With all the advance in pig iron prices
in re ent months and all the strain to
increase output and make the utmost or
prosperity while it lasts, pig iron pro-
ducers in this territory appear to have
been steadily defeated in their efforts. In
the first half of this year Alabama pro-
duced S19, 300 tons of coke pig iron. AZ
against S4S, $3.50 tons in the second half of
1906 Last month, the record month of the
year in all districts the Alabama output
was 143. 254 tons, more than 1900 tons short
Of the ,S04 tons made In October, 1895.
In the three months preceding October,
this year, the total pig iron output Of
the state was 800 400 tons; in the corre-
spending three months of last year, 3S7,9S3
tons. A years struggle to increase the
production has been practically without
results, though an entirely new furnace
has been blown in at Ensley and thirty
furnaces were active in September and
October, this year, as against twenty
eight and twenty-nine, respectively. in cor
responding months last year. The new
furnace of the Alabama Consolidated Coal
ana iron company at tdusueh i'ahy
waits for raw material to go in blast; at
the Thomas plant of the Republic Iron
and Steel company, the most modern FUR
mace group in the south, the output OF
the past half year would have been great
er had the ore supply been available. To-
day it is reported that two furnaces long
inactive are to be put in shape for oper-
alton. 1t is hard to see, under the present
transportation and labor conditions, no"
any more capacity can be made effective,
except at the expense of that already rum
ming Indeed, the spectacle of industry
in Alabama today is that OF being
whipped to a standstill by excessive pros
perity. Cost sheets tell the story. The
furnaces that can make $3.50 pig iron to-
day can be counted on the fingers of one
hand. and it is doubtful IL another equal
number can come within $40. while fur

Ii is a curious commentary on the
cheap labor of the southern iron indus
try, Of which much was written at ono
time, that machinery is being introduced
more and more to supplant common Ia
Dor. Conveying machinery, for example,
has been regarded as showing largest
economies In the north, where even com
mon labor is expensive. At several plants
in the Birmingham district equipment is
now being installed to do the work I-ere-
tofore done by the lowest-prlced work
men, This labor has become so expensive,
measured by its small performance, and
even at that the supply of 1t Is so much
short of the demand that telpherage sJS-
tens (as at the Ensley wire mills of the
Southern Steel company and lifting mag
nets for handling pig iron. billets and
other products, are being installed. More
and more the skip hoist and the bin
system of the north are coming in at
southern furnaces The casting machine
is no rarity, and where sand casting is
the rule no doubt the pig breaker will
soon find it's place. 1T is plainly the pur-
pose of iron and steel works managers
and necessity compels ito employ ma
chinery In every possible service in which
Ii will displace hand labor.
Climatic Influences.
In this connection q word should BE-
said on the effect of the Alabama climate

mon notion that managers, superintend-
ents and mechanical and metallurgical
engineers going from northern works 10
responsible positions in the south event
ually succumb to the de-energizing in
fluence of the southern atmosphere and
habit of life 1t has been argued, too,
that northern men taking up new posi-
tons in the south are apt to be defeated
in their efforts to increase the native
pace. It may be that there Is history to
substantiate this view. But 1t should also
be recorded that conversation with men
of northern experience who have come
to the Birmingham district has elected
emphatic dissent from the idea that the
northern desire to push things cannot
long survive in this climate. Here, as

Coal and Coke.

Coal washing is more and more prac-
ticed at the mines of the iron companies,
and modern jigging machines are being
installed instead of the old time log and
and trough washers. Better coke Is the
result, and lower fuel consumption per
tone of iron has come about from In
creased attention both to ore and fuel
But the occasional record of 25OO pounds
of coke to a ton of iron is not to be
given too sanguine Interpretation. As
a matter of fact, with the declining iron
content of lake ores and the higher ash
of many northern cokes, that figure is
not far beyond current fuel records in
the north. Few southern furnaces are un-
der a 3300-pound average and those ex-
ceeding that amount are numerous
Inadequate Railroad Facilities.
Wherever one goes in this district the
labor and railroad embargoes are more
and more in evidence. Steel manufact-
urers in the north, having connections
with double track. three track and four
track lines, can scarcely sympathize with
the southern shipper. The time has come
when these single track southern roads
must seriously consider the building Of
second tracks. Financial ways and means
must be found and the construction pro-
gramme must needs be extensive. Ala

therefore find a large market In the
next half dozen years right at home and

1t is plain that the southern roads have
not been as forehanded as the east and
west trunk lines in buying locomotives
and cars. 1t is a question if the car
losses from wrecks are properly allowed
for in providing for requirements 1t is
certain that allowances for the growth
of southern trade and industry have been
far from sufficient. Pig iron has been
piled up in furnace yards in recent weeks
because there were no cars available to
send it to the foundries clamoring for It,
Coke ovens have been idle because the
minues could not get cars. Ore supply
has been scarce for the same reason In
every direction are evidences of the pains
of prosperity that have made production
expensive and at times have almost par
alyzed the producing organism.
The Labor Problem.

Better Preparation of Ores.


1t is conceded that the mineral reserves
of Alabama have only been fairly
scratched by the present iron industry of
the state. AS time goes on some longer
hauls for ore may be necessary, but when
that day comes there will be better sort
ing at the mines, and concentration may
come to the relief of furnacemen who have
long been used to three tons of ore to
ton of pig iron. Today scarcely more
care in mining discrimination in the
use of the raw material as it comes from
the mine Is exercised by some producers
than was the case fifteen years ago. The
more important interests has discovered.
however, that labor expended here brings
large returns. One furnace man. whose OPP
erationS have been in the district north
east of Birmingham and in the Chatta-
nooga district, has been we'll rewarded in
increased pig iron output and In lowered
fuel consumption by putting pickers at
work to remove slate, gravel or other
foreign materials from the ores before
they leave the miles. The experiments
conducted by DR.. William B. Phillips In
the early nineties in the concentration of
red fossil ores suggest what may be done
eventually, though no practical use of
that work has been made as yet The
treatment consisted in calcining the ores
and rendering them magnetic prepara-
tory to being treated in a magnetic sep
arator. The iron content was increased to
60 per cent, but it was found that bri-
quoting was necessary to supplement the
process. In the case of the Alabama
brown ores, which constitute a small pro-
portion of the total, washing is en-
ployed at all the mines to remove sand
and adherng clay. r or the basic steel,
which it largely draws into wire. the
Southern Steel company will employ an
increasing per centage of brown ores.
Below are given typical analyses of
ores entering into the mixtures of one

New Values Look to the Future.
Yet the question may well be raised
whether some present valuations OF soutn-
ern properties are not to an extent anti
cipatory and whether account has bean
taken of the long programme OF construc-
ton that is still ahead, and of the money
and energy and engineering and manu-
geria1 skill that must be concentrated on
the problems now being attacked Values
of mineral properties have been under
estimated heretofore, no doubt, but IL
needs to be remembered in discussing thu
hundreds of millions of tons of ore owned
by this or that company that only DELI
mite amount of these ores can be untilize1
in any year. If these Alabama ore re-
serves are to last $50 or 200 years, as some
reckonings have it, the present worth Of
the ore that will only come out of the
ground at or near the end of the period
must be very small, or its future worth
must be very large. Compromising on The
basis of some estimates of present values
would bring us into the precious metal
class fifty years hence.
No doubt the negotiations between the
Steel corporation and the Great Northern
railroad gave the i1npules to the new iron
ana steel movement in the south. The
Hill deal suggested to men of large capi-
tai that the psychological moment had ar
rived for investment in Alabama ore and
coal, and in the plants already existing
to turn them into steel. 1t is significant
that following the rehabilitation of The
Tennessee company and the later consol-
idation of various properties into tho
Southern Steel company, both these cor
porations should have turned promptly TO
the buying Of more iron ore lands. The
acquisition of the Potter iron mines and
lands on Red mountain by the former
and of the extensive brown ore properties
OF the Georgia Iron and Coal company
by the latter, showed a keen apprecil-
ton of the need of safeguarding against
future contingencies that might come with
the Strengthening of rival interests. Al
lowing that the Potter acquisition was
bargain transaction for the Tennessee
company, it is to be said that 100000 for
200 acres of land, presumed to contain
6O,000,000 to 100000 tons of ore-about IA
cents a ton-represents a widely different
standard of valuation from some of the
enthuSia site estimates of Wall street ORR
gin.
