'Canada, apeak of v the teat llvin an
-electric furnace. Whlla nothing of great
' economic value waa broua-ht out. It la
- regarded a certainty that developments
. sln the use of electrical energy will In
due time utilise It for reducing ores.
:Thls furnace I patterned . after that
erected on Dollar Bay; Mich. Neither
"T 7has done anything that could be pro-
nounced a success yet. , but the spert
"menu prove that Inventor are a till at
, work on the problem of electrical- re
duction. The Boo paper, referring te
the teat on the Canadian aide: earn:
"Under the personal supervision -- 'of
t Inventor Hatch, the Hatch electric rur
l - nace ha been given another teat, -which
,u declared by expert to be a auceeaa.
" About 60 pound of lead or were
dumped Into the furnace and the beat
applied. . Notwithstanding the fact that
.' ' both th roasting, and smelting waa cer-
rled on In th same machine, -the pur
( Uad was run off In 10 hours. But 40
jf horsepower waa uaed in smelting the
. fore. -The cost of the smelting for this
ij,elaae of ore did not exeeed I per eeat
of the usual amelter charges.
"Many Improvements have been mad
i In -the new furnace. Other tests, eon
ducted by the Inventor and John J. Case,
; who designed and built th smelter at
' : Dollar Bay, Mich., were more success-
r-'ful- than- the - above. Mr.- Caa - prei
'., -nounced .the Works satisfactorywith
: one exception, and thl had reference to
', whether th furnace could be operated
, continuously. A number f Improve
ments hav been suggested and the
' - ar being made. When completed It Is
' believed the elec trio fnrnaoe will hav
" become on of th J greatest improve-
j ments of the age.
Scientists In the mining realm have
- : commenced to speculate upon th future
i. of this work, r When It was announced
' that two plant In -Arlsona, were smelt-
4 Ing with oil aa fuel, the engineering
. . profession thought- this would reault in
great changes, especially In th south'
.wut, where oil could be provided vastly
- cheaper than coke. But the probable
effect of successful smelting with elec
-1 tricity eauaes greater peculation than
. i th work with oil Klectrlcal energy In
, the northwest, where aplendld stream
,; abound, can be provided at a remarkably
. . low figure. If economic auceeaa is at
Ulned In thla process of ameltlng. - the
northwest' would become the moat re-
. markable reduction oen tar of th world,
; with Boslbilltlea that ar little dreamed
f tf now. But until electricity is a suo

law forbidding employment of Chinee

given that th Australian contracts for

were made in th strike day a, would soon
xplre, when th British Columbia mine
would enter that market again- on
large a seal aa before th strike. . The
udden notlc to such a larg fore of

Australian product has secured a firm
