The World's Mineral Production in 1894 Volume Review
The 1894 volume of The World's Mineral Industry edited by Rothwell notes over 100 known minerals and discusses mining methods, prices, and dividends. It highlights low prices across the industrial world, with copper value down despite a production rise, pig iron output near 9 million tons, and U S silver mining down 18 percent in quantity but 38.6 percent in value. Gold production rose, with costs for gold ore reduction at $3 per ton and wages $2.50 to $3.50 daily, signaling a shift to improved processing for low grade ores and opportunities in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific regions.
