
turing-during the ear amounted to
1855, 915, 1863, an increase over the pro-
duction of 1917 of $72,S15,424. Wyo-
ming's mineral output during 1918
amounted to 1924, 095, $50, the states
crops were worth $64.609 ,S19, the i've
stock industry exported products to
the value of s57.21O, 900, and the manu-
featuring output was worth 100000
900.
OF the total value Of the industrial
production, $265, 915 1853, h mineral
industries are credited with AZ per
cent, agricultural with "a per cent,
livestock exports with % per cent and
manufactures with Z per cent.
The value of the mineral output was
1915 per cen greater than in 1917,
that of crops 26.95 per cent greater,
that of livestock exports 2O.20 per cent
greater n that of manufactures 33
per e greater.
Increases Are Shown.
AS compared with 1917, the value of
mineral products increased $44,117,415,
hat of crops s13, 71S, 209, that of live
stock exports s 1904, 800, and that of
manufactures $4,S75, 000.
Wyoming's substantial progress dur
ing the last yea was reflected by the
assessment rolls, as well as by indus
trial production. The assessed valua-
ton for 1918 was s29S, $780, s4, as
against $247, S96, 465' for 1917, an in
creas of $5O,649 ,S19, representing
2o.43 per cent. The increase in popu-
lation during the year was Z per cent,
from $4,000 in 1917 to $4,000 in 1918.
Petroleum Valuable Product.
OF the value of mineral products
output during 1918, $124,095, $50, Pc
troleum accounted for ~s7S,054.750,
representing SO per cent of the value
Of the minera output and 2S per cent
of the value of the whole Industrial
output. The state produced during
the year 1885, 900 barrels of petro-
leum, worth in crude form s24,48S, 500,
and as refinery products $7S,O54, $50,
refining adding $53.566,2 $50 to the
crude value of the production. AS
compared with 1917, petroleum pro-
duction in 1918 increased in volume
4,455, 900 barrels, and in refined value
III ,024,7 $50.
Approximately 200 producing wells
were drilled during 1918, increasing
the number in the state to about ITO.
The average daily production of crude
petroleum increased from $4,000 bar
rels in 1917 to 37,S75 barrels in 1918.

The daily production increased dur
ing 1918 from 80 1000 barrels in Janu-
airy to $4,000 barrels in october, No
vember and December. At his time
the state has refining facilities capa-
BILE of handling the entire production
and engagements now in progress
will within three months give the re-
fineries a capacity of $4,000 barrels
daily. A production of 20, 000. 900 bar
rels of crude petroleum in 1919 is pre-
dicted.
Wyoming's coal mines produced
during 1918 approximately 10,100, 900
tons, an increase over the 1917 pro-
duotion of approximately 1900, 900
tons. The value of the 1918 output
was S37, 900, 900, as compared with

increase of value of output being
greater than that of the increase in
volume of output because of the high
prices fixed by the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministration.

during 1918 we're as follows: Hay,
278.O00 tons; wheat, 2,124,0 900 bushels;

barley 100000 bushels; rye, 10000
bushels. The potato crop fell off
$4,000 bushels in 1918,
