n,ys, II /, demonstrated that The entire
district contains in abundance an ore
suited to the manufacture OF Bcssemer
steel. This ore ia nearer TO coke Cat Big
Stone Gar) than is any other Bessemer
steel ore known to me in America. From
the Bessmer ores Of the lake region, the
source Of nearly all the steel now made III
this country, to the nearest coke is about
800 miles; from the Bessemer ores OF west
North Carolina to the coke at Big Stone
Gap it is 100 miles, and between these two
extremes are TO be had the various ores
above described. Beyond the Blue Ridge,
in the Carolinas; are large deposits OF
high grade ores A very great develop
ment in the manufacture Of iron and steer
will follow up the completion of the roads
connecting the cokins Goals and Ores IN
the region under discussion.
"a Scoth iron manufacturer of large
experience, who spent some months IN ex-
aiming the Goals and ores in the district
extending from southeastern Kentucky to
Western North Carolina, estimates the
cost Of making ton Of pig iron at Big
Stone Gap at s. So: and thinks that Bes-
semer steel can he made at the same place
at "a low cost as in England. This esti-
mate agrees with estimates made by prac-
teal iron and steel manufacturers from
PENNSYLVANIA who have made large in
vestments at Big Stone Gap for the pur-
pose Of development.
Furnaces and Steel plants at Big Stone
Gap will have, in addition to the local sup
ply of Of coke, coal, and pure limestone,
the advantage of location Oh competing
lines Of railway, and the advantage OF
location on greet system that can deliver
the products direct to all ofthe great mar
kcts in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.
The ores from East Tennessee, Southwest
| Virginia, and the Carolinas can be ship
ped with advantage to these furnaces rs
it is CARRYING the ores in the direction OF
the markets, and these ores will give re-
turn freight for the cars of coal and coke
