1893 MINERAL WATERS. 
A. C. Pis ale. 
For the year 1801 our list of commercial mineral springs numbers 
288, which is an increase of 15 since 1890. Of these, however, only 
227 report, leaving a delinquent list of 01 springs. 
As in the report for the previous year, the figures for these delin- 
quent springs are taken at one-lialf the production they last reported. 
The springs that do report had increased sales. 
The total product for 1891, including the estimate as above for the 
delinquent springs, is 18,392,732 gallons, at a valuation of $2,996,259. 
This is an increase of 5,385,314 gallons and $410,509 over the figures 
for 1890. 
In the north Atlantic states the total number of springs on the list 
is 74, instead of 09, as in 1890. This increase is due to the fact that 1 
new spring is added and that 4 springs, which for several years had 
made no report and were taken from the list, have now been placed 
upon it again. There has also been an increase in production; 681,078 
gallons more were sold in 1891 than in 1890, with an increase of $410,234 
in the value of the product. 
The south Atlantic states also show an increased number of springs, 
the number for 1891 being 50, an increase of 5 from 1890. Two of 
these, the Takoma Park springs of Maryland and the Magnolia springs 
of Florida, are entirely new to the list. The other three were on the 
list in 1888, but have not reported since. There is an increase of 
148,814 gallons for the section, with an increase in value of $07,683. 
The total number of springs for the north central states is 87 for 
1891, an increase of 2 from 1890. As a matter of fact there is an 
increase of 3, while 1 had been taken from the old list. However, the 
increase in the number of gallons is 2,900,143, with a decrease of 
$255,590 in the value of the production. The increase is due mainly 
to the increased number of gallons sold from the Michigan springs. 
The net increase in the springs of the south central states is 1. 
One spring each is added for Tennessee and Mississippi and 1 taken 
from Texas. The increase in production is 24,444 gallons, with an in- 
creased value of $24,596. 
In the western division, Montana, for the first time on the list, adds 
1 spring, making the total 34 instead of 32 as for 1890. There is an 
increase of 254,136 gallons and an increase of $160,986 in value. 602

MINERAL RESOURCES. 
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. 
Imports.—Prior to 1884 natural mineral waters were not distinguished 
from artificial mineral waters, but since 1883 the distinction has been 
made, but the latter have not been classified according to the recepta- 
cles in which they were imported. The following tables give the impor- 
tation of mineral waters, showing an increase in the importation of 
artificial waters, and a decrease in natural waters:

Exports.—The exports of natural mineral waters from the United 
States from 1875 to 1884 varied in value from a minimum of $80 in 1876 
to a maximum of $1,529 in 1879. Since 1884 there have been no 
exports of natural mineral waters reported. 
The exports of artificial mineral waters are trifling.
