近代中国锑矿开发以湖南最盛

The General Picture of Antimony Mining,in Modern China

我国光绪年间至民国初期(1875—1920)锑矿开发概貌,共涉及现行政区划6个省。本文对湖南等主要省的锑矿业,既扼要地探讨历史沿革,义尽量地汇集具体产锑地名及有关地质信息,展现出三条重要的锑矿带。同时,介绍了外国资本争夺锑矿与国内官商锑矿机构及冶炼业。对了解和研究近代中国锑矿开发史,系统地总结现代中国锑矿床的由来及地质找矿信息,都有一定的意义。

This Paper Summerizcs the general Picturc of antimony extracting from the reign of Guangxu in Ching Dynasty to early Pcriod of the Republic of China (1875-1920). According to the Present adminis-tra-tive divisions eight Provinces arc involved. For each Province, not only is the historical cause of change and development of antimony enterprise Probed, but the specific localities of mines and the related geological information are fully collected, from Which three major zones of antimony mineralization appear naturally. In the meanwhile this paper reveals the foreign capitalist coutrics fighting for thir kind of mineral resource and mentions also the commercial organizations of mining and enterprises of antymony smelting controlled and monoplied by the government at that time. All these descriptions must have certain siginificance for un-derstanding and studying the history of antimony extracting and for summing up systematically the source of antimony deposit and the information of Prospecting in modern China.
