<strong>•</strong>California and Alaska were combined in the<br />
reported production of 1909.<br />
tCensus figures for 1909 production were gathered<br />
in conjunction with the U. S. Geological Survey<br />
and were published in 1910 with the census<br />
returns. The U. S. Geological figures cover the<br />
same period, but show a discrepancy of 1,605,543<br />
tons between the two sets of government statistics,<br />
both supposed to have been collected and compiled<br />
by the same officials.<br />
The Merchants Coal Co. at Boswell, Pa., is spend<br />
ing about $1(10,000 in improvements, which will<br />
increase the output from 2,000 to 3,500 tons daily<br />
and give employment to 300 more men. The improvements<br />
include an enlarged tipple, two dumps<br />
for load coal, new crusher, new fan house, new<br />
haulage engine, an addition to the power plant to<br />
house a new generator and boilers.<br />
IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION<br />
BREAKS THE RECORD.<br />

States broke all previous records in 1910, accord<br />

The value of the iron ore produced in 1910 was<br />
$140,735,607, as against $109,964,903 for 1909, and<br />
that of pig iron was $425,115,235, as against $419,-<br />
175,000 in 1909.<br />
Iron ore was mined in 28 States in 1910. The<br />
following table shows the production of the five<br />
leading States:<br />
Long Tons. Value.<br />
Minnesota 31,966,769 $78,462,560<br />
Michigan 13,303,906 41,393,585<br />
Alabama 4,801,275 6,083,722<br />
New York 1,287,209 3,848,683<br />
Wisconsin 1,149,551 3,610,349<br />
Virginia was sixth in output and Pennsylvania<br />
seventh, each producing less than 1,00(1,000 tons.<br />
In the production of pig iron, however, Penn<br />
sylvania heads the list as usual. The five leading<br />
States in pig iron production were as follows:<br />
Long Tons. Value.<br />
Pennsylvania 11,272,323 $180,695,338<br />
Ohio 5,752,112 88,122,356<br />

Alabama 1,939,147 23,754,551<br />
New York 1,938,407 32,410,165<br />
Michigan and Indiana together ranked sixth,<br />
with a production of a million and a quarter tons<br />
and no other State reached the half million mark.<br />
During 1910, of the 451 ore mines in operation,<br />
191 mines produced over 50,000 long tons each,<br />
the largest quantity produced by a single mine<br />
being 3,190,093 tons, by the Hull-Rust mine, of<br />
the Mesabi range, Minnesota. Nine mines in<br />
Minnesota, besides one group of mines in Michi<br />
gan and one group in Alabama, produced more<br />
than 1,000,000 tons each, the second greatest pro<br />
duction being 1,769,067 long tons by the Red<br />
