United States Almost Independent In
Mineral Resources.
Probably no other nation in the
world so dearly approaches absolute
independence In respect to minei al re
sources as the United States.
A glance at the statistics of min
eral imports affords a means of com
prehending in a broad way how
great and complex is the task of at
taining national independence in the
mining, metallurgical and chemical
industries. Last year the imports of
mineral products, both crude and
manufactured, exceeded $270,000,000.
Of this total probably $200,000,000
represents raw materials and crude
metals, the value of these imports
being about eight per cent, of that
of the domestic output. In this list
of imports the larger items named in
tne order of value are unmanufactur
ed copper, precious stones, nitrate of
soda, copper ore and matte, nickel,
tin, iron ore, pig iron and steel, pe
troleum products, maganese ores and
alloys, platinum, aluminum, pyrlte,
graphite, stone, potash and magne
site. This country has an abundant
supply of most of these mineral pro
ducts that are now imported in large
amounts, and as to them it can be
independent of foreign countries.
The only essential minerals of the
first rank of which the United States
has no known supply at all commen
surate with its needs are nitrates,
potash salts, tin, nickel, and plati
num, the list thus comprising two es
sential mineral fertilizers and three
very useful metals.
