evidence of progressiveness and foresight worthy of All Haanel has made a preliminary report to the minister of the upon whose recommendation the commission was a and in this report he pronounces the electric smelting process both economical and and strongly suggests adoption in this inasmuch As there is As yet no Plant in existence anywhere in which Iron Ore is Corine racially reduced to pig Iron by the electric this process must As yet be regarded in the experimental but it has passed beyond the experimental stage in that it has already been proved to be both cheap and entirely successful in furnaces not at All specially designed for the at in and at la Praz and in the commission witnessed experiments of which Haanel gives detailed at the two former places they saw steel made by smelt ing

purpose prove that furnaces specially designed could to Able to com Pete advantageously with the blast furnaces now used in Haanel says it treasonable to expect that As experience in electric smelting accumulates the design of the electric Furnace Best suited to the conditions of the hitch temperatures with which the metallurgist has to Deal will undergo changes which will reduce the absorption of electric Energy to a the electric Engineer will also be called upon by the new Industry to design electric plants specially suited to the conditions of electric smelting a when it is considered that the electric smelting process is applicable to the smelting of All other such As and that furnaces Are of such simple construe Tion and the regulation of heat Supply under perfect control we May expect that the near future will witness the application of electric Energy to the extraction of Metal from their ores will not he Long delayed and that familiarity with handling Large currents and experience gained in electric smelting will result in displacing some of the and complicated methods by comparatively simple and economic with the incalculable wealth of Mineral resources which Canada
