Approximately 500 tons of Utah , pig iron have been shipped from the Ironton plant of the Columbia Steel , corporation to the steel mills in Cal--(' ifornia, the officials announce. All of the iron is of good grade and suitable for making steel, according to L. F. Rains, vice president of the '' company. Production at the Iron- ton plant is well under way and everything pertaining to the blowing in of the furnace went off mora , smoothly than was hoped for by company officials. Although the furnace has perfor- i med well nnd is steadily increasing its output every day, it will be thirty thir-ty days before it will lie turning out pig iron at the standard rate of 350 tons a day. The capacity of the fur- ' nace is more than this, but it is believed be-lieved by officials of the company that a steady production' of 350 tons will insure a Bmooth working of the furnace and still furnish a steady tonnage of Iron to the California : steel mills. Those in charge of work at Iron- ' ton state that the local plant was put in operation with less trouble than any plant in their experience. Officials of the Columbia Steel corporation cor-poration have all expressed themselves them-selves as more than pleased with the progress of the work on the Utah iron plant and its showing. i |
