Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Director of the Mint Upon the Production of the Precious Metals in the United States During the Calendar Year 1901 The total product of the precious metals reported by mint officers and agents in the foregoing table somewhat exceeds either of the above calculations of this Bureau, the difference between this total and the lower of the two estimates being per cent for gold and per cent for silver. A difference between the two sets of figures is naturally to be expected, inasmuch as they do not relate to the same thing, the figures reported by mint officers and agents representing the estimated fine contents of the ore, whereas the estimates of this Bureau deal with the finished product only. That the calculations of this Bureau, nevertheless, approximate very closely the results Obtained from the mines by mint Officers and agents in'the several States and Territories vouches for the practical accuracy of the estimates.
