emergency period of l939--l943.
The chromite deposits. first dis

These deposits, the bureau said.
provided domestic steel mills sub
stantial quantities of this essential
steel-making mineral during the
critical years of World War Two.
The success of the chromite prof.
eet, developed when foreign i'm

the fact that domestic chromite
production rose 70. i60, TO tons in
