(By Mall. .)-Interest in Uruguay man.
lganese is being reawakened among
capitalists Of Great Britain and the
United States. and there is growing
ibelief that Reconstruction activities in
the western hemisphere will require
development of the vast deposits OF
this valuable metal existing in this
country. r+
! Manganese is largely used in manu-
| facture of glass and chemicals. Ger
man and British capital has done
about all that has been done, in the
manganese exploitation that has been
tcarried On in this country, and prac-
tically nothing has been done since
the war started.
Revival of the chemical industry in
America is looked upon as a hopeful
sign oy Uruguay residents who want
to see the country's resources devel-
6peu.
Lack OF transportation facilities has
been the greatest difficulty to be sur
mounted in bringing the widely scat
tered manganese deposits into pro-
duction. This handicap has kept un-
productive two large hills. almost solid
manganese ore throughout, situated
in the department OF Rivera. 1t is
estimated that s0.000.000 tons of the
valuable metal could be removed
from these deposits by open cuts,
with steam shovels. English capital
is lurgely interested in the company
holding concessions covering these
hills The company has
been inactive, though holding the
rights for several years, because it has
been unable to overcome the handicap /!
imposed by lack of railroads to the /
deposits, scarcity of fuel, and scarcity |
