SILVER MOUNTAIN
IMMENSE YIELD SECURED. In some parts of the world natural wealth is heaped upon the inhabitants lavishly by Nature. Trinidad has her vast lake of pitch from which millions of tons have been shipped to all parts of the world. Lake Magadi in East Africa has inexhaustible stores of pure soda. But it is queer to find a mountain of valuable mineral, all ready to be carted avzay. “Der Erzberg,” the Iron,Mountain of Styria, Austria, is 50 per cent pure iron, estimated by metallurgists to contain 300,000,000 tons of ore. too, owns an iron mountain—navaara —which contains the largest quantity of high-grade iron ore in the world. It is about 70 per cent pure iron. But Bolivia beats both these so far as sheer wealth is concerned: the 5,000-foot high Cerro de Potosi has already yielded £3,158,000,000 worth of silver to the world.
