of pig iron.
In Eastern Texas and West-
ern Louisiana is to be found the
only territory in the United'
States where unlimitehl quanti-
ties of iron ore and natural gas
may be found in the same area.
Neither, at the present time, are
commercially used, and it is as a
dream of Midas that the two in
association may produce the best
grade of pig iron, the founda-
tion of commercial prosperity in
all the world.
That such a thing is not only
feasible, but is a demonstrable
fact, is the assertion of Charles
S. Bradley of New York, an in-
ventor of note, who has been in
Texas and paid Austin a visit in
the interest of his invention,
which is known as the “Bradley
Process of Reduction of Iron to
Steel.’’
As is well known, the iron
manufacturers of the East must
bring their ores from the Messa-
ba country and pay $1.40 per
ton freight, even when handling
it through the Great Lakes.
They must also use coke in their
reduction process, which is made
from anthracite coal. In using
coke they are using a fuel less
than one-half as effective as
natural gas, which can be bought
in the Western Louisiana fields
as low as 10 and 15 cents per
thousand cubic feet. The saving
in the use of natural gas alone
will be a large factor in produc-
tion, not to say anything about
the elimination of the freight
cost of $1.40 per ton, which
means really a cost of $2.80 per
ton, since the ore averages only
about 50 per cent iron.
No man can hardly contem-
plate the upheaval there will be
in the iron industry when the
proven fact is seen that natural
gas can take the place of coke in
the manufacture of pig iron.
Such a condition would mean
