Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iron-Ore Resources of Europe Most of the commercially available iron-ore deposits of the world occur on one or the other side of the North Atlantic. The location, extent, and character of our own deposits are well known to those who are interested in the American iron industry, but comparable information in English concerning the deposits of Europe is not available. We hold undisputed first place in the production of iron and steel, and our furnaces and mills are capable of sustaining a large export trade, but it is not enough to have intimate knowledge of our domestic deposits alone: we must know also the extent and the possible development of those foreign deposits with which our own must compete in international trade. A wealth of literature has been published on the iron-ore deposits of Europe, but it is the product of many writers, each occupying his individual viewpoint, it is printed in many languages, and much of it appears in publications that are not found in most libraries. The author of this report has undertaken to reduce this large and diverse record to nearly common scale or proportions and to present its content as briefly as possible to the American reader. The work of determining the location and extent of foreign mineral deposits was originally undertaken as part of a comprehensive survey of the world's mineral wealth for the guidance of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, but now that this purpose has been served the work is being continued as an aid to our foreign trade and a guide in the most rational development of our domestic resources. The results of the work of the Geological Survey on foreign mineral deposits will be published in the form of an atlas of commercial geology, containing maps showing the distribution of the economic minerals, accompanied by brief texts, and in bulletins, such as this one, giving more detailed information on a single mineral, together with a working bibliography. As iron resources are of paramount importance to industrial nations another bulletin, focused on the industrial aspects of the deposits of iron ore in central Europe, has also been issued by the Geological Survey. That bulletin may serve as a companion volume to this one, which deals primarily with the deposits themselves.
