Electric Smelling Of Iron Ores.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The preliminary report OF the commission
appointed by the Canadian government to
inquire into the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing
a plant for the smelling of iron ore by
electricity will not be deemed as illumnat-
ing or as exhaustive by those metallurgists
who had hoped to find in 1t more trust
worthy information than the desultory pa
pers scattered through the technical press
are able to impart Tn chief criticism to
be leveled at the report is to be found In
the fact that the experimental plant, the
operation of which constitutes the chief
topic of discussion, was not worked for
protracted periods under commercial con-
ditons, and that the efficiency and cost
data given are based on a few very good
performances which may or may not be
repeated In active practice. Realizing that
the conditions which underlie the electrical
reduction of iron in Europe must necessar-
lily be different from those which obtain In
Canada, it was determined to build a plant
at Sault Ste. Marie for the purpose of as
certaining the cost of electrical reduction
in Canada. Basing its stfmate on 10000
horsepower hydro-electric plant, equipped
with furnaces for producing 120 tons OF
iron during day of twenty-four hours. the
commission found result Of its expert
ments that a ton of pig iron could be mace
for $1,000. Assuming that furnaces and
accessories would cost 500 500 a charcoal
plant $50, GOO, power plant 10000 and
furnace electrode plant 5000, making a
total of $3.50 500, and. furthermore, allowing
Is per cent for depreciation, interest and
amortization, the commission figures that
the cost would be about $2.43 per ton Of
iron produced. Unfortunately this estimate
is based upon the production OF Az tons
of pig iron per horsepower year, which
was obtained only In one instance APP
parently no estimate is available on con-
tinuous operation under commercial con-
ditions for any extensive period
1t may be that a plant designed and OPP
Grated continuously on large scale would
be able to produce its pig iron at cost
within the figures given by the report. Stir
we are hardly justified In making that as
sumption on the basis of the experimental
tests conducted at Sault St. Marie.

12:3o o'clock this morning near Hoffmans. seven
miles east Of this city, while running at a high
rate Of speed. but no lives lost. The train
consisted OF seven express cars two horse cars
and three empty drawing room coaches. The
locomotive and two express left the
rails, plOughing across the tracks and ping
up on westbound track No. 4, blocking all tracks
until early morning. Nine horses were killed
and express agent almost miraculously es-
capped with q few cuts and bruises

the wreck, westbound, just one minute before
the snlash-up. Express train No. 81 west
bound. tagged east OF the Hoffmans bridge
and sent back to Carnan. where it crossed to
the West Shore
The wreck was undoubtedly caused by the
hshplates on the rails being tampered with No
other cause can be ascribed. as there are no
switches at the point under the bridge where
the wreck occurred.
Something like one hundred italian section

on thursday for higher wages, and marched
seven miles along the Centrals tracks Yes
