The surveyors are setting down the boundaries of a huge new $600 million steel mill that Pittsburgh's Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. will begin building next year on 6,000 acres of Hennepin land...

France's Usinor opened a 1,500,000-ton mill at Dunkirk in 1963, and a consortium of Belgian and Luxembourg firms is busy building a 1,500,000-ton plant on the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal. Even Portugal has put up an efficient small works on the water at Seixal...
