Electric power for Sicily´s sulphur mines

Sulphur is one of the few minerals that Italy possesses and exports in large quantities, but since her practical monopoly in this ore ceased in 1905, when America began working the deposits of Louisiana and Texas, the conditions under which this branch of the Italian mining industry has labored have been very difficult and at one time disastrous. Since 1923, when an agreement as to output and sales was signed with America, there has been an improvement, but the export figures for 1925 again showed a decline.
