The erection of the South Pueblo works of the Colorado Coal and Iron Company was commenced in March, 1880, and within the ast few months repeated references have n made to them in our columns, short descriptions having appeared from time to time. We have, however, by no means given an exhaustive description of them, and think that the following remarks, together with the accompanying engraving, will form | an acceptable supplement to the information submitted on former occasions. The works consist of a Bessemer steel- rail plant, a large rolling mill, four blast fur- naces, a nail, spike and bolt mill, foundry, machine shops and the necessary accom- panying shops for repairs and construction. The blast furnace in operation at present is 65 feet high and 15 feet in diameter at the bosh; the hearth is 7 feet 6inches. Six Siemens-Cowper-Cochrane stoves for heating blast are used. These are each 56 feet high, 16 feet in diameter, and after the latest The blowing engines have already referred to, and will therefore receive The fur- lan. no further attention in this place. ! i S eupT s|woust | “| | | | TO OFNVER & PUEBLO PLAN nace was put in blast in the early of September, 1881, and has worked without a jar from the first, The average product mediately upon the cars and shipped. | week. it is located the puddling and nail mill. This building is 480 feet long and 50 feet wide. There are three double furnaces, heated by |gas, but in other respects operated like the old furnaces, In this are iron trains of the | most approved patterns and designed specially | for the peculiar uses to which this iron is to |be put. The balance of the building is occupied by nail machines and machines for making splice-bars, bolts, spikes, &c. four times that of the old style, and the full capacity of the nail mill will be 300 kegs per day. The marufacture of spikes and bolts has been going on for some time, the ma- chinery working in the most perfect order. The nail mills will be set to work within the present month, Besides the buildings mentioned above, there are the gas producers, the ladles and oven-house, the foundry, the machine shop, boiler-house and pattern shop. The foundry is provided with two cupolas, and its capacity ARTESIAN WELCY / | the rails move to the hot-bed and in natural order to the cold-bed, and passing through the hands of the ‘‘puncher” are loaded im- | The capacity of the steel-rail mill is 3000 tons per East of the steel mill and parallel to The | capacity of the puddling furnaces will be | FOUNDRY m7 y / = =~ Pee a !/ man Til ; The original and practical plan u | these works have been constructed produces one result that must not be lost sightof.

The ore supply in the State is confined exclusively to Southern Colorado and adja- cent to'the Pueblos. At present the supply is drawn from three well-developed mines— at Placer, near the Veta Pass, where there is a well-developed vein about 8 feet thick ; ‘near South Arkansas, where a vein crops running to the fullest capacity for more than them, makes the population run up between 3000 and 4000 [he company pay out monthly to their employees at Bessemer be- tween $50,000 and $60,000. The water sup- ply at the works is all that could be desired Besides a neighboring great lake, which serves as a reservoir and which is supplied by the St. Charles River and also by a water main leading directly from the water com- pany’s pump house, on tho bank of the Ar- kansas, via the works, a 4-inch artesian well has been sunk over 1200 feet, and a steady flow of 1800 barrels of water daily is the result.

The distance from the furnace Another blast furnace, fully as large as the| to the converting works is 300 feet, and one at present in use, is now in course of construction and well under headway, and its completion will afford a large increase over the present daily output of pig iron. The Bessemer converting department con- tains two Bessemer converters and the ne- cessary cupolas and cranes and engines. The cupolas and converters sit down low and are built upon solid masonry. The converting department is only 300 feet from the furnace, and the melted pig will be brought to the vessels in ladles, a locomotives, direct from the furnace. In consequence there is no use for the cupolas. They have been added simply to guard against failures and emer- gencies. The engines for the Bessemer de- ent are of the most approved pattern and of ample strength. The blooming and rail mill is 300 feet away from the con- verting department. In this department are eight Siemens regenerative furnaces, each with a capacity of 50 tons in 24 hours. The steel ingots are brought from the con- verting works and reheated in the Siemens furnaces. They are then rolled into blooms on the blooming train, and are cut by shears into suitable lengths, all defects chipped out by the 4-ton steam hammer, and then pass di the rail train. The latter is of the latest and most approved pattern. The rails on coming from the rolls pass to the four hot saws that cut a 90- | rect'y, without reheating, to | thence to the steel mill the same distance. These three are built in échelon order, and the melted pig is rapidly passed from one to the other, being transformed into rails with- out a halt. This was the theory ; its wisdom and practicability have now been thoroughly demonstrated, and thus are avoided two tedious and expensive intermediate stages— that of remelting the pig in the cupolas and of reheating the steel ingots. The metal having passed through the various processes, and having come from the rolls as a rail, it proceeds in a different direction. It is sawed, dragged to the hot-bed, where it is partially straightened. Then it is cold-strnightened and punched, and moved off toward the north to the cold-bed and piled. The switch that runs into the stock-house of the furnace asses by this point, and the rails are here oaded on cars. It will thus be seen that the melted iron never takes a rest, and is never twice moved over the same ground. From the time the ore is charged until it is loaded as steel] rails, it steadily moves on- ward without rehandling. The boilers for the converting works and the steel mill, and the producers which supply gas to the Siemens furnaces and to the furnaces in the puddling mill, are supplied with coal by an elevated railroad that runs between the | boiler-houses and the producers. | is dumped from the cars and shoveled into foot rail, as it comes from the rolls, | the fire-boxes from where it fell, rehandling {ato three lengths of 30 feet each.

A New Steam Engine Governor. The problem of successfully governing marine engines is one of considerable im- portance, and has already engaged the at tention of many of our most eminent en- gineers, and although much time and in- genuity has been expended in striving to produce an appliance that would give satis- faction, it cannot be said that the results hitherto obtained are flattering. Recent developments in our ocean steamers have greatly increased the want of an efficient governor. In a screw-steamer the whole load is placed on the screw, the latter being fixed at the extremity of a long shaft, which in many of our vessels is imperatively de- manded by special circumstances. In case the vessel is laboring in a heavy sea, the screw is at times wholly or partially lifted out of the water, and thus freed from its load ; with equal suddeness it is again sub- merged, and it is but natural that in tais way the appliance is subjected to the most violent strains. Of course, these strains do not produce fatal results at once, but they gradually pave the way for future disaster, and it is but too frequently that we hear of some accident or loss resulting from this cause. It will therefore be readily conceded that an efficient governor of some sort is in urgent demand. This governor should naturally be automatic, but this may be said to be hardly sufficient. The cause of racing | The Grafton-Jones Ste in marine engines is so sudden, and the re-|} sulting influence so rapid, that the engine | must be held fast before it even attempts to run away. The governor which we here illustrate, and which is known as the Grafton-Jones governor, is claimed to be automatic, effect- ive, silent, simple and durable, qualities which are well calculated to insure ite successful working and favorable reception. The en- graving which we present is a sectional view of the appliance, and an inspection will be found to give a very clear idea of the working of the several parts. The steam pipe is situ- ated at the bottom, and the leading feature is a disk placed in this pipe and connected by means of a rod and bell crank with the spindle of an equilibrium throttle or regulat- ing valve. If now we suppose the disk to | hang in the current of steam passing from the boiler to the engine, it will move for- | ward in the direction of flow and close the valve by means of intervening mechanism, which is very clearly shown in the cut. The extent of the forward movementis controlled by means of an adjustable spring at the upper right-hand side, so as to regulate the | admission of steam to the engine at the working pressure, or the number of revolu- tions desired, according to the load on the | engine. Having properly adjusted the gov- ernor, it is evident that, if the load or any portion of it be removed from the engine, a! corresponding effect is immediately pro- duced on the governor—that is, the adjust- ment will be destroyed, and consequently the disk will move forward and close or partly close the valve. If, however, the load or any part of it is again thrown on the valve, for similar reasons it will again open, owing to the reaction of the spring. The governor is claimed to be extremely sensitive, so sensitive, in fact, that when properly adjusted the slightest variation in the velocity of the steam in its passage to the | engine produces a corresponding effect on the governor. The latter, it will be seen, is entirely independent of the engine, requiring no driving gear, and is fitted in the main steam pipe like an ordinary steam valve. It can also be fixed in a vertical or horizontal position, or upside down, and can, while run- ning, be adjusted to any number of revolu- tions or pressure of steam. The appliance, it is said, has already been severely tested in England, and, though the trial was conducted under unfavorable conditions, the results were eminently satisfactory, apparently bearing out all that is claimed for it. me The published report of the Master Car Builders’ Committee on standard freight and passenger car-trucks is exceedingly interest- ing, and the diagrams which they give of the car-truck trusses which they have tested are full of instruction to the railway man. A | large proportion of those which gave out shows that the upper member of the truss is considerably too weak for the work it has to do, or rather that the lower members can be considerably lightened, while the truck re- mained of the same capacity. Allen trucks, with the diagonal or arch bar ¥% of an inch | thick, in the test crippled its upper member, while a similar truss built for the test with this member reduced to % inch, but with a % top piece, showed pretty conclusively that | this proportion was about what was needed ! for the work. The low truck of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road seems to have been the best proportioned of the lot, break- ing and crippling apparently taking place simultaneously. The standard truck of the New York Central evidently needs only a little modification to make it one of the strongest of any which were tested. The tests are of such a character as will enable car builders to design a truck having about the same weight of metal in the truss, but with an increase in the strength of probably one-half. It would have been very interest- ing had some of these trucks been fitted up with a channel iron for the upper arch bar. This would have given very much increased stiffness, even though the amount of metal used remained the same. It is hardly possi- ble to overestimate the value of such tests as these, and the committee, of which Mr. Wil- liam McWood was chairman, deserve the highest praise for the care with which their report has been made. a - Hardware Prices in 1814-17 and 1882. Mr. Wm. Canby Biddle, of Philadelphia, sends us some interesting information on the subject of the prices of hardware and certain staples in 1814 and 1815, which wil} be read with interest : I have some well-authenticated old papers that are good testimony. An association of ge Bae a A, Fee WAP SLL ULE UOC am Engine Governor. Friends in the years 1814 and 1815 were building the Insane Asylum, near Frankford, still so widely known and useful under the | fostering care of Orthodox Friends. The original bills are now in my possession. Prices of the following named articles are quoted from the old bills, and for conveni- ence of comparison present prices are also given as furnished by reliable houses, in- cluding Charles J. Field, the direct successor of William Wayne, whose bill of 67 years ago gives many of the old prices. 1814, 9th and roth mos.. nails, r2d. (‘‘ 12- penny”), per roo pounds, $9.16; 1815, $10.16 ; 1882, $3.60. 1815, 8th mo., 17th, floor brads per pound, 6d., 16 cents; 1od., 12 cents. 1882, 6d., 6 | cents ; 10d., 5 cents. 1815, 8th mo., 18th, sash weights per pound, 5 cents; 1882, 1% cents. 1815, 9th mo., 25th, 4%-inch door hinges, cast, per pair, 30 cents; 1882, 10 cents. 1815, 9th mo., 3%-inch door hinges, cast, per pair, 20 cents ; 1882, 6 cents. 1815, 11th mo., Ist, nails, 4d., per 100 pounds, $16.10; 1882, $4.35. 1815, 11th mo., 27th, rings and staples, per doz., 62 cents ; 1882, 12 cents. 1815, gth mo., 25th, 414-inch broad hinges for heavy doors, per doz., $7 ; 1882, $1.80. The above are staple goods still used and made, but of much better quality. Prices can, however, be directly compared. The great improvement in other articles renders the comparison slightly more difficult, as modern superiority has rendered the old ar- ticles entirely worthless for sale. Many could not now be given to any respectable builder, with obligation to use them, even if price was below zero; they are completely frozen out. The preferable articles which have supplanted them must be used for com- parison. 1815, 9th mo., 25th, blunt screws, 3, 75 cents; 14, $1; 1% inch, $1.25 per gross. 1882, pointed screws, 34, 19 cents; 1, 42 cents; 1% inch, 63 cents. 1815, wrought thumb latches, med., 33 cents: large, so |cents each. 1882, cast japanned latches, med., 4 cents; large, 5 cents | 1815, roth mo., 7th, springs (probably wrought), 144, per m., 50 cents; 1882, fin | ishing nails, per m., 20cents. 1815, wrought nails, per 100 pounds, 1od., $20. 1882, clinch nails, rod., $5.10 1815, 11th mo., 20th, mortise locks, brass knobs, $4.13 each 1582, mortise locks, complete, min. kn bs, 9° cents, IdIs, scotch sprivg, brass knob, front dvor locks, $6.70 each. These were without dead-lateh and escutcheons and screws, which would have added over $2.50, making over $9 each 1882, fine mortise front door locks, min. knobs, with dead-latch, screws and furniture, complete, $5 | In all these latter articles, besides the reduction in price, there is a striking advan- tage in the superiorit; of the modern article, leading, as regards screws, latches and locks, to a great economy in the labor necessary to put them in use, which is the chief reason | why the old articles nnot be sold at any price, as_I tested thoroughly with blunt crews offered at aucti Would any of these improvements and reduced prices have been made by the English manufacturers had they not been excluded by the operation of the tariff? Of course, I cannot answer | positively no; probably some concessions in Se ey a 4 THE IRON AGE. December 21, 1883, OGDEN & WALLACE,|4. B. Warner ‘& Son, OXFORD IRON CO., W. D.
