PITTSBURG, Jan. 28. (/?)—'The
largest mercury deposit, located at
Almaden, Central Spain, is described
in a statement juist issued by the
Bureau of Mines of the Department
of Commerce. The full text of the
statement follows:
The largest and richest deposit of
mercury now known in the world is
at Almaden, in eCntral Spain, near
the extreme western point of the
Province of Ciudad Real, states the
Bureau of Mines, Department of Com
merce, in the statistical report on
“Mercury in 1925.” This deposit has
been mined almost continuously since
Roman times and has been owned and
worked by the Spanish Government
since 1645.
More Than 2,0000 feet deep
The ore bodies are large, some of
them attaining 36 feet in width and as
much as 600 feet in length. The mine
has been developed to a depth of
more than 2,000 feet and the available
Reserve has been estimated, as at
least 40,000 metric tons of metal.
In the lower workings the ore
shoots are longer, the tenor of the
ore is higher, and the vein is wider.
The average content of all ore mined
is said to be about 8 per cent. Ac
cording to Spanish Government re
ports, however, the mercury extracted
was 6.06 per cent in 1922.
The production in the past two
years has amounted to about 26,000
filasks per annum. In 1924 the pro
ductivity per man was 18.53 flasks.
The pre-war average cost of produc
ing a flask has been, estimated at $15;
since the war the working costs have
been estimated at $45 per flask. De
posits of minor importance are found
in the Province of Asturias, Badajos,
Granada, Santander and Valencia.

rested on complaint of a neighbor
that his snoring was a nuisance, but
he was released.
