other engineering materials, the Mitsubishi Goshi Kaisha has for
mauy years paid special attention to the manufacture of iron and
steel, and has given much study to this branch of business. Since
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.
