Excerpt from The Mineral Industry of the British Empire and Foreign Countries: War Period; Nickel, (1913-1919) The following digest of statistical and technical information relative to the production of Nickel will form a part of the volume or volumes on the Mineral Resources of the British Empire and Foreign Countries constituting the Annual Mineral Conspectus of the Bureau. Although nominally covering only the period of seven years ended 3lst December, 1919, the digest will be found to contain more recent statistical and other information relative to the British Empire and to certain of the more important foreign countries. In this, the first year of publication, an effort has been made to fill in, as far as possible, the hiatus due to the war in the publications relating to mining and metallurgical statistics. Labour, health and safety statistics have been omitted owing to the difficulty involved in procuring reliable information for the war period, but in future issues these statistics will be included in respect of each year. Resort will also be had to graphical representation of statistics of production, consumption, costs and prices.
