suited 10 the manufacture OF Bessemcr

Stone Gap) than is any other Bessemer
steel ore known 10 me in America. From
the Bessmer ores of the lake region, the
source Of nearly all the steel nov mace in
this country, to the nearest coke is about
500 miles: from the Bcssemcr ores of west
North Carolina to the coke at Big Stone
Gap it lie 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 steel
will follow up the completion of the roads
connecting the coking Goals and Ores IN
the region under discussion.
! GA Scoth iron manufactures OF large
experience, who spent some months IN e1-
amining tho Goals and ores in the district
extending from southoastcrn Kentucky to
Western North Carolina, estimates the
cost Of making ton of pig iron at Big
Stone Gap at $7.S6; and thinks that Bes-
semer steel can be made at the same place
at az low cost as in England. This esti-
mate agrees with estimates made by prac-
tical iron and steel manufacturers from
Pennsylvania who have made large in
yestments 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 on competing
lines of railway, and the advantage OF a
location on greet system that can deliver
the products direct to all ofthe great mar
kets in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.
The ores from Enst Tennessee, Southwest
Virginia, and the Carolinas can be ship
ped with advantage to these furnaces, as
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
shipped from Big Stone Cap to those
States"
