Abstract
The coal drier and pulverizer was used to ignite the furnace of the sintering machine. This is probably the site of the Ironton Sintering Plant. The low grade iron ore mined in the Cuyuna Range starting in about 1911 required a special process of sintering to make it more marketable. The Ironton Sintering Plant was built for this purpose and was one of the largest beneficiation plants in the US. The M. A. Hanna Company was one of the large mining companies that moved into the Michigan iron area in the early 1900s, consolidated smaller properties, and engaged in exploration for other economic deposits. It was dissolved in 1965, then resurrected in 1985.
