The low cost of making pig metal here

nor they may not have Investigated the
matter, Stone-coal metal can be made
here, and delivered on the wharf at Pitts
burgli, Mt q cost of S2j % u ton, netting a
profit to the maker, here, of S. 30 per ton,
IL so'd al u'aa, IL costs he maker, there, 20 pro

Thus you see, n furnace, here, costing
sSD,OOO, with capacity TO make 5000 tons per
annum, VIII yield n profit of $4,000, ad-
uniting that the cost only OF making metal
In Pittsburgh Is realized. The raw mate
r%ial-ore, coaI and l~imestonc-for n ton OF
metal, In Pittsburgh, costs, according to
their showing, So gi--the cost OF raw ma
terial, here, for a ton of metal will not ex-
coed Sl3 %. The great advantage we have
Is in the cost OF ore, which Is, there, SIC 80,
and here, 81 %, for every ton of metal. The
maker Mt Pittsburgh buys his on Lake
superior. Lake Champaign, or Mt Iron
Mountain, II the time, with frequent
handling, and expense OF transportation
makes the cost of ore enormous,
to one handling, and cost of transporta-
ton of forty TO flfty miles by rail, rs IL
would be here.
~ furnace erected last year, In New Port,
Kentucky, capacity 10000 tons II year, is
supplied with ore from Iron Mountain,
Missouri, and from a mine not tweatH mites
from this pitce. Coal Is brought from the
Kanawha river and Pittsburgh, and in or
der to keep stock on hand to run through
the "dry season." they must carry six
months supply ofboth ore and coal, while
here the iron maker never need have over
ten days stock OF rev material on hand
just enough to carry him through II break
on the railroad.
And our advantage does not end with the
crude iron; we can have IL also In the man
