Of the 400,000 tons, 12 tons fell off the truck on the way to the mill. 10 tons missed the drop chute at the mill, and fell into a sump that drains to the evaporation pond. one pound was taken to the lab to verify the iron content. The rest went into a ball grinder, where it was reduced to dust. Iron recovered from this process was separated by gravity and a magnetic system into two piles. One weighed 200,000 tones, the other slightly less. each was sold to a hustler from Chicago, who in turn, became iron overloaded. Why?
