Excerpt from Mining Operations in the Province of Quebec for the Year 1908

Pig iron produced.. Gross tons corresponding to. Tons of lbs.

Henceforward, the two furnaces of Drummondville and that of Radnor will therefore be operated by the same company. At Drummondville, bog ore and charcoal are exclusively employed, while at Radnor, besides the bog ore, magnetic iron from Ontario and ore imported from the United States are used; consequently, the latter furnace only consumed tons of bog ore. Coke is also used in equal proportion to charcoal.

The furnaces use hot air. The ore is taken out by the companies or obtained from the inhabitants or from small contractors. The limestone is extracted in the neighborhood and the charcoal is manufactured on the spot in close kilns, using the wood of the region.
