Iron ore is found in all parts of the Austria-Hungarian Empire,
and owing to this fact and to the extreme richness of the
ores that are mined but little ore is imported. The exports of
iron ore from the empire are also very small.
Coal.—In both Austria and Hungary the larger part of the
coal that is mined is brown coal, or lignite. W e give below, in
metric tons, the quantity of each kind of fuel that has been annually
produced in these countries from 1887 to 1893.
