Singa. il IS demonstrated that the entire
district contains in abundance IN ore
suited TO Tia. manufacture ri besseiner
steel. This ore il nearer to coke Gal big
Stone Cap than is any other Besseuier
steel ore known TO the in America. From
the Bessmer ores ofthe lake region, the
source Of nearly ell the steel now made IN
this country, to the nearest coke is about
500 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 steel
will follow up the completion OF the roads
connecting the coking Goals and ores, III
the region under discussion.
ga Scoth iron manufactures 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 $7.S6; and thinks that Bes-
semer steel can be made ut the same place
at as 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
vestments at Big Stone Gap for the par-
pose of development.
Furnaces and Steel plants at Big Stone
Gap will have, in addition to the local sup
Div of of coke, coal, and pure limestone,
the advantage Of location on competing
lines Of railway, and the advantage OF u
location on a greet system that can deliver
the products direct to all fthe great mar
kets 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, 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 Gap to those
States"

Limestone will cost at least twice as

1t is said that 700 tons Of Pocahontas
coke passes west through Bristol daily for
furnaces in the Alabama and Chattanooga
districts. This coke will cost from 1913 to
81. 50 per ton at those furnaces.
These facts show. the smaller cost OF
coke and iron ore at Big Stone Gap and
reouirc no comment. Coke can be deliv-
cred at the ovens here much cheaper than
these figures indicate, and still afford
large profit to the maker.
Mr.. John w. Darby, of Wcxham, Eng,
and Mr.. F. Monks, of Warrington, Eng,
members of the British Iron 4 Steel In
stitute, recently visited Big Stone Gap.
Mr.. Darby is young man, but has already
reached a prominent position among the
iron and steel producers of England. He
inherits his aptness for these industries
from ancestors who have been prominent
in them for a century. His grandfather
was the irst to make iron from knocked
coal, and his own plant located near Ches-
ter, was first to use successfully the basic
process for making steel. Mr.. Monks is
one of the oldest and best known OF the
nractical iron and coke men OF England.
"The very thing want TO see are here.
I did not care to see the manufactures in
operation, for we have those MT home as
numerous and as nearly perfect as one
could wish to see, although must say that
Ihave been greatly surprised and pleased
at the great concerns we saw in the Worth.
Their equipments are not so complete nor
their methods so economical as ours in
England, but they are rapidly approach
ing it. What those Of us who mean bust
ness wish to see in America is just what
/ have seen to-day at Big Stone Gap; as
fine coke as Ihaye seen in England, with
iron ores only two miles sway, and Lime
stone between, together water power and
railroads. This is q combination that ID
bound to make you great here, I have
aerer seen uequaled elsewhere. Your coke
is the best / have seen III America. The
brown ores We inspected to-day are ad-
mirahle adapted to the basic process. OF
course your proximity to the magnetic
orers at Cranberry is great card in your
favor, but you will mot need that TO make
the possibilities of this pointsimply meal
culable, We have been over large por-
ton Of the Southern mineral belt, and |
regard this ms the best point We have seen
for the manufacturing of basic steel,
owing to the quality and quantity Of your
brown ores and their proximity to this
coke. Ihase enjoyed MY dayhcre greatly,
aud hope can return soon"
Mr.. Monk spoke in thesame strain, say
ing he had been q practical producer of
coke and iron for forty years, and that he
he Ind never seen better coke; and the

Besides these there are also on railroaus

says:
"Extending northeast and southwest
through the western counties OF North

ores; from q number Of samples averaged

and Others. anlyzed from As per cent to GO
per cent of iron, and are, in Mitchell and
Ash counties, North Carolina, are remark
ably free from phosphorus and sulphur
Recent developments along line OF thirty
miles in extent prove the excessive nature
of these deposits. The only point where
these ores have as yet been reached by n
railway is at Cranberry mine in Mitchell
county, North Carolina. A few years ago
the great mass Of ore now uncovered at
this point was hid by a thick covering of
soil and decomposed gneiss, save only a
few surface pits from which a small forge
was supplied with ore. Within the past
fswyears the face Of the hin has been un-
