THE IRON MOUNTAIN OF MIssoURI.-A wri
ter in the Toledo Blade describes the wonder
full Pilot Knob in tho following words This
nill is 500 feet high and one mile in circumier-
ence. The iron ledge crops out every where
upon its sides. Laborers are quarrying 1T in
open daylight on the mountain side, ms you
would quarry granite. From the inclination
of the strata, and every external indication,
the hill or mountain seems to be homogeneous
and of solid iron ore. II is what is called mi
caceous oxide of iron. Its relative weight to
pure iron is as 90 to 100. At the furnaces, 1t
yields under very crude management 80 per
cent. of iron. 1t might yield probably 90 per
cent. The indications of iron at the Iron
Mountains are equally marvellous. Calcula-
tions have been made of the quantity of iron
in those hills, (mere approximations of course,)
which make it amount to 100000, 900 tons;
quantity sufficient to supply one hundred mil
lions of people, with twenty -four pounds each,
for FIVE hundred years, if it were accessible to
them all.
