1Table includes data available through July 2004.  Estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals
shown.
2In addition to the commodities listed, a variety of brick, clay, dolomite, limestone, methanol, sand, crushed construction stone, and tile was
produced, and natron (soda ash) may have been produced, but available information is inadequate to make estimates of output levels.  Natural
gas liquids also were produced but were blended with crude petroleum and reported as part of that total.
3Includes hot-briquetted iron.
