Report Of The Director Of The Mint Upon The Production Of The Precious Metals In The United States During The Calendar Year 1883

Excerpt from Report of the Director of the Mint Upon the Production of the Precious Metals in the United States During the Calendar Year 1883 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith my report upon the pro duction of gold and silver in the United States during the calendar year 1883. The information obtained from the officers and records of the mints and assay offices, and by inquiries and investigations ema nating from those institutions, as well as this office, to ascertain the amount and character of the bullion produced in the various mining districts of the United States, has been supplemented by special returns direct to this Bureau from express and railroad companies, from the owners, managers, or superintendents of mines, mills, and smelting and refining works, and bankers, dealers, and exporters of bullion, and their several statements have been carefully compared and tested, and the general conclusions derived as to the amount of gold and silver obtained from the mines in each State and Territory, and the several counties and districts, are embodied in this report. The completion of the work has been somewhat delayed by the sud den death of Dr. Frederick Eckfeldt, Who had been assigned to the special charge of the collection and compiling of statistics relating to production, and for the last three years had ably assisted in this branch of othee labor, and whose ability, accuracy, and discriminating judg ment are evidenced in many valuable tables prepared by him for the precedin g volumes and interesting reviews of mining regions which he had visited, and With Which he was familiar.
