venet & Bro., of St. Louis (Mo.), made the following analysis of this iron-ore:
Metallic iron 67.52 per cent. Sulphur 0.01 per cent. Phosphorus 0.041 per cent. Silica 3.67 per cent."
The Haitian law relative to mines and quarries has been translated into English and was printed in the Bulletin of the Bureau of the American Republics[1] of June, 1902.
- ↑ Professor Robert T. Hill, in his book, "Cuba and Porto Rico with the other Islands of the West Indies," has endeavored to be just toward the Haitians; but he could not resist the temptation of repeating some of the misrepresentations contained in M. St. John's book, the hold of these misrepresentations being so strong even on the best well-meaning men. Professor Hill affirms that Haiti has no law relative to her mines (p. 272); such a law has existed since 1860 and can be found in English in the Bulletin of the Bureau of American Republics of June, 1902.
