...greater cost. The same principle applies to aluminum, which will increase steadily in importance. If high-quality foreign bauxite, which is now used as aluminum ore, becomes unavailable, the U.S. can turn to low-grade domestic deposits, or even to plentiful aluminum-containing clay. Other imporant metals, such as copper, can be extracted in any reasonable quantity out of low-grade domestic ores at somewhat higher cost.

If the Japanese are satisfied by the find, they promise to put up $3,000,000 to form a new company with Chalcidice Mining, buy the copper output and ship it to Japan. Xenarios confidently expects a top position in the new company for his long days of searching and his long nights of reading. "Ancient texts," he says, "are good for modern business...
