"Iron has been extracted in several parts, notably from the extinct volcanic crater of Jebel Hadeed (Iron Mountain) in ‘Abda, where at a height of 2470 feet the ancient galleries may yet be followed, and at “Ida-oo-ltilt” in Sûs, whence metal is obtained for the gun-smiths who have made that province famous."
