Iron for the Euture.

That iron is the very basis of our in
dustrial civilization will be admitted
by. the thoughtful, and many of our
greatest supplies of iron ore are be-
ing rapidly depleted because of the in-
creased per capita consumption of iron
the world over, an increase which is
destined to be greater in the future
when the races in Asia and Africa in
crease their consumption of iron.
These conditions of increasing con-
sumption of and decreasing reserves
have often in the past, particularly
about the beginning of this century,
says J. e. Johnson in Metallurgioal
and Chemical Engineering, been used
to create a scare, on the grOundl that
our supplies of usable ore were being
so rapidly depleted that their exhaus-
Hon would occur within two or three
generations. This is a prepOsterous
point of view, because as we lower
the percentage Of iron ore in the rock,
which we call "ore," the quantity Of
such ore increases at a. rate out of ALI
proportion to the decrease in IRON
content, and as we use leaner and
leaRer ores technical improvements
will be made which will minimize any
tendency to increased cost Of produe-
tion. The same thing has happened in
gold, silver copper and other ores, and
today copper ores are being worked
with only 1.5 per cent of copper in
them.
