MISSOURI IRON MOUNTAIN.

Oar attention has been arrested by the inter-
polaIion OF a somewhat novel item in the cata-
losue Of our domestic trade
Mcssrs. McKclvoy & Blair, whose very in
tcTtsing works we had occasion, lately, to mem
ton as Producing large quantities OF cast STEEL
German steel, and American blister steel and
Mes o. all descriptions, have been until recent
iy, consumers OF Swedish iron. They have now,
however, Iounda new source Of supply in our
own country, and we observe lurgc shipment
TO their address, OF hammered bar iron, has Just
arrived, which we find TO be the product of the
Missouri Iron Mountain rcgion-more accurate
ly, the pilot Knob
On inquiry, we learn from Messrs. Nickel
vey x b.air, that alter having tried all the diff
feren: kinds OF iron in the United States, sew
cral kinds Of British and Swedes, they take their
supplies from the PHO, Knob Company. They
inl it better for the MANUFACTURES of steel than
my Other iron made in the United States, and
MOI surpassed by the celebrated [hoop L.. Swe-
Pilot Knob, whence this iron is brought, i.
situated in Madison county, Mo, forty-fve
mics from 81. Gcneveve, and six miles from
tAe great Iron Mountain proper Pilot Knob
is about seven hundred feet high. and from the
elevation OF five hundred feet to the summit is
naked body of iron ore, free Of earth and stone,
singuIarly trayorscd and intcrsected by cracks
or veins, as ii in frcal; Of nature 20 facilitate
the quarrying and removal OF the treasure.
/ Inc property is owned and worked by
JOINT stock company, whose possessions extend
to 10000 acres Of land, which contain. in sinsu.
lar combination, al the materials required in the
manufacture OF iron. The ore, heavy growth
o, umberf limestone, q superior article of fire
clay, fine quarry Of marble, said to be eauai
and similar to the best Italian, are found togeth-
er on this single property.
The iron produced there is peculiarly suita-
bic Tor the manufacture Of steel, else it would
seem very Like carrying Goals to Newcastle
as . one Of the parties remarked, to bring Iron to
pittsburgh, where little else than bar iron IS
made As It is, we may now look for regular
shipments OF Pilot Knob iron TO Pittsburgh
