Considerable smelting and refining are done on a toll basis, but the cost of material reported for establishments that treat ore, matte, or bullion for others inIcludes the estimated values of such materials treated, and the value of products reported for these establishments includes the values of the metals produced. Many of the plants classified as smelters and refineries produce considerable quantities of sulphuric acid, nickel and copper sulphate, lithopone, pigments, zinc oxide, and precious metals, the value of which are included in the "Value of products" item. Duplication in cost of materials and value of products. The total cost of materials and the total value of products include extensive duplications resulting from the use of the products of certain establishments as materials by others. For example, considerable quantities of the blister copper and lead bullion produced by smelters are used as materials by refineries. Thus the value of this blister copper and lead bullion, which represent intermediate states in the production of refined copper and lead from the ore, appears twice in the total value of products for the industry; and a corresponding duplication enters into the total cost of materials for the industry. Industry figures do not represent values of nonferrous metal production. The annual report of the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, shows the quantities of the several classes of products of the "Primary smelting and refining of nonferrous metals" industry; but the value of products given in the following tables do not apply to quantities of copper, lead, and zinc reported by the Bureau of Mines, for the reason that the value of products of the industry necessarily includes the values of the incidental production within the industry of gold, silver, and certain chemicals, and because of the further fact that the value of products includes some duplications due to the use of the products of certain establishments (smelters) as materials by others (refineries).
