the cost of power for electro chem

But in addition the various raw materials. such as lime. barytes, gypsum. salt. copper. iron. sulphur. etc. advantages if not essential are more directly at hand. Lime rock of excellent quality abounds in the neighboring mountains and the iron sulphides now washed in to the ocean as waste by the Treadwell. Gastineau and other local mines. yield readily to the treatment in electrical furnaces
 and are converted into sulphur for our plup mills. iron for our foun dries. while from some of the COnCcn
