...world's richest nations. Canada (pop. 13,000,000) leads the world in production of newsprint, nickel and asbestos; stands second in wheat exports, aluminum and zinc; third in copper, gold & silver mining. The hemisphere's richest uranium mine is in the Canadian North. The vast iron-ore deposits in Labrador and Quebec can replace the dwindling U.S. Mesabi range as the mainstay of U.S. steelmaking. New oilfields in Alberta are already compared to the fabulous wells of west Texas...

Baltimore and Seattle, among others, would limp through their seasons, still on the sick list. But from Portland, Ore. last week came cheering news of a remedy if not a cure...

Known high-and medium-grade iron ore deposits in the U.S. will last 40 years, lower-grade ore some 600 years. Moulton also expects new deposits to be discovered. New techniques will further stretch existing supplies. Example: gas turbines are so cheap and efficient that one day a turbine the size of a dial telephone may power the American automobile...
Still exploring minor veins in the Lincoln lode, historical pickmen sometimes hit upon a passable grade of ore. This book is an example of the work of a noted Lincoln scholar, digging up minutiae of value. It was at the old Illinois capital of Vandalia that 27-year-old Abraham Lincoln solved a tricky problem in practical politics, and it is useful to know not only that he did it, as the biographies attest, but precisely...
