St Louis Iron Co to test big roaster at Junction plant
The St Louis Iron Co proceeds with a trial of its 30 ton daily roaster at the Junction plant. A 75 foot long, six foot diameter revolving tube will process ore washed to remove impurities before roasting at red heat. A 20 ton pump and a $30,000 Westinghouse engine will provide power, with fuel from gas produced from coal. A spur from Waukon to the mines is surveyed with right of way actions planned, and the Iron Co will build the line and install ore cars and a gravity-assisted ore handling setup at the ledge.
