Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Mineral Statistics of the State of Michigan, for 1881 Prof. Lawton has visited all of the copper, iron, and coal mines, gypsum and slate quarries in the State that are working, and has also examined and described many other localities were mines are being opened, and to which public interest is directed. Sectional maps of many of the copper mines are included in the report, and have been marked up to J annary lst, 1882. The statistical tables will be found at the close of this volume. To them has been added a table showing the production of gypsum in the State for previous years down to the close of 1881, and also will be found a valuable table prepared by Dr. S. S. Garrigues, State Salt Inspector, showing, in like manner, the salt production of the State. The table showing the coal produc tion has been made more complete than heretofore. I have reported to the Auditor General of the State the amount of copper, iron ore, and coal, subject to a specific tax, produced by each mining com pan y. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, chas. E. Wright, Commissioner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
