袁复礼调查攀枝花铁矿考

On the Authenticity of Yuan Fuli's Survey on Iron Mine in Panzhihua

《攀枝花市志》记载,1939年初袁复礼调查并发现储量1.3亿吨的攀枝花铁矿。经过对历史档案和当事人20世纪末文献的梳理,证实袁复礼1939年2—8月应西康建省委员会之邀,在会理县调查地质矿产,并未涉足盐边县攀枝花铁矿区,从而纠正了一段被误传的"历史",为确定发现攀枝花铁矿的时间提供了史料依据。

In accordance with the records of Panzhihua Local Annals, Yuan Fuli is the one who surveyed the iron mines in Panzhihua and detected rich reserve of iron ores of 130 million tons. On the basis of analyzing literatures in the end of 20th century, historical archives, interviewing parties involved, this paper evidences that during Feb-ruary 1939 to August 1939, Yuan Fuli conducted geology and mineral prospecting in Huili County upon the invita-tion of Provincial Committee for the Establishment of Xikang Province, and however, he has never set his foot on Yanbian County which is the iron producing area of Panzhihua. Thereby, it redresses a piece of uhistorical falla-cy^ and offers historical data in confirming the exact date of discovering iron mines in Panzhihua.
