Considering the mineral industry of the Unit- ed States as a whole, the value of its products in unmanufactured form is more than $9,00 000,000, which places it second only to agricul- ture, with §12,400,000,000 General construc- tion, incidentally is third in the table, with |$6,380,000,000. Or, on the other hand, consider the §2,000,000,000 represented by metal and non-metallic mining alone, It exceeds by a con- siderable margin each of the following: coal in- cluding bituminous and anthracite; electric light ‘nml power; lumber and timber product petrol- eum and ural gas. These, with agriculture, may be rded as forming the roster of pri- mary - indutsries that produce by exploitation of natural resources as distinguished from those that produce manufactures from raw materials that th purchase.
