The production of this new district in 1891 is reported to have amounted to only 200 tons; in 1892 it was 178,181 tons; and iu 1893 it was 306,594 tons. The Gellivara ore is of Bessemer quality and is very rich in iron. The ore of tins district is mostly shipped to Westphalia and Silesia, in Germany, but a considerable quantity goes also to Great Britain. Shipments are made from the port of Lulea, on the Gulf of Bothnia, which iconnccted with the mines by a railroad over 100 miles long. CW.—The coal deposits of Sweden which have been developed are all situated in the extreme southern part of the kingdom. The production is small, never having exceeded 200,000 metric tons in any year. The production of 1893 is the lamest yet recorded, amounting to 199,933 metric tons. Export'.—Sweden export- a large part of her iron and stwl products, which trade she owes chiefly to their superior quality.
STEEL IN ALL COUNTRIES. 31 UI -IA. Russian stnlistics of production are given in poods, each of which the Treasury Department of the United States Government regards as the equivalent of 36.112 pounds. The reductions to metric tons which we have mode in the following tables have Iwen made on this basis. The tables herewith presented have Iwen compiled in pari from data furnished us in 1890 by Mr. George Komensky, of the Imperial Mint at St. Petersburg, and in part from an official publication printed in English at St. Petersburg in 1893 by the Russian Government for use in connection with the Russian mining and metallurgical exhibits at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in that year, and prepared by Mr. A. Keppen. mining engineer. The statistics of Finland are included in the statistics we shall present. It is to Iw regretted that statistics of the production of iron ore, coal, pig iron, and steel in Russia can not be presented in a more satisfactory form. Iron Ore.—The production of iron ore in Russia from 1886 to 1890 was as follows, in metric tons: 1886, 1.061.242 tons; 1887, 1,355,912 tons; 1888, 1,433,930 tons; 1889, 1.640.242 tons; 1890, 1,796.130 tons. These figures are derived from Mr. Keppen's book. The production in 1892 is rei>orted to have Iwen 1,577,015 tons. Coal.—The production of all kinds of coal in Russia, nearly all of which is of good quality, was as follows from 1870 to 1890, the figures from 1*78 to 1887 inclusive being Mr. Kamenskv"s and the others being reductions from Mr. Keppen's statistics. 1870... 1875... 1878... 1879... 1880... 1881... 1882...

in the production of iron ore in Sweden in 1892 and 18113. which<br />
is attributable to the opening up of a new and very important<br />
iron-ore field in the province of Norrbotten, in the northeastern<br />
part of the kingdom, which is known as the Gellivara district.<br />
