works at Fargo state that it is proposed to
produce not common steels of the Bessemer
class, but steels which. with few exceptions,
are imported into the country and sold at ex-
travagant prices. Ingots suited for subse-
oueut manu- acture and car wheels will be the
first product of the works. 1t is claimed that
the car wheels will be warranted to run 200.-
900 miles, while the chilled iron wheels in use
are guaranteed for only $4,000 or less. The
furnaces are to be run by gas distilled from
