A preliminary estimate by the Director of the Mint places the production of silver in the United States during 1904 at $58,608,0Q0 fine ounces. .Waldemar Lindgren, of the United States Geological Survey, has written a paper $n which he shows the approximate distribution of this product among the different classes of ore deposits. The different classes of ore to which the production can be trac ed are as follows: Silver derived from placers ; silver derived from dry or quartzose ores silver de rived from copper ores ; and silver derived from from lead ores.
