Sharon Steel Co.’s Furnace
          The Shiffler Bridge Company, of Pittsburgh, has been awarded a contract for the erection of a steel main building for anew steel plant that is to be erected at Sharon, Pa., by the Sharon Steel Company. The company is a new one which will go into the manufacture of pig iron and open hearth steel, in competition with the consolidated steel and iron concerns. A complete blast furnace plant, with one furnace for the present and an open hearth plant will be built.

          The plans for the blast furnace to be erected in connection with the steel plant have been completed. ‘The furnace will be 100 feet in height, and 21 feet in diameter at the bish, and will be constructed for a capacity of 600 tons per day. The furnace will be of the modern type of blast furnaces, which came into use with the blowing in of the first of the four new furnaces of the Carnegie Steel Company at Duquesne. Prior to that time a furnace which turned out 300 tons per day was breaking a record.  The pace in furnace construction set by the Carnegie Steel Company is being followed, and the general lines of the Duquesne furnaces, outside of the patented furnaces will be utilized at Sharon.  The furnace will have four hot blast stoves of the Kennedy type, each 100 feet high and 25 feet in diameter.  When this furnace is constructed it will be so arranged that another furnace of a twin design may be added to the plant and coupled on to the hot blast stoves and the power engines.

The contract for the engines has been awarded to William Tod & Co., of Youngstown, 0. They will be two 1000 horse power each. The construction of the new furnace will not begin until the spring and it is expected to have it in operation within six months from the time work on its construction is started, which will probably be in early March. —Pittsburgh News.
