MINE PRODUCTION IN 1908.
An advance chapter of the Geological Survey's
1 report on "Mineral resources of the United States,
j calendar year 1908," gives a brief review of the I
caught; gold, silver, copper, lead, and zmc mining indus-
j tries in the Eastern states in 1908, prepared by;
11. D. McCaskcy.
succeeded by| The states considered are Mtine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama aud Tennessee.
The total production reported is $5,152,007, rep-
resenting the output of 105 mines, of which 58 are
gold placers.
The gold produced was valued at $259,143, the
silver at $35,070, an increase of $19,241 in gold and
a decrease of $21,466 in silver from 1907.
The value of the copper mined was $2.624.278,1
as against $4,061,436 in 1907; of lead $3,200. as
against $7,451; and of zinc $2,230,316, as against
$1,364,673.
These states, therefore, show gains in the value
i of the production of gold and zinc and losses in the
| value of the production of silver, copper and lead.

The suit was for an accounting and was begun in
1896.
