The Kiirunavaara iron ore is not
suitable for smelling in charcoal fur
naces because it contains as much al
one per cent OF phosphorus. But at
Tualluvaara, about three (Englsh)
miles east of Kiiruna, bed of iron
was discovered in 1899 which contains
a very small proportion of phosphor-
us, but the percentage of iron of
which runs from 81 to 6sh. 1t is
supposed that this ore can be profit
ably reduced in the old iron region
of Central Sweden, and 5000 tons OF
it was mined last winter. Part Of this
has already been taken to furnaces in
Vermland. The government railways
offered reduced rates; but it was still
found cheaper to take the ore by
rail to Ofoten, Norway, thence by
steamer to Gothenburg, by barges
on a canal to Venersborg, and finally
by rail to the furnaces.
