In addition to the mere figures of output, we have included descriptions of the uses and characteristics of many of the materials, as well as a brief mention of their occurrences. The compilation of accurate and dependable figures is an extremely difficult undertaking, and the State Mineralogist lakes the opportunity of here expressing his appreciation of the universal co-operation of the producers in making this work possible.
