 nnd Mtati^tioi of production since 1880 are «hiiwn in tables following. The value 
 of the annual output luis grown from lens than $:i.',(M>(> in 1880 to ovor $2,573,000 
 in 1908, go that next to coa' thu is now one of the most im|)ortatit of non-nivtallie 
 mineral products, and mipplies n ver.v large proportion of tbo world's demand. A 
 special report on this sid)jeet has been published by this branch, though now 
 unfortunately out of print. A revised edition i». howe^■K>r. in course of prepara-

 PRODUCTION. 
 
 A portion of th<' output is sufReientl.v high grade to bo shipped as crude; tho 
 greater part, however, is crushed and the fibre extracted by special machinery. A 
 uniform system of classification has not yet been adopted b.y the operating com- 
 panies, but for statistical purposes the shipments have been clnssified on a valua- 
 tion basis, the crude being divided into two classes and the mill fibre into three 
 grades ; the short fibred, aabestic, and sand, being separately classified. 
 
 The total shipments in 1908 aggregated 90,773 tons valued at $2,573,335, as 
 compared with shipments in 1907 of 90,4?'; tons valued at $2,.505,042, the ship- 
 ments in 1908 being the largest both in tonnage and value yet recorded. Details 
 are given in Table 1.

 Althoujrh the total tonnajie shippwl in luOS m only 347 tons in exw»» of 
 tho IWVT Hhipmcntfl, it will be seen that the amount of fnulc shipped in 1008, 
 deitpite a hifchor avpraRo prit-e, wan h«s than tlu; 1007 crude ghipmcnte by 981 tons. 
 The Hhre shipments on the othor hand were 5,300 greater in 1908, and brought a 
 higher average return per ton of $1.22. The aiibestic shipments in 1908 were 
 4,07i leM than in 1907. 
 
 In Table 2, following, the proilueti.on of crude a^tbeatos and mill stock since 
 1903 is separately shown. The statistics indicate that 'uring the past six years 
 there has been only a slight increase in the quantity shipped as crude, although 
 the average price has nearly doubled; while on the other hand the shipm.?nt8 of 
 mill stock have i ■oase.l over 12.''> per cont in tho samo time, with an increase of 
 over 60 per cent in :ho average price iier ton fibtnined.
