silicon. The appellants claim that the
article Is not the pig iron Of commerce,
but is a metal composed Of iron and
silicon, and is used by iron manuiactu.
rcrs to melt with pig iron, and that it is
therefore entitled to entry at the rate Of
20 per cent advalorem under the proyi.
sion for "metal unwrought not specially
provided for"
The appraiser reports that the article
is ordinary pig iron containing about ten
per cent Of silicon and issued in mixing
with low grades OF pig iron to increase
the percentage OF silicon, thereby
strengthening the product, and that It's
value Is about one.third more than orJi-
nary pig iron. The Department has de.
cided that the fact that the article con-
tains larger proportion OF silicon than
ordinary pig iron does not remove 1t from
the category OF pig iron and has affirmed
the decision Of the collector, That Off.
Ger has been informed that the disllnc-

Iron Is made from combination Of iron
and chronic ores, while ferro.sillcon Is
