OIL DISPLACES COKE.
Invention of a California Man May
Mean Much for Texas.
Austin, Tex., June 21—The Inven-
tion of a method by which crude oil
may be successfully used for smelting
purposes may lead to the early de-
velopment of the Iron ore fields of
Llano and East Texas, according to
advices that have been received here
from parlies who have been making
an Investigation along that line It Is
stilted that a Lok Angeles, t'al., man
has Invented a process for using oil
in blast furnaces instead of coke, and
that this Invention is now in prac-
tical use In furnaces in California and
Arizona. There Is no longei anv doubt
of the practicability of the new meth-
od. it Is stated The fact that oil is
far cheaper than coke, particularly In
Texas, makes the possibility of this
new fuel for blasting purposes of the
greatest Importance. The development
of the Llano and East Texas iron ore
fields has been retarded on account
of the excessive cost of coke It is
atated that the oll-uslng method Is
very simple. The blast furnaci, or
stack, instead of being vertical as are
all In which coke is used, are erect-
ed at an Incline for the oil burning
method. When till was tried in place
