Show IRON MILL McC mcclunes mcclures lures gives a superb account of cit edison Edi sons Is great plant for cavinor the tha particles 0 of iron and discarding tho the rock from a mountain in now jersey it Is simply expanding a laboratory test to the reduction loav of tons ton of 0 roc rock it per hour in it we suspect that sir mr edison has demonstrated more clearly than in ili anything else that lie he has ever done the direction in which his genius lies that ho he la is not an aln inventor but that lie li ono one of 0 tho the most on silbio ot of tru mechanics that he ca can take ft a thought T w aich was but a laboratory tet lit in some other mind and give it full materialization by overcoming the mechanical defects which in first arst hands surrounded it the boy runs it a through frh black sand and it picks up tile of iron contained in the sand now all that the wizard las bag sought to do Is to build machinery that vill reduce tons long of lion ore that la Is ore carrying martides par tides of iron per hour to holst hoist tho the pulp by a simple elevator to a height ot of thirty or forty feet act mid and let it tall fall to the ground and to catch the iron as it folls falls by immense magnets placcie beside where the column falls falla the genius ot of the thing thine la Is inventing practical machinery that will perform tho the tremendous work of reducing that much olin to pulp in a 9 given birne and we nae suspect that the only question of tho the entire practicability of the scheme li is whether tho the wear of the rnell will not be so great as to absorb the profit in keeping it going that we pm sume aume will depend upon how areat great Q percent a airo 3 of 0 iron there Is 13 in tho the rock it if the iron Is as M high as 10 per cent ot of course with every hours work there Is bavol sav oil 40 tons 0 of pure iron or tons every twenty four hours and that would pay MY for a good deal of ine inc but t tha to wear on machinery that reduces tons ot of iron ore to A powder every twenty four hours roust must bo be something fearful |
