Show UTAH IRON ORE GOES TO FONTANA, CALIF. The Kaiser Co., Inc. steel plant at Fontana, Cal., now is obtaining more than half its iron ore from Utah and expects to continue purchasing pur-chasing large quantities of iron ore here for several years at least, A. B. Ordway, Oakland, Cal.. vice-president vice-president and general manager, said Tuesday in Salt Lake City. Mr. Ordway said his company now is developing the Eagle Mt. mine 50 miles east of Indio) Cal., but will continue to need Utah iron ore for blending purposes. Plenty of coal mined by the company near Surmyside, Utah, is available for shipping to the Fontana Fon-tana plant, ha said but it is difficult diffi-cult to obtain enough coal cars. Because of a large stockpile built up earlier, the company has not had to curtail operations as yet, he said. |
