American Steel and Wire Secures New Mine in Mesaba
American Steel and Wire Company has nearly completed negotiations for control of a new Mesaba mine and acquired 3,500 acres of coking coal lands in Germany township Pennsylvania. The move aims to supply its own coke and grant independence from local markets, with ovens under construction to prevent shortages. The mine also provides a mixing ore grade crucial to its wire production and could enable the company to enter ore sales if needed, though it will not sell coke.
