<br />a a vsrl+ important ;actor in the Staters production. The total production as <br />oag+lied by this department for the years_1899 to 1900 iacluaive, is $10,288,682.70, <br />ivided as follows: Golds $6y234y878..13; Silvdry~3y1?6y600.19; Lead, `717,049.94; <br />"" capers ~160yi64.44. <br />- ?'base values are computed at the average market price of each metal for <br />ach year and the totals thus obtained added together. The production for the <br />ear 4900 was: Goidy x`2,82?y352.02; Silver, 698,042.56; Lead, x"158,617.00; <br />- ' -' nary S~5i~384.63; Total, ~2~735,396.21. <br />- The production fez 1901 bids fair to equal or perhaps surpass that of 1900. <br />reduction has, been some*hat restricted on account of some unfortunate differences <br />etween the miners and the mine operators. <br />-- Geologically the Sea Doan mountafns ie eae of the most interesting ~ect- <br />one in the Mate. Taken as a whole the mountain structure is quite complex and fa <br />t as qot .fully determined. The eomparatfvely recant work of the United Staten <br />eologieal Survey in publishing a Geologic Atlas known as the YTelluride rr^olio,° <br />o. 57, or thoMTelluride Quadrangle,! bas done much toward advancing the rnaterial <br />• ! elfare of this section. The able report encompassing this Atlas by C. Whitman <br />- roars Geologist fn chmrgs, has doao araoh to remove existing doubts and conton- <br />. ions brought about by former surveys. The report of Chester Vrella Furiru;ton upon <br />he mfnfrrg industries and economic geology with the Atlas is likewise of groat <br />slue.
