THE EMPIRE'S MINERAL RESOURCES

. The Imperial Institute jn continuation of its publications with reference to the mineral resources of the Empire , line.now issued a map with diagrams' indicating the sources within the- Empire of the chief metals of commercial importance. The outline map shows the occurrences in each British country of important metallic ores, and also the existence of deposits at present un-worK-ed. The diagrams attached to the map give for 1915 the production of each country as well as tlio total British _ output, and the world's output of each important metal or ore. Among the striking features disclosed are that in the case of gold more than iiolf the total production is within the Empire, the principal producer being houtll Africa; with silver the British proportion is rather less than one-fifth the principal producer being in the cases of manganese, chromium, tin. and molybdenum the British proportion is near one-half It is , remarkable that there appears to be scarcely any production of the valunhlp metals', mercury and platinum, within the Emmro, so that wp are almost entirely dependent on foreign countries for supplies. ,
