The consolidation is the amalgamat-

Co under the name OF the Hanna
Furnace Co. with headquarters at
Cleveland. In addition TO the con-

cludes a comparatively small mining
property on the Mesabi range.

cality The new company makes the
interests more united and forms

people mine.
The Hollister mines are the Carpen-

two operatig mines can produce about
100000 tons OF ore per year. II Is
thought that the entering Of the Hol-
