smelter which has been in construc-
ton at Perault, near Redding. Cali

to revolutionize the iron and steel in
dustry Of the world. The furnace of
the new smelter. tapped for the first
time, yielded so fine a quality of
metal that its success is said to be
guaranteed beyond all doubt. The
small experimental plant near there
is running in full blast. II is be-
lieved that the utilization OF the new
process viii result in California be-
coming the home Of numerous great
iron works. The necessity OF coal
and coke for smelling will be obvi-
