MAKE STEEL IN PORTLAND.
First Glass Metal Reduced From
Black Sand.

The first steel ever manufactured
in Oregon was reduced in the electric
furnaces at the exposition grounds
this morning. SAYS the Oregon Daily
Journal. The ore used was the ordi-

BRIEF RECORD OF

Special
Correspon-
dence


mouth Of the Columbia river. The
steel was produced as the result of eN-
periments conducted in shed at the
rear of the old mining building, and
has proven definitely that iron can be
successfully reduced from the sands
by the use of electric furnaces, al
though it mas not yet been proven that
the work can be done on a commercial
basis. .
That magnetic containing IA per
cent titanium could be smelted so that
good quality of casting iron could be
obtained from the ore, was success
fully proved last week by the use of
electric furnaces, and today 1t was
proven that steel could be successful
ly extracted from the black sands
founo at the mouth of the Columbia
river although they contained 9 per
cent of titanium, the substance in the
ore which has always baffled smelters
when they sought to make ore in the
ordinary blast furnaces.
Never before have metallurglsts
been able to reduce ore containing
such a large percentage of titanium.
That new era in the iron industry
has found its. birth in Portland is
firmly believed by many persons who
have watched the progress of the ex-
periments in the rear of the old min
ing building, although C. H. Cleven-
ger, who is conducting the expert
ments is more modest in his claims,
and said that it has not yet been
shown that the ore can be successfully
reduced for commercial purposes. But
he is optimistic for the future of the
new process.
