RARE 1939 NY Worlds Fair Brazil Travel Brochure Coal Mining

Description: Very good or better condition. BRAZILIAN COAL THE CARBONIFEROUS FORMATIONS IN BRAZIL ARE VERY EXTENSIVE, COVERING LARGE TRACTS OF LAND FROM S. PAULO DOWN THE OUTERMOST OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL. THE FARTHER SOUTH WE TRAVEL, THE THICKER ARE THE CARBONIFEROUS LAYERS TO BE FOUND. THE DEPOSITS SITUATE IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES OF BRAZIL HAVE BEEN STUDIED BY BRAZILIAN EXPERTS AND ALSO BY THE RENOWNED AMERICAN GEOLOGIST, I. C. WHITE, IN 1906, UNDER A CONTRACT WITH THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT. AC- CORDING TO HIS REPORTS, AND THE STUDIED OUTCROPS, FIVE COAL FIELDS EXISTING IN THE SOUTH WERE CONSIDERED AS FOREMOST, AND WERE NAMED TREVISO, BARRO BRANCO, IRA- PUA, PONTE ALTA AND BONITO. THE DEPOSITS OF TREVISO, EVEN THO NOT VERY THICK ARE BEING PROFITABLY EXPLORED, SPECIALLY BECAUSE THE COAL IS WORKED AT A LITTLE DEPTH WHEN NOT ON THE SUR- FACE. THE BARRO BRANCO FIELDS SHOW THICKER LAYERS AND ARE LARGELY EXPLORED, SUCH DEPOSITS OR FORMA- TIONS ARE PRETTILY EXTENDED ALL THRU THE CARBONIFEROUS CENTERS IN THE SOUTH OF THE COUNTRY. THE FIELDS OF IRA- PUÁ AND PONTE ALTA ARE NOT SO VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THOSE OF BONITO WHICH ARE ON A DEEPER STRATA, PRESENT THE THICKEST LAYERS OF A RICH COAL. THE MOST IMPORTANT FIELDS UNDER WORK IN SOUTH BRAZIL ARE MAINLY FOUND IN THE STATES OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL AND SANTA CATARINA. IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF SÃO JE RONIMO, IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL, WE FIND THE LEADING MINES WHICH ARE. ARROIO DOS RATOS ON THE SLOPES OF THE HERVAL MOUNTAIN, CONSIDERED TO BE THE LARGEST. ITS DEPOSITS ARE PRESENTED IN EXTRACTIVE LAYERS 2 TO 4 METERS THICK. JUST AT PRESENT THAT MINE IS EXPLORED BY "COMPA NHIA ESTRADA DE FERRO E MINAS DE SÃO JERONIMO". THE PRODUCT IS DUG OUT BY PNEUMATIC CUTTERS OF THE "JACK- HAMMER" TYPE. THE COAL IS EXTRACTED, AND CONVEYED IN WAGONETTES TO THE PORT OF XARQUEADA, AT A DISTANCE OF 20 KILOMETERS, WHEREFROM IT IS TRANSPORTED BY FLUVIAL VESSELS TO THE PORTS OF PELOTAS, RIO GRANDE, GRAVATAI AND PORTO ALEGRE. NEXT COMES THE BUTIA, WORKED BY "COMPANHIA CARBONIFERA RIO GRANDENSE". THE LAYERS IN THAT MINE VARY IN THICKNESS FROM ITO 3 METERS. THE COAL THEREOF IS TRANSPORTED BY RAIL TO SÃO JERONIMO AT A DISTANCE OF 40 KILOMETERS AND THENCEFORTH VIA FLUVIAL TO PORTO ALE- GRE AND RIO GRANDE. IN THE STATE OF SANTA CATARINA, THE MINES OF BARRO BRANCO AND URUSSA NGA ARE TO BE DISTINGUISHED ----------- 2 ----------- THE BARRO BRANCO FIELDS ARE SITUATE IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF NOVA ORLEANS, AND THE COAL THEREOF IS TRANSPORTED BY RAIL TO THE PORT OF IMBITUBA WHICH LIES 111 KILOME TERS AWAY, THEY ARE EXPLORED BY "COMPANHIA NACIONAL DE MINERAÇÃO DO CARVÃO DO BARRO BRANCO, WHICH EMPLOYS PNEUMATIC CUTTING MACHINES AND POSSESSES THE MOST MODERN MINING APPARATUSES. THE COAL IS TREATED BY THE "JIG" PROCESS AT AN OUTPUT OF 30 TONS AN HOUR. AFTER PROPERLY PREPARED THIS COAL HAS BEEN ADVANTA GEOUSLY BURNT BY THERMO-POWER PLANTS AND IN MARINE ENGINE BOILERS. FURTHER WE FIND IN THE DISTRICT OF NOVA ORLEANS A MINE NAMED BARRO BRANC. VELHO, A PROPERTY OF MR. HENRIQUE LAGE, WHICH IS ALSO BEING LARGELY EX- PLORED AND IS PROVIDED WITH THE BEST MACHINERY KNOWN. THE FIELDS OF URUSSANGA, ALSO IN SANTA CATARI- NA, ARE EXPLORED BY "COMPANHIA CARBONIFERA URUSSAN- GA". THE PRODUCT THEREOF IS TRANSPORTED FROM THE TER- MINAL OF "ESTRADA DE FERRO TEREZA CRISTINA" TO THE STA- TION OF ESPLANADA, AND THENCE TO THE PORT OF IMBITUBA, 87 KILOMETERS DISTANT. OTHER EXPLORATIONS ARE TO BE FOUND IN SANTA CATARINA AS THOSE OF RIO AMERICA, BELONGING TO A COMPANY UNDER THE NAME OF "COMPANHIA MINAS DO RIO CARVÃO". THE TOTAL RESERVE OF COAL IN SOUTH BRAZIL IS ESTIMATED AT 5.000.000.000 TONS. DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS THE PRODUCTION OF COAL IN THE COUNTRY HAS INCREASED FROM 372 THOUSAND TONS IN 1929 TO 850 THOUSAND TONS IN 1938, ALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE: 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 372.593 385.148 493.760 542.773 646.075 1934 1935 1936 1937 1938 730.622 840.088 622.196 762.789 850.000 IN THE NORTH BRAZILIAN STATE OF PIAUÍ POSITIVE SIGNS HAVE ISSUED WHICH ARE BEING SOUNDED AND ARE SHORTLY EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO A NEW CARBONIFEROUS FIELD IN THE COUNTRY.
