HAVING. directed attention to the value of the previous

publication of Mining Statistics, as prepared by Mr. Robert

Hunt, and to their practical value, as proved by a prompt

compliance with the Order of the Hou e of Commons in

1856 for a Return of the Total Produce of the British

Mines, I have now to express my conviction that the

present Volume will be found as valuable as any one of the

preceding Memoirs, and particularly important in showing

that the produce of Coal in the United Kingdom has

now reached the enormous annual amount of 66} millions

of Tons.

INTRODUCrr iON.

TE years since, the publication of MINERAL STATISTICS ·of a reliable character ·was commenced, by issuing from the MINING RECO RD OFFICE returns of the produce of the Lead Mines of the United Kingdom. With each year, efforts have been made to enlarge the circle of inquiry; and it is with much satisfaction that I find myself enabled, in the MINERAL STATISTics for 1856, to embrace every important branch of our Mineral Industries.

Although the detailed statements of the Mining and Metallurgical productions, constitute the real commercial value of the e publications, it has been thought that a concise general view of the present ·condition, and of the progr , of those great ources of our national ·wealth, cannot but prove intere ting and useful.

The inquiry ha now reached a stage of completeness which enables thi to be done with a degr e of correctness not hitherto attainable, and the relative values of our Mineral Productions in 1856 and the tv.ro preceding years can now be sati factorily estimated.

Thus we find an increased production of 603 tons of Tin Ore in 1856 over that of 1854.

From the high price of this metal there has natmally been considerable activity in the Tin-mining Di tricts : many mines which are, under those circumstances, now worked at a profit, would be unable to meet their heavy expenses should any con iderable reduction take place ; but the demand for this useful metal i at pre ent too great to render thi probable.

Our Importations of Tin have a] o greatly increased.

INTRODUCTION. XI

The fine Copper in 1856 being the produce of 278,792 tons of Copper Ore obtained from the mines of Great Britain and Ireland, the money value of the Ore being 1,744,516!.

This exhibits, in 1856, an increase in our production of fine Copper of 2,963 tons over that produced in 1855, and of 4,540 to.ns more than the quantity yielded in 1854.

In the same periods, the· proportion of Copper produced at Swansea from the Foreign and Colonial Ores, sold at the public Ticketings at that port have been respectively,-

1854 1855 1856

- 3,455 Tons. - 4,650 " - 4,837 "

The money value of the Copper produced at our British Smelting Work being, in

1854 1855 1856

2,331,804 2,867,207 2, 46, 03

The mean average market price of the several varieties of Metallic Copper being, in 1855, 130l. 5s., and in 1 56, 125l.

LEAD and ILVER.-More than four hundred Lead Min s sold Lead Ore during the year. The produce of the Min~;s

of the United Kingdom in 1856 and the two preceding years wa a follow ,-

1854, IJ:etallic L ead - 64,005 Ton . l 55, do. - 73 091 " 1 56, do. - 73,129 '

It will be seen that there ha been a uniform rate in the production of Lead from the Briti h Mine , Lut at the same time our Importations of thi metal have been larger than

Xll INTRODUCTIO •

they were in 1855, when we imported 7,246 tons of Lead; the quantity received in 1 56 being 10,254 tons. This i less, however, than the Imports of 1853 and 1854, which were, respectively, 17,564 tons, and ll, 5 ton .

T he mean average prices per Ton of Lead Ore, as deduced from the public sales, were,-

<e s. d. In 1855 - 14 4 6 In 1856 - 14 8 0

the money value of the Lead Ore old in I 55 being 1,3ll ,97ll., that of 1 56, or 10I,997 ton , being I ,43I,509l. The mean average price of Pig Lead in 1 55 wa 23t. 3s. per ton, and in 1856 it was 24l. per ton. The actual market value of the Lead smelted being, in 1855, I,692,055l., and in I 56, I,755,096l., to which mu t be added the ilver extracted; the quantitie having been in the la t three year as follows :-

Oz -. <e 1854 562,659 Value 140,666 1 55 561 906

" 140,476

1 56 614,188 153,547

In 18-5 we imported 7,222 ton of Silver Ore, producing 2,1I2,246 ounce of Silver; and in 1 56, 6,636 ton , which gave I,74 ,735 ounce· of that metal.

Zr c.-From the small demand for Engli h Zinc Ore , comparatively limited quantities were rai ed for many years. The ulphides of Zinc have become more valuable, and hence they have been ought for and sold in larger quantities than formerly,-9,003 tons being sold in I8.'56, the money value of which was 27,445l. The Importations of Zinc have declined. Of Spelter, we received in I853, 23,419 ton ; in 1854, 19,583 tons; in I855, 17,845 ton ; and in I 56, 18,2I3 tons. D uring last year we exported 3,I53 tons of

...

I TRODUCTION. X Ill

British Zinc, while in I 855 we only sent out of the country 2,516 tons.

I am enabled to refer with satisfaction to the present returns of Iron Pyrites, Arsenic, &c., which are far more exact than any which have hitherto been published.

JRor .- . The enormous increase which has taken place in our Iron Manufacture will be seen upon reference to the detailed statements. The returns of Iron Ore are far more

' complete than those which have b~en given in any former publication, and they may now be regarded as a very close approximation to the real produce of all the Iron-mining districts of the United Kingdom.

Those returns show that I0,483,309 tons of Iron Ore . have been rai ed, and that 3,636,377 tons of Pig Iron have been produced. Iron Ores. have sold, according to their respective qualitie ·, at the mine , for prices va:t:ying from 5s. to I5s. per ton. The mean average price of Iron Ore, computed from the sales of all the districts, has been l l s. per ton. This will give 5,695, 15l. as the value of the Jron Ore produced in I856 in Great Britain. The total produce of Pig Iron, at the mean av rag market price, or 4l. per ton, will give a money value equal to 14,545,508l.

CoALs.-The large development of our Iron and other manufactures ha naturaUy led to a considerable inerea e in the quantity of Coals rai ed. N otwith tanding the great excess of the return obtained in I 54 over any previous computation, I find it exceeding in I 56 even that smpri ing quantity ; the Coal produce of the last year and the two prev10u years being as follows :-

l 54 1855 1856

Tons. - 64,661,401 - 64,453,070 - 66,645,450

XIV INTRODUCTION.

This shows an increase in 1856 of 2, 192,380 tons over the coal produce of the previous year, and, at the average price of Coals at the pit's mouth, gives a money value equal to 16,663,862l. There has been an increase of nearly one million of tons in our Exports to Foreign Countries, and the quantity of Coals ent Coa tways and by Railway is larger th~n in any former year.

Among the smaller articles of mineral produce, SALT, !RoN PYRYTEs, AusENrc, BARYTE , and FL oR SPAR show a much higher value than tho e substances w re generally thought to pos ess.

Although the returns of BurLDI G To ES have been considerably increased, et the detailed li ts are far from being perfect. Enough, however, has been done to enable, by careful co~putation, a tolerably clo e e timate, of the value of these important productions, to be made. The difficulty of obtaining returns of the quantities of Clay manufactured into Bricks, Tiles, &c., is o great, that, with the exception of the finer varieties employed for Porcelain and fine Earthenware, it appears, at pre ent, almo t irnpo sibl to arrive at any approximation to the real value of this raw material.

The value of the mineral production of the United Kingdom has been estimated, in the following table, upon the principle of taking the mean average price of the substances at the mine, colliery, or quarry, before any cha'rges

fo1· can·iage have been made, or cost has been added in any way fo1· manufactwre.

XVI IN'l'RODUCTIO ' ·

The results 'vhich are here collected, and given in mo t cases in detail, could only have been arrived at by mean of that liberal assistance which has been given by all those who are largely interested in the Mineral Industries of this country.

To Mine Owners, Colliery Proprietors, Iron Master , and Smelters, I have to express my obligation , not merely for information as to their own works, but in many ca e for their aid in collecting the returns of the district in which they may reside. There are cveral gentlemen connected with the Coal and Iron trades, whose name I am not at liberty to publish, to whom most especial thanks arc due. The as istance which has been given by all Her Majesty's Inspectors of Collieries is particularly acknmYledged, a is al o the very valuable information a to the di tribution of the mineral produce which has been furni hcd to the MINI! G RECORD OFFICE by the Managers of the great Railway Companie .

For . the returns of the Stone Quarries of cotland I am indebted to Mr. Ravenscroft, of Edinburgh, who has been engaged in collecting specimens of those Stones for the National Museum of Scotland.

The "Mineral Statistics" are this year publi hed later than usual, owing to pres ing engagements in the early part of the year, connected with the preparation of a DESCRIPTIVE G IDE TO THE MusE M OF PRACTICAL GEOLOGY. Every effort will be made to en ure the publication of all future returns at. the earliest possible period.

Those furnaces are entirely for the production of Charcoal Iron, and , with the Bunaw Furnace in Scotland , are the only one~ in these islands produ<::ing thi iron. The demand for Charcoal Pig Iron of strong and hard quality, fit for malleable ca tin ~ , i yearl y becoming more urgent, the only limit b eing the difficulty of gettin cr th e fu el for smelti ng. The Charcoal Iron is extensively used in Birmingham, where it i smelted in crucibles, in air furnaces, and rnn into small mould . These castings are decarbonized by placing them in layers, with powdered H rematite Ore, in cylindrical pans, and exposing them to a ufficient and continued heat in suitable ovens, until all become mall eable. It was taterl in the Minera l Statistics of 1855 that blooms and bar were made at Backbarow ; this manufacture is discontinued, owing to th e importation of Iron from Swed n ~

THE NoRTHERN CoAL TRA DE has since 1843 nearly doubl ed in value. Although th ere has been a large general increase, the development of the CoKE Trade, an d the consumption in Iron Works, consequent upon the opening out of the Cleveland Iron Stone, have mainly contributed to produce this remarkable extension.

I have been favou red with computations made by a. gentleman who has been for a long period intimately connected with the Coal Trade of DonHAM and NoRTIIUMBERLAND, which enable me to construct the following table of the prod ucc of 1843 :-

An attempt has been made to arrive at orne exact information as to the quantity of Clay manufactured into Tiles, Drain Pipes, and Brick , throughout England, and to add thereto orne special information as to the quality of the Clays and the prices at which the manufactured article was sold. It has, however, been found impracticable to do this. The lie. ired information has been freely comm unicated from several sources, but it has been derived from localities too widely scattered, and i altogeth er of so very imperfect a cl1aracter that it has not been possible to g ive it a shape sufficiently intelligible for publication.

The following return is given for the purpose of bowing the form in which it is desirable such in formation should be communicated, with the hope of securing before another year something approaching to a correct statement of the value of the manufacture from the commoner varieties of Clay.

"' The Rowley Rag has been employed by Me srs. Chance in the manufacture of artificial basaltic tone ; the following is a descr iption of the process :

The material u ed is basalt, trap, whinstone, Rowley Rag, or any mineral of such like structure, and belonging to the same geological formation . T he material is melted in a reverberating furnace, and when in a su.fficient ly fluid state is poured in to moulds of sand encased in iron boxes, these moulds having been previously rai ed to a red beat in ovens stti table for th purpose. The object to be attained by heating the moulds previous to their reception of the liquid material is to r"tard the rate of cooling, as the re, ult of slow cooling i a hard, strong, and tony substance, clo ely re embling the natural stone, while the resul t of rapid cooling is a dark

brittle glas~. ''1wn the ma is suffi ciently cool the box is opened, and the sand adhering to the stone cleaned off. When the dark colour of the coating is objectionable, a coat of pain t i added, which will not (as in the case of iron) receive any injury from the action of the atmo· sphere on the ub tance on which it is laid. The stone thus produced is exceedingly hard, imperviou to damp, and will not be affe<:ted by the extremes of beat or cold, or by the most sudden change of temperature.

ALABASTER is the name g iven in this country to certa in varieties of Gypsum (Sulphate of Lime). In Italy and on the Continent generally, the name " Alabaster" is also given to various kinds of Carbonates of Lime of a stalactitic formation , and is by them called Oriental Alabaster, but the mater ial now under consideration is the Compact Gypsum of our own quarries. This is found in the R ed Marl formation, more or less plentiful in ,·a riou parts of onr country, but the mo t famous localitie are in the neighbourhood of D erby, where it exist in apparently inexhau tible CJUantities, and has been worked for many centurie . The great bulk of Alabaster is u eel for making Plaster of Poris and as a manure: it is the ba is of many kind· of Cements patented as Keene's, Martin's, and other·. To get it for these purposes it is worked by mining underground, and the stone is bla ted by gunpowder, but this hakes it so much a to render it unfit for working into ornament , &c., to procure blocks for which purpo e it is neces ary to have an open quarry by removing the superincumbent Marl and laying bare a large surface of the rock, which being very irregular in form and jutting out in certain parts, allows of its being sawn out in blocks of considerable size and comparatively sound (as i illustrated by th e large Tazza in our Museum). This stone, when protected from the action of water, is extremely durabl e, as may be seen in churches a ll over th e country where monumental effigies, many centuries old , are now a perfect as th e day they were made, excepting of cour e wilful injurirs; but a exposu re to rain oon decomposes the stone, it must be borne in mind that it is perfectly

unsuited for garden vases or other out-door work in this country. In working, it can be sa wn up into slabs with toothed aws; and tot· working

mouldings aud sculpture, fine chi els, rasps, and files are tlte implements used ; the polishing is perfonued by rubbing it with pieces of Sandstone of various deg rees of finen es , and water, until it is quite free from scratches, aud then giv ing a glo s by means of polishing powder (Oxide of Tin) applied on a piece of cloth and rubbed with a considerable degree of fri ction on the stone. Alaba ter gives employment in D erby to a good


many hand ·, in formin g iL into useful and ornamental articles, and i commonly called Derbyshire Spar; most of the articles are turned in the lathe, ant! works something like very hard wood.

Another kintl of Gypsum, al so found in Derby hire, is the fibrous or silky kind; it occurs in thin bed· from on l! to ~;ix inch es in depth, and is cry tallizetl in long needle-like fibres, being asily worked, susceptible of a high poli h, and quite lu trou . It i · used for making necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and such like small articles.

All the Derbyshire marbles are procured fi·om the 1ountain Limestone formation, and are fouud in variou~ parts of the country in great vari ety, but only a few of them li e in regu lar beds capable of being worked fot· marble ouly ; in such quarri es large mas es can be procured suitable for working up into chimney-pi eces, table , floors, &c. The mo t abundant kind is the Entrochal Marble, wh ich is a compl ete ma ·s of fossil encrinites imbedded in a matrix of Carbonate of Lime; these have been so broken up and intermixed that wh en sawn into slabs an d polished, section of the fossil are shown in all directi ons. Of this marbl e there are many vari eties, some of them being so di similar as to !! ppear to be a different kind; that containing large encrinitcs is locally called "Fos_il Marble," and according to its tint,-red, g rey, blue, &c. Another kind is composed of small fragments of encrinites about the size of mu:: tard seed, imbedded in the Limestone mntrix, which varie in colour fr om a light grey to a nearly blnck, and is called "Bird"s-eye Mn rbl e," with its particular colour as a preflx; other varieties are known by the name of,the quarry from wh ence they are obtained, as "One A h," " S heldon," "Cole Hill," &c. This kind of m arbl e is used to the extent of about 20,000 cubic feet per annum, and, from it· abun dan re, can be sold, when manufactured, a t a very low price.

Th e Black Marbl e of Dc1·byshire is procu red from the Duke of D evon-hire's quarrie at A hford, and is the fi ne;: t known, both for colou1· and

texture ; it lies in bed of from hal f an inch to len inches in thicknc s, and the demand for it ,1·ould be Yery g reat, but unfort unately it is extremely subject to veins of white ca!carcou · spar, and shake~, which render it difficult to p rocu re in large sizes of pure black, but in D erbyshire it is worked extensively into chimney -pi eces, ant! such as is not large enoug h for that purpose is sold to the man ufacturers of chimney orname nts, &c., by whom it is made into numberle s beau tiful article , such as tabl es inlaid after the manner of th e f lorenti ne mo~aic, inkstands, va e , &c. The quantity used is about 500 tons pe r an num. R o·ewood marble is xceecl ingly hand ome, but being very hard and, like the black, very subj ect to shakes, it is expensive, and therefore the q uantity used is very small,-not more th an 30 ton per annum.

In many parts of Derbyshire quarries of lim estone are worked to a great extent, many thousand tons of whi ch arc used annually a- a flux in smelting iron. In work ing the_e quarries th ey occasional ly mel' t with prettily vei ned picces-madrepores, &c.-·which, when J,t rge enoug h, m·e nsed in making pede tals, and th e smalle r pieces for inlaying, &c. Th e Lead mines al so fur nish a varie ty of specimens,- pars, sta lactitrs, colou red barytes, &c.

Fluor Spa r in ma ses large enough for working into ornamen t eems to b e pecul iar to Derbysh ire, wh ere it i manufactured into va;es an d various oth er small articl es so well known as " Derbysh ire Spar." There are several varieti es, the mo t beau t!ful · nd least plentifu l being the kind kn own by the name of " Blue John;" t h i~ is only procured in one locality, Ca tie ton,


in the P eak. The fine blue and purple colour, occasionally intermixed with white and yellow, together with its transparency, re11d ers it one of the most attractive of stones; it is frequ ently mistaken on the Continent fot· amethyst, and is valuable, being worth in its rough state from SOl. to 60[. per ton, and very fin e pieces as much as 200l. Th e manufacture requires a very skilful workman .

The other spars ore transparent, white, and yellow, nnd some of these are intern1ix ed with galena and baryt es, othe rs with minute sparkling crystals of iron pyrites, and are so vari ed that scarcely two are alike.

All th ese marbl es and spars are manufactured in various parts of the cou11ty, nnd give employment t o from 350 to 400 men. At D erby a teamengine is employed to give motion to a number of machines for sawino-, polishing, and turn ing, w!Jich g reatly facilitates and reduces the co_t ~r working those D erbyshire spars and marbles.

Large quantities of Glas hou e Sand have been brought to this country from Fontainebleau for some years past, and it is preferred by many of our glass manuli1cturers. This sand is delivered in the Thames for about 22s. per Ton.

The Upper Bag hot sands yield at Alum Bay very pure and white sand for glass making. Th ey also produce in the ew Forest a sand not quite so good, which is employ ed in the manufacture of inferior glass.

At the junction of the Bag~l10t antis with the Barton Clay below them, is, in part of the New Fores t, a fine loamy sand, which is used in the iron foundries.
