GOLD AND SILVER.
(GENERAL REPORT.)
By J. P. Dunlop.
PRODUCTION.
DOMESTIC PRODUCTION.
Approximate distribution, by producing States and Territories, of the production of gold and silver in the United States in 1922.
» Gold valued at $20.67+ per fine ounce.
& Silver valued at $1 per fine ounce as provided by the Pittman Act of Apr. 23.1918.
The figures in this table were obtained through cooperation be­tween the United States Bureau of the Mint and the United States Geological Survey and were agreed upon after conference and adjust­ment between the two bureaus. They are therefore final for both.
The totals are based on bullion deposits in the United States mints and assay offices and on returns to the Bureau of the Mint from the smelting and refining companies. The distribution is adjusted by means of information collected by the United States Geological Sur­vey directly from the producing mines and tabulated for the mine reports later discussed. The data for the total production and in part for the distribution are obtained from records of (1) the unre­fined domestic gold and silver deposited in United States mints and assay offices, (2) the domestic gold and silver in fine bars reported
