supply Power for an Immense Me-
taiic Reduction Establishment.
Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. August g.
At the falls OF the Great Kanawha,
some thirty-six miles above here, is a
great industrial enterprise that has in
it far more of interest that attaches
to the manufacturing of any ordinary
article of commerce. 1t is the Wilson
Aluminium Works. which are not, as
would be inferred from the name, en-
gagged in the manufacture OF any arti-
Gle from the lightest of metals. These
works are employed in the reduction
of chrome ore and the manufacture
of ferro-chormium. one of the hardest
of known metallic substances, which
is utilized in the hardening of the
steel of which armor plates for war
vessels are made.
When the Wilson company entered
the ferro-chromium business they
came to deal with an ore so refractory

Bile for its reduction. 1t became nee
essary therefore to obtain a site for
their plant where n great electric cur
rent could be secured at a minimum
of cost. For this reason the location
at Kanawha Falls was chosen.
Here New River, which is joined by
~ D-.T- 49,, fu-D pnffao nhnro
/ rushes over a precipice some twenty
six feet high. and is thereafter known
as the Great Kanawha. The fall
makes one of the finest water powers
in all the country, the figures Of en-
gineers showing that at the lowest
water stage 5000 horsepower of cleo
trioity is capable OF development.
Across the river. on top Of the solid
rock forming the falls, the Wilson
! company has thrown a dam to confine
the water to a desired channel, and on
the north side an electric plant of
1900 horsepower has been installed
and is now at work. The remainder
of The power will be developed by ma
chinery soon to be put in On the South
side of the river.
In the ~incalculable heat possible to
be kindled by this 5000 horsepower
of electric current the chrome ore is
reduced to feTro-chromium. or, as it
is usually called. ferro-chrome-
Now the ore gathered here to be re-
duced TO pure metal is not picked up

Chrome ore is found in a number ci
places on the globe. but there are many
qualities OF it, and his company re-
quires what is best suited to The
special purpose for which it is in
tended. that is which contains the
highest ration of chrome, ard the
smallest proportion OF iron. The ore
used here is from Australia and Asia
Minor, the most of it being from the
latter country. There it is taken from
the mines and carried many miles on
the backs of camels to a port on the
Black Sea, where it is put on shipboard
and sent to this country, coming from
the seaside to Kanawha Falls by rail
