MINING INDUSTRY

 The total output of ores yielding gold, silver, copper, lead, or zinc in
the Eastern States in 1941, excluding the magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite ore
from Pennsylvania, was 3,780,397 tons—a 3-percent increase over 1940.
The quantity of gold-bearing sand and gravel handled at placer mines in the
Southern Appalachian region was small; the Ferey Mining Co., only operator
that reported using mechanical equipment in placer mining during the year,
shut the equipment down in August after a few months of intermittent operation
on the Barlow placer near Dt~hlonega, Ga. The gold ore output (most of which
was treated by cyanidation) averaged $4.36 to the ton in gold and $0.04 in
silver and copper~ The copper, zinc, and
