Fi&. 55. sketch showing method of handling ore at Abbott Mine, Lake County. According to this table, the cooling takes place principallyin the down-take and in the two brick condensers, the fumesbeing cooled to a temperature of 37.S- C, and moisture beginsalready to appear. It is to be regretted that the results ofsimilar temperature determinations on a modern Hiittner-Scottplant are not available. .After passing through the iron down-take, see description of furnace. «^ —
