Since the suspension of the steel mill only two blast furnaces are in operation, vet these two furnaces are making 1000 tons of pig iron each "A hours. This is a greater output than when there were five of the old style furnaces in operation. as 200 tons day was considered tremen- dous output.
 The furnaces in operation have been re- built from the ground up and every mod ern device and equipment has been in stalled.
