Spltzbergen Rich LVind.
Spltabergen, virtually the only "No. Man's Land" of any value left on the earth, promises to present an Impor¬ tant question after the war ends. Jut¬ ting up from one of Europe's most northerly points toward tbe regions of jwrpetual Ice, Spltzbergen received little attention from world powers, even those near by, until Its Important mineral resources were revealed. By some It Is said the country will prove to be a second Alaska in the surprises awaiting Us complete exploration and ¦tudy.
Coal in apparently unlimited quan¬ tities, easily mined without shafting, abounds in Spltzbergen. Besides there are found deposits of iron ore, marble, copper ore. Iron and copper pyrites, molybdenum, KHiena, sine blende und other minerals.
