I.—Non-German Sources of Potash

Extract

Abyssinian Deposits.—During 1911 an Italian resident in Eritrea discovered a remarkable occurrence of potash salts in the Piano del Sale, near the provisional boundary between the Italian colony and Abyssinia. On account of its equivocal situation, development was somewhat handicapped during the early stages by Abyssinian hostility. Fortunately these preliminary difficulties were successfully overcome, and the deposit proved to be of great assistance to the Allied Powers during the war. The rate of production has gradually increased, and the estimated output for 1918 is stated to be equivalent to 50,000 tons of KCl.
