Excerpt from Report on the Iron Ore Deposits Along the Ottawa (Quebec Side) And Gatineau RiversThe basis of iron manufacture is, of course, the raw material from which the metal is produced. A study of the economic features of the ore deposits, their geological occurrence, their manner of development, as well as their most profitable exploitation, will serve to furnish the practical manufacturer with the necessary data for laying the foundation of a new industry.It must be pointed out, however, that most of the iron ore deposits in the district under consideration have been known for a long period: some of them for over Sixty years, and that the establishment of an iron industry has been attempted more than once. The question naturally arises, why have these attempts failed? What are the principal causes that led to the abandonment of the economic exploitation of these resources? An answer to these questions will be found in the present report: in which an attempt has been made to bring to light all the facts, with a View of enabling those interested, to judge impartially the true economic bearings of this very important subject, The facts presented afford a comprehensive view of the possibilities for the establishment of an iron industry in at least two places where iron ore of good quality, and in large quantities, is known to occur. That the earlier attempts at Hull and Bristol failed, due to adverse circum stances, is no reason why, under existing conditions, the industry cannot now be made a complete success.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
