The New Process Of nnking ste.I.


: PrrrsBuReH, December 2s.-A practical
mill man speaking Of the new process Of
making steel as recently put in operation
at the works Of Moorhead & Mclean, Soho,
sayr: "That process is the best and biggest
thing Of the kind ever introduced in this
country from the fact that the steel manu-.
factured takes the place Of the fines.
Juniata iron. 1t is OF a uniform and
superior quality and there Is no lo2s at all
in the sticking or blistering Of the sheets.
The process is known as the SeimenH pig
and ore process, and the principal object
is to do away with knobbling and pulk
ding. / understand that out Of twenty
five ten-ton heats they have not lost q
pound Of STEEL"
Mr.. Frank McKenna, to whose efforts
the success Of the new process is mainly
attributable, has the following to say Of il:
"We have been very successful In working
the new plan Of soft steel making. Il will
undoubtedly have tendency to dispense
with the services Of quite number Of men,
as 1t obviates the necessity Of pudding and
knobbling in making fine sheet" He de-
clined TO give any extended description Of
the process on the ground that the firm
which had invested 80 much money in the
venture should reap the reward without
having competition from others,
