“...being reckoned at 99 per cent, of the
total, the progress shown here may be taken as indicative of the very
great development of the oil industry in that province.
As regards the development of the several oil districts it will be seen
from the following table that the Niitsu district has increased in
much greater proportion than the others. This district is very pro-
ductive, but, as will be seen from Tables 6 and 7 at the end, the actual
position of the field is not truly indicated unless the value of the output
is considered side by side with the volume.

Note.From this table it will be seen that Niitsu provides nearly half the total amount of crude oil produced in Echigo, but that the
6ame ratio is not maintained in regard to value of production will be seen from Tables 2 and 7....”

Niitsu, Higashiyama maintaining a fairly consistent output.
