Excerpt from Notes on Iron and Iron Ores: Extracted From a Report Addressed to Sir William E. Logan, F. R. S., Late Director of the Survey
Carrying fuel. Duction, the fuel can be transported much farther than the ore. Charcoal is often carried from localities where wood is abundant, to blast-furnaces in the vicinity of mines, a distance of twenty or thirty leagues. This is done in part by water or by rail, but for the transport of the ores from regions not easily accessible at other times, sledges are much used in the winter, which becomes the most favorable season for getting both the charcoal and the ores to the furnaces, which are generally as near as possible to the mines. In some cases the ores are carried for distances of ten or more leagues but this is generally when there is a back-freight of iron or other materials. The wages of a carter, with his horse, vary from to per day, and the cost of transporting the ore is from to 9-6 cents the ton for the English mile.
