It is impossible to keep the stack always at | uniform heat, and consequently the iron varies in quality, it being divided into seven distinct kinds, the degree of hardness attained deter mining in what division a given lot of iron belongs. Both the Kent and Salisbury iron are shipped in con- siderable quantities to prominent machine works located in the eastern states and in the west and in the south. The process of converting the ore into iron is as follows: The ore arrives at the works in tw forms, known as wash ore and rock ore. The former consits of little chunks and particles and as it is is thrown into the stack to be melted. The rock ore is in the form of large pieces most of them varying in size from the bigness of a mans head to the capacity of a peck measure. The latter ore has to be crushed, and the cars containing it are run on the side track into a building, where there is a rock crusher made by the Farrell Foundry Co.,, of Ansonia. The crush CT is impelled by a steam engine and can crush 100 tons of ore in a day.
