manganese-bearing ores came from Cuba. In 1941, Alabama furnaces consumed
an average of 2.450 tons of ore in making 1 ton of pig iron— the highest
average for any State.
 Maryland furnaces consumed considerable domestic ore in 1941, in addition
to ores from Africa, Brazil, Chile, and Cuba. These furnaces used an average
of 1.597 tons of ore per ton of pig iron; however, they used proportionately
more cinder, scale, and scrap than any other State.
 Blast furnaces m Ilimois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mmnesota, and West
Virginia handled Lake Superior iron ore and manganiferous iron ore almost
exclusively. Furnaces in Kentucky had the lowest consumption of metal-bearing
material per ton of iron.
 In New York the furnaces in the Buffalo district used ore chiefly from the
Lake Superior district, magnetite from New York, and some manganese ore from
Cuba, and the furnace at Troy consumed magnetite from the Chateaugay mine
at Lyon Mountain, N. Y.
 Blast furnaces in Ohio consumed magnetite from New York and hematite and
brown ore from Missouri, in addition to ore from the Lake Superior district.
 Virtually all the ore consumed in western Pennsylvania furnaces came from
the Lake Superior district. Those in the eastern part of the State used some
Lake ore; magnetite ores from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York; and
some ore from Africa, Australia, Chile, Cuba, and Spain.
 The Pueblo (Cob.) blast furnaces consumed hematite from the Sunrise mine
in Wyoming and manganese-bearing ores, chiefly from Colorado, New Mexico,
and California.
 The Provo (Utah) furnace treated chiefly semialtered magnetite from the
Iron Mountam mme near Cedar City, Utah, manganese tailmgs from Montana, and
manganese-bearmg ores from Nevada, Idaho, and Utah.
 The Tennessee furnace used chiefly Tennessee brown ore and iron sinter.
