purpose, he said, was to keep the

the price Of the manganese in high
grade ores and that in the low grade
ores. Technical difficulties prevent
the suse Of the low grade material in
the manufacture Of manganese alloys
Silica and phosphorus in large
amounts render an ore almost worth
less for this purpose. For this reason
many shippers Of manganiferous iron
ores receive no more for the mangan-
ese than they do for the iron. Mangan-
ese tan replace iron to almost any ex-
tent in bed blast furnace Stag and.
in addition, increases the fuidity Of
the Stag. For these ores, running
from 5 to 80 per cent in manganese,
there is considerable demand from
the smelling companies. The great
need at present in the United States
is the opening of more high grade de-
posits and the development of methods
by which the low grade ores can be
concentrated. Considerable progress
has been made in milling processes
and one operator has announced that
he has been able to remove the silica
from . 16 per cent ore and make it
high grade concentrate. The pr1n-

divulged.
