The round top is perhaps three feet in diameter at the top, and about nine feet in the bosh or widest portion, the stack being built large in the middle, from which it gradually tapers smaller toward the top and to the bottom or hearth. The latter consists of from twenty to forty stones laid very compactly and symmetrically like the concave of a bowl.

Continually mixed with the ore and charcoal in the stack is a quantity of...
