Description

The production of quicksilver in 1914 was 16,548 flasks, 75 lbs. each, valued at $811,680, showing a decreased output of 3,665 flasks compared with the production of 1913. This decrease was entirely due to a much smaller yield from California. The production from California, which amounted to 15,591 flasks, valued at $627,228 in 1913, was only 11,303 flasks, valued at $554,414 in 1914. The production of Nevada increased from 1,645 flasks, valued, at $66,178 in 1913, to 2,089 flasks, valued at $102,465, in 1914. The combined output of Arizona and Texas increased from 2,977 flasks, valued at $119,765, in 1913, to 3,156 flasks, valued at $154,801, in 1914. None of the mines in Oregon, Utah or Washington produced any quicksilver in 1914, and the output was derived from 20 properties in California, 7 in Nevada, and 3 in Arizona and Texas. 6 p.
