Monazite sands exist on the Brazilian coast, probably in larger
quantities than in all the rest of the world. In 1910 Germany imported
$1,000,000 worth. The thorium in the sands, used in the
manufacture of gas mantles, is extracted in Brazilian factories before
exportation. Two per cent of thorium is in the sand, sometimes nearly
6 per cent. It is found on the coast north of Rio and on some river
banks in Rio, Espirito Santo, Bahia, and Minas.
Graphite exists in several States, especially Minas and Bahia in
rather inaccessible locations, but one deposit in Rio is worked, for a
pencil factory in the city of Rio; others in a small way for local use.
Other Minerals. Platinum is found in gold bearing quartz and in
river alluvium in Pernambuco, Minas, and Parahyba; nickel in Minas,
Santa Catharina, and Rio Grande do Sul; salt in Rio Grande do
Norte, Rio, and Minas, worked in the last two; much is imported.
Other minerals found in various localities are asbestos, antimony
and tin, bismuth, barium, cinnabar, emery, kaolin; marble, white,
rose, onyx, and green; mica, molybdenite, saltpetre, silver and lead,
soapstone and talc, and wolfram. Among the stones garnets, opals,
pearls, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, topaz, and tourmalines are
found in more or less profusion as well as rock crystal, useful to
opticians. Minas contains almost every variety of ore and gem, which
with its good climate and fertile soil have made it the best populated
State, though without a large city.
Petroleum has been discovered in a number of States, among
them São Paulo, Minas, Alagôas, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Sergipe;
some of excellent quality in Bahia; but whether in quantities for large
exploitation is uncertain until further investigation and work are
carried on. Some geologists believe that prospects are highly
favorable. Oil of fine quality is recently reported at Piracicaba, São
Paulo, but as the petroleum is generally in schist rock its extraction
would be expensive. Recent advices state that Brazil has 35 oil fields
in four States with an area of 10,000 square miles; in the entire
country 75,000 square miles with an estimated producing capacity
within ten years of 500 to 600 million barrels.
Investments
In view of the varied resources of Brazil, to enumerate the
possibilities for investors would be difficult. There is hardly a line of
industry which cannot there be carried on successfully. That of coffee
growing is so well developed as to be somewhat overcrowded, but in
almost any other line there is a field for the investor. Whether it be
mining of gold or diamonds, of coal, iron, or manganese, be it
agriculture, stock raising, the lumber industry, or manufacturing, the
harnessing of the waterfalls to produce hydro-electric power, the
construction of public works, the field for the capitalist, large or small,
is of infinite variety and excellent promise. The present Government
is planning a broad and active development of the electric power
available from its great and numerous water-falls.
