RAILWAY MAY REVIVE
DEAD IRON INDUSTRY

The opening of the Ofoter Railway
has brought the possibilities of again de-
veloping a Norwegian iron industry on
the tapis Once upon a time Norway
had some 20 iron works. which, however,
have been discontinued for a genera
ton or so. The immense iron ore de-
posts at LoUssavara and Kirunavara,
roughly estimated to amount to 500 co.,
900 tons. having been made accessible
through the new railway. the first and
necessary step toward establishing a
national Norwegian iron industry has
taken place; for while the North Nor
wegian iron ores on the whole are poor
80 TO 50 per cent iron-the North Swedish
iron ores contain 65 20 66 per cent iron.
The Norwegian iron ores generally have
to be worked under a system Of mag
netic extraction Cas in the DUnderland's
Valley or lave a richer ore added
about the same as is the case with the
German and French Minette ores. which
are found in large quantities in Luxem-
burg Lorraine. and adjoining districts
in France. A large portion of the North
Swedish iron ore is being used for mix
ing with Minette ore. Taking it for
granted that England Will not be in a
hurry to revolutionize its steel manufac-
ture and adopt to a greater extent the
basic process, Germany is likely to con-
tinue the principal market for the phos-
phoric North Swedish iron ore, while
only smaller portions will go TO Bel
GUM, France, England. etc The out
put Of less phosphoric ore Is not un-
likely to be increased, and for this Eng
land viii probably remain a good
market According to the present cal
culations 100000 tons are likely TO be
shipped via Ofoten per annum. making
a total of 25OO00O to 5000 600 tons OF
North Swedish iron ore. The consump-
ton of Thomas ore is, it is considered.
not likely to greatly increase. and there
VIII therefore be additional occasion 20

NERVOUS EXHAUSTION
