Jay GouId's Iron Consolidation.


[Correspo7dencs 10 Chicago Mining Journal.
IRoNToN, No., Nov. 1b.-One Of the
greatest iron mining and manufActur-
ing schemes ever known, was consuma-
ted in st. Louis few days ago. Its
object (no doubt) IL to control the iron
and steel interest Of the West. This
consolidation includes the Vulcan Steel
Works, the Jupiter iron furnaces, To-
Gated at Carondelet, the Grand Tower
Mining and Manufacturing Company,
at Grand Tower. ILL.,, and the we'll
known Pilot Knob Iron Company,
whose mines and furnace are located
at Pilot Knob, Iron county, Missouri.
The Pilot Knob Iron Company's mines
consists principally of Pilot Knob,
Shepherd Mountain, Cedar Hill, Buzz
zard Hill, Russell Mountain, Buford
Mountain, Shutin mountains, etc. The
Pilot Knob mine 10 well developed,
with three tunnels running into the
hill, one above the other; and, no doubt,
will soon commence their fourth tun-
mel, which will bring them nearly to
the base Of the hill. This ore is known
to be the best steel-producing In the
United States. It is . dense, hard,
blue, specular variety. This milne il
well developed. Shepherd Mountain
is partly developed, IL magnatite ore,
very pure, and il found In veins Of
large size and nearly vertical. Cedar
Hill contains deposits Of very hard, blue
specular ores. This resembles Pilot
Knob ores, and, no doubt, II part Of
the Pilot Knob deposit; and ID very.
much disturbed and broken. soms
parts of the deposit assumes the shape
Of veins. Buzzard Mountain ore II Of
the specular variety and resembles
the Iron Mountain ore. Russell Noun
tain ore Is the same class Of ore a. Pi-
lot Knob, only IL is said to be more soft
and richer In iron, but not - well
adapted for steel purposes. Buford
mountain contains specular manga
nese, mauganiferous iron ores, and IL is
said to be valuable for the manufact-
ure Of steel. The mining In later years
is confined to Pilot Knob and Shepherd
Mountain. There IL no doubt the Pr
lot tKnob Iron Company owns the most
extensive and best known deposits
and veins of iron and manganiferous
ores In this State. It can be easily seen
that the Pilot Knob Company's mines,
when opened, will be able to supply
the Consolidation company's furnaces
with all ores required for the manufact-
ure Of steel rails, etc. There il no
doubt it 10 good thing for this part Of
Missouri that this consolidation has ia
ken place. THos. BEARD.
