Description
The Society was founded on May 3, 1896. The founder was Christian Yakovlevich Tal. The authorized capital of the company is 18,000,000 rubles. The purpose of the society was stated: the device of an iron-smelting plant near the city of Verkhoturye; the construction of the “Ermakovskaya railway” from the Kushva station of the Ural railway to the pier on the Sosva River, with a length of 199 versts with branches (surveys of the Ermakovskaya railway were made and completed in the spring of 1896 by engineer Burkovsky); the device on the Sosva River of a steamship shipyard with 6 own steamships (three of 100 hp each with barges for delivering coal from the upper reaches of the Ob and Irtysh rivers for the need of a railway and an iron-smelting plant and three small ones on the Ob and Irtysh rivers). In June 1899, Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, during an expedition to the Urals, repeatedly emphasized the interest in this event, which is reflected in the book “The Ural Iron Industry in 1899” (Sourc: Wikipedia)
