other engineering materials, the Mitsubishi Goshi Kaisha has for 
mauy years paid special attention to the manufacture of iron and

the Company bought the iron mine at Kenjiho, Kokai-do, Chosen, 
in 1911, it has gradually absorbed the neighbouring mines. In 
1913, when Taiho-men colliery, Heian-nan-do, Chosen, and the 
limestone mines at Kenjiho came into the possession of the Com- 
General View of the Blast Furnace Plant.
