The Dominion Iron and Steel Com- pany, in whieh many capitaiists and investors in Western Ontario are inter- ested, was organuized in 1899 -with a capital of $25,000,000. Work was begun upon the buildings in July, 1899. The first furnace was blown in February, 1901; the second in Mardi, 190t. The other- two, makiing four in ail, are practicaiiv compieted. Their capaci-ty when completed will he 1,000 to 1,200 tons of pig ironi and 1,000 tons of steel per day. The qualitY of the iron mnan- ufactured is exceedinglY higli. The first two cargoes to Scotland were brought, into direct competition with the Gartsherrie and Somerlee irons, the highest grades in the worid and the Sydney one was declared equal to any- lhing produced. Aithough producing but for so short a seasoni,1 already shipments have been made to ail parts of Canada, 800 tons to the Ulnited States, 8,000 to Glasgow, while an order for 8' 00j more storod on the books.

T'he, transportation question with them is a smaii one as, the mannfactured products are shipped at the works f rom the comn- pany's own piers cirectly i n-to thle ocean steamers by the -quickest and most modern, lanor.saving appliances. Al vessels with iren or manufactured material go to the company's own piers inside thecomfpany's gates. The finished products are pig iron, steel billets andi finisheti steel vroducts.
