Mines and mineral resources

Coal Mine in Fushun, Manchuria. View 3 of a panorama of the Fushun Coal Mine, one of the largest open pit mines in the world. This mine was the foundation of a large industrial complex, since the over-burden consisted of shale which provided a cheap raw material for a shale oil industry. Included in the complex were a coal hydrogenation plant, an aluminum plant, and oil shale refinery and a large thermal power house connected into the power grid serving South Manchuria. Photograph taken during the U.S. Reparations Mission. Edwin Pauley was the U.S.
