The largest collection of educational motion picture films depicting the mining, treatment, distribution and utilization of the numerous essential minerals ever compiled is in the possession of the Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce. At present, the bureau's motion picture library comprises more than fifty subjects visualizing the operations of the mineral and allied industries of the nation.
The more than 2,000,000 feet of motion picture film now possessed by the bureau represent an expenditure of almost $1,000,000. The entire expense of making the films has been borne by private industrial enterprises who have co-operated with the Bureau of Mines in this work.
Oil
A number of highly interesting films depicting the production, refining and distribution of petroleum have been made by the bureau. "The World Struggle for Oil," a seven-reel feature, visualizes the story of petroleum in all parts of the globe, from the earliest use of the material, as pitch, smeared on Noah's ark. The "Story of Petroleum," in four reels, begins with the location of a new well by the geologist, and carries the story to the distribution of gasoline by service stations. "Mexico and its Oil," "The Story of a Mexican Oil Gusher," and "Through Oil Lands of Europe and Africa," are other films depicting graphically the story of the development, by American capital and enterprise, of the oil fields of foreign lands.
