CALIFORNIA IRON.

THE Nevada Transcript the lack of California iron
industry, declaring while have plenty of iron
competition with Eastern iron poduc-
because the railroads will let
We this OF the 1t is
known that have abundant ortone counties IN

posts Fine iron was found at Clipper Gap IN Placer county
opened there. The Central Pacific Railway made
for the pon for in its shops that was very luca
owners ledge opened, using wood
smelling After quite extended and profitable operation
pinched Whatever the the
industry while the railway kept of the
seek overland freight the
why make iron though the ore abundant We have
defective smelling fuel and industry be permanently
coal for smelling limestone for Aux We have the
with limestone, but have coal Some
like that Clipper Gap of the finest quality With
yield profit plenty of
II. But lacking coal it is of no value.
Our manufactures would be greatly stimulated could
produce iron 1t the king OF the base metals The
structural and steel necessity in the building
trades We have discovered that buildings with metal skeleton
earthquake proof that of construction almost
universal local industry would effect economies in
'uude OF matters and would locate here the skilled labor that
employed the Fast in furnishing the supply need If
brought into action large increase the
value of mining industry would follow. Our limestone de-
posts would acquire value and feature would appear
e without smelling fuel Coal and coke rule the iron industry
Mixed with the cupoa the heat and fux properly
been found The discovery
Of fine fuel oil here has made coal unnecessary in steam plants 1t
has given great impulse manufacturing and agriculture,
because dslates furnish cheap for pump irrigation
Supplemented by the OF hydraulic electric
known and OF the easiest of transmission smeted
this cheap would Immediately advance
rank manufacturing State Railroad have nothing
do with smelling fuel inventive genius make crude oil
do the duty of coal smelling cupoa the problem would be
solved has been tried but the devices used did
diffusion OF the heat forms within which the smelling
is complete, but there is effect beyond that.
Heretofore all efforts have been directed diffusion the
cupoa No have inquired the cupoa the only
form which fuel and fux be properly coordinaed
smelling The cpoa has been accepted the of invention
that line So principle of the fail for hreshng grain
OF the sche for cutting long accepted the end Of
invention in those processes and much ingenuity wasted
the effort apply power the scyth and fail When invention
entirely away from those primitive adopted
the and cylinder for hreshng the ooted sickle
bar for cutting grain, the problem solved May
upon the California by changing the principle of
cupola another form? OF diffusion of the
existing should be abandoned impossible study
of combustion may accomplish it.
AS practical matter iron manufacturing industry would
stimulate by offering cash prize and large
invention that will practically apply oil smelling
genius that line will the problem all the
well join in this effort for oil valuable this will
that industry of the depression of which complaint is
line of light cheer will upon all
dustTies.
