mo. They have been known for
hundreds of years. The colonial rec
ords show that an exploiting party
started out from the town OF Sac
Paulo in 1890 and discovered iron ore
in the mountains which are about six
ty miles to the southwark. About one
hundred years later the gold fields OF
Ouro Preto. where the electric fur
mace is now, were opened up and the
iron fields were made known to the
world A large part OF the gold in
that district is found in connection
with the iron although more than
hundred years went by before we have
any records Of the irons being turned
into use. Along about the beginning
+, of the last century each gold mine was
producing it's own iron, some OF them
using the ordinary blacksmith's forge
and at that time a little smelling plant
was established which turned out iron
