The production of iron ore in Algeria, which is now regarded<br />
as a part of the French Republic, is reported to have been 393,-<br />
921 metric tons in 1893. The shipments of iron ore in the same<br />
year amounted to 223,880 tons. The production in 1882 is reported<br />
to have amounted to 567,119 tons, which was the largest<br />
ever attained. All the Algerian iron ore that is mined is exported,<br />
chiefly to France. France also imports iron ore from<br />
Spain, Germany, and other countries, and she is also an exporter<br />
of iron ore in small quantities to neighboring countries.<br />
