			** Indirect taxes for the mining industry does not include the Federal Mineral Royalties
			paid by the mining industry to the federal government. These royalties are reported
			in the real state category of the Financial, Insurance and Real Estate (F.I.R.E.) industry.
			A letter from Cliff Woodruff, researcher for the Bureau of Economic Analysis, is included
			that explains this reasoning for this classification method. In Wyoming this is significant,
