This early 1900s photo shows the first process in smelting the ore, that is, melting the ore in a blast furnace in order that the iron may be separated from the earthy matter. A blast furnace is a huge retort built from fire brick, inside a heavy steel jacket. In the picture, you see the blast furnace behind the inclined railroad. It is 85 feet high. It is charged by dumping into it first a charge of coke, next a charge of limestone, to act as a flux, that is, to make the ore melt and flow more quickly, and then several tons of ore. The combustion of the coke is aided by a fierce blast of hot air, which is forced through it, securing a heat of 3000 degrees, which is necessary to melt the ore. The white hot liquid iron sinks to the bottom and is drawn off; the impurities pass off in slag and gases. Every 12 minutes, day and night, a charge is made by means of steel skip cars that run up the inclined railroad and dump their loads into the top of the blast furnace. The four tall steel tan
