Excerpt from Annual Report of the Minister of Mines: For the Year Ending 31st December, 1905 In assembling the output for the lode mines in the following tables, the established custom of this Bureau has been adhered to, viz. The output of a mine for the year is considered that amount of ore for which the smelter or mill returns have been received during the year. This system does not give the exact amount mined during the year, but rather the amounts credited to the mine on the company's books during such year.
