materials charged into the furnace. There is no mention of stoves or hot blast; so it appears that the furnace used a cold-blast technology. A cold air blast made it more difficult—but not impossible—to achieve a furnace temperature that allowed molten pig iron and slag to be run from the furnace, and avoiding what was known as a 'chilled hearth'. Cold-blast technology was used successfully in some colonial-era blast furnaces—notably the two furnaces at

Due to pig iron being an impure form of iron, the pig iron content of the ore was slightly higher; for the magnetite 71.8% and 58.1% for the hematite.

The half-yearly meeting, in July 1875, was told that the company had been unsuccessful in recommencing production or in raising additional capital. However, the directors thought it inadvisable to liquidate the company, until it found out whether the 'Launceston Company' had been able to dispose, at

A writer using a pseudonym, 'Blast Furnace Man', would later opine that the detail design of the blast furnace used by the company was to blame for its troubles. That is conceivably true, but the lack of technical and operational expertise in South Australia seems to be the underlying reason that the

Furnace operation resumed, on 28 November 1874, and apparently went well initially. However, the furnace had suffered damage due to the repeated cooling and reheating over previous months. Large cracks formed, through which hot furnace gases were escaping, becoming so serious as to cause the furnace

The choice of charcoal as the fuel limited the height of the furnace—and hence its overall size—because charcoal is not as strong as coke and its capacity to support the weight of ore and flux is less. This is important to ensure that the blast air can flow properly through the burden made up of the

By the time the results of the sales of the Tasmanian iron were known, the market price for iron had fallen further still. A meeting of shareholders, held on 30 December 1875, voted to wind up the company by voluntary liquidation. Its land and other assets were put up for sale by tender in February

The company was in financial trouble, being short of cash to continue operations. Messrs. F. Clarke and Sons made an offer for the company, and operations continued for a time with that source of finance. The furnace was relit on 15 November 1874, but reportedly with similar results to the earlier

The furnace was blown in on 16 July 1874, charged with hematite ore, and at 4 a.m. on 18 July, the first iron was run from the furnace. It was a promising start but before long there were problems. Obstructions consisting of half-solidified iron and slag developed in the furnace, as did build ups

There was an increase in pig-iron prices in the early 1870s, which led to the formation of a number of colonial-era iron-making ventures in Australia. A world-wide shortage caused the price of imported pig-iron to increase, from ÂŁ4 10s per ton in 1870 to ÂŁ9 per ton in 1873 greatly advantaging
313:. Despite producing iron of excellent quality using charcoal fuel, between January and July 1875, that company had difficulty disposing of its iron at an economic price; it planned to raise more capital and expand its operations, to be more economically viable, but that plan came to nothing. 256:" until another obstruction in the hearth grew to a size that the furnace needed to be shut down to remove it. Despite these problems, it seems that the company was optimistic about the future and, in early October, was tendering for charcoal burners to supply 12,000 bushels per month. 239:
The company was advertising for furnacemen and engineers in January 1874. Construction of the furnace site was well advanced by the end of April 1874. A progress report in May 1874, indicated that all was going well, and that they were aiming to go into production on 24 May 1874.

The colonial parliament of South Australia voted to give bonus of ÂŁ2000 for the first 500 tons of pig-iron manufactured in the colony. This bonus alone would allow the company to recoup much of the ÂŁ3000 that it had raised in capital to build its plant, and commence operation.

However, by then, the furnace site was no longer operating, and all the men had been laid off, after the furnace was shut down on 30 October 1874; that was the last of the furnace operation by the South Australian Iron and Steel Company. 248:—and who had a strong long-term interest in the economic advancement of South Australia. Although he appears to have had some knowledge of smelting, unsurprisingly for South Australia at the time, he seems not to have been an experienced iron-works manager. 132:
In April 1874, the company bought a total of 93 acres, (with a 44 acre lot being for furnace buildings, workshops, huts, sheds, &c.) of land for its furnace and works. The mine and furnace site was in area known as the Hindmarsh Tiers, near
