Section 26

Mining and Mineral Products

This section presents statistics relating to the mineral industries and mineral products. The data are arranged in four broad groupings: General summary statistics, fuels, nonmetals other than fuels, and metals. Summary measures of production and

employment are presented for mining and its products. More detailed data on value and quantity of production, prices, imports and exports, consumption, and distribution are shown for specific mineral industries and products.

The principal source of these data is the Minerals Yearbook, published by the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior. It consists of volume I, Metals, Minerals, and Fuels; volume II, Area Reports-Domestic; and volume III, Area Reports-International. Another major government source is the Census of Mineral Industries, conducted every 5 years by the Bureau of the Census. Non-government sources from which data are presented in this section include the Annual Statistical Report of the American Iron and Steel Institute, Washington, D.C.; Metals Week and the monthly Engineering and Mining Journal, issued by the McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., New York; and The Iron Age, issued weekly by the Chilton Co., Philadelphia.

Mineral statistics, with principal emphasis on commodity detail, have been collected by the Geological Survey or by the Bureau of Mines since 1880. Current data available from Bureau of Mines publications include quantity and value of minerals produced, sold or used by producers, or shipped; quantity of minerals stocked; crude materials treated and prepared minerals recovered; and consumption of mineral raw materials. The Bureau of Mines also collects and publishes data on man-hours, employment, and accidents and injuries in the mineral industries.

Decennial censuses of mineral industries were conducted by the Bureau of the Census from 1840 to 1940. Censuses were taken again for the years 1954, 1958, 1963, and 1967. The 1967 census is the most recent for which complete data are available. The censuses provide, for the various types of mineral establishments, information on operating costs, capital expenditures, and labor, equipment, and energy requirements in relation to their value of shipments and other receipts. Commodity statistics on many of the manufactured mineral products are also collected by the Bureau at monthly, quarterly, or annual intervals and issued in its Current Industrial Reports series.

Data on mining and mineral products may also be found in other sections of this Abstract. For example, data on iron and steel, and on aluminum, magnesium, copper, clay, and other manufactured mineral products appear in section 28, Manufactures; summary data for outlying areas of the United States appear in section 31; and selected data on an international basis are presented in section 32.

In general, figures shown in the individual commodity tables include data for outlying areas, and may therefore not agree with summary table 1094. Except for crude petroleum, the export and import figures include foreign trade passing through the customs districts of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, but exclude shipments between conterminous United States and outlying areas.
