NEW STEEL PROCESS.
Conuerting By Chemicals May ReUo-
lutiOni2e Trade.

What small number of experts who have
examined it say may revolutionize the process OF
converting steel from the cheapest to the highesf
grade is the invention which George E Pink
ham, of Norfolk. Va. who is now in this city,
has made after experiments of twenty-seven
years. Mr.. Pinkham is here to meet ". E.
Corey, president of the Carnegie Steel Company
who is. coming to this city from Pittsburs next
week. The new process which Mr.. Pinkham has
invented is based on chemicals To a Tribune
reporter yesterday Mr.. Pinkham said:
This process will make a better steel at a cost
of about two cents a pound than any steel
have ever seen-even that metal that retalls at
go cents a pound. BY its old steel tools,
even those that have been burned and are sup
posedly worthless can be made as good the
finest grade. Just by hand work l can trans
form two hundred pounds of steel day from 10
cent to 30 cent steel
An exceptionally interesting story is connected
with the invention. In 1875 Mr.. Pinkham, then
fourteen years old, found under old stone
house on Promenade Hill. Hudson, n. Y,
rusty knife He took it home and his father
cleaned it, On the bone handle were then found
the initials "A P" These, Mr.. Pinkham's
father said were the initials Of the lads great
grandfather. Abisha Pinkham. who built the
stone house where the knife had been found in
1892 and lived in it until 1870. The knife. there
fore. must have been lost for over eighty years
The curious thing about it was its remarkably
good temper, and this men familiar with steel
manufacture then said was due to its being
under ground long. Young Mr. Pinkham
afterward began experimenting. in the hope of
finding how to initiate nature in what he sup
posed was the tempering of steel Putting steel
in the ground at random at various heats. he
found that at times he got an excellent temper
and at other times none at all. Then. apout
twenty years ago, he began using chemicals
but not until bout four months ago did he meet
success Then, he says. he found that, instead
Of tempering steel he had learned about a
month ago how to convert 1t.
A number of large cash offers for his inven-
ton have already been made to Mr.. Pinkham,
both at Norfolk and this city, but these have
been declined. The inventor is so well satisfied
that he has an extremely remarkable process
that he is proceeding slowly. He is now in the
city chiefly for rest. which his doctor and at
rorney insist on. Mr.. Pinkham for the last
twenty years has been nachinst and super
intendent of the finishing department in several
large knitting mills at Hudson and at Norfolk
He resigned his place at the Elizabeth Knitting
Mills at Berkeley. near Norfolk, several weeks
