^TIHE FURNACE situated in the townfltip
& of Salisbury, and province of Connecticut,
New-England, having been lately rebuilt on the
most approved plan, all the conveniences about the
~ fame being either new or in good repair, together
with al! the utensils, and a compleat set of patterns
for hollow ware and other castings; the sole proper
ty of a piece of water from which the furnace is sup
plied, the area measuring 600 acres; a mansion-house
most agreeably situated, confining of four rooms on
a floor, a good garden and other conveniences ; two
other houses for workmen, a store completely fitted
for English and Weft India goods and provisions, a
compting-houfe, &c. a large barn, with stabling
for hurfes and oxen : Also, a property in the bed
of iron ore in said Salisbury, known by the Ore
Grant, with an exclusive right of digging, railing
and carrying away ore from another bed known by
Chatfield's Ore Bed, and the right of foil in a piece
of land joining weft on the Ore Grant, which con
tains iron ere; thele beds all lye within two miles
from the furnace (the roads good): Also 753 acres
of land, 300 of which is under improvement, and
the whole well watered, The premises are situated
• in a healthy, fruitful and pleasant country, on the
high road from Hartford to Hudson's river and Al
bany, distant about 30 miles from the river. The
quality of the iron made from the above ore is well
known, both in EnglanTand America, to be equal
to any made on this continent : The quantity of ore,
which lays near the furface, appears inexhaustible,
the country round is well supplied with wood for
coal, and the regular supply of water at all seasons
(without danger from floods) admits ofthe furnace
being iublakall the year: The iron is excellent for
pot-ash kettles, sugar boilers for the Well-Indies,
and military stores : The furnace not taking all the
water, any additional works might be erefted with
great convenience and final! expence : The rapid
lertlement of an extensive country to the north and
north weft, muk daily increase the demand for eve
ry article usually cast at a furnace : An extensive
trade may be introduced in English and Writ India
goods, out of which the works might be supplied
with dock and provisions, and carried on with more
profit than such brifinefs can be in a country where
there are few inhabitants.
Also to be SOLD, a compleat double forge,
with four fires and two hammers, now at work, to
gether with all necessary utensils, situated in Cole
brook, Connecticut, near th,e road from Hartford
to the Furnace, built in 1771 after the belt model,
with a good stream and head of water, and in case
of need (in very dry seasons) the privilege of a pond
of water 5 miles in length for supply of said forge ;
the like caution is observed to prevent the bufmefs
being retarded in winter, by having the wheels un
der cover, with large iron stoves, and canals cut to
take the surplus water. Adjacent to the forge there
is a dwelling-house, with four rooms on a floor, a
store and cellar, four houses for workmen, a barn,
cole-houfe, iron-house and blacksmiths (hop, all
built in 1771; also a saw mill and dwelling-house
at a finall distance from the forge, with good fitua
ttions for erecting other works on the fame stream,
together with 289 acres of land round the forge and
saw mill, about 50 of which are under improvements
The forge is situated in the center of a large trad
of wood land, Surrounded with a cultivated coun
try which is in want of bar iron, there being very
little refined bar iron manufactured in ConuuCticm,
and the confump+an considerable. This eftatp,
joined with that at Salisbury, is capable of many
improvements. For further particulars apply to
Mr. Charles Startin, merchant, in Philadel

New-York, Mr. James Holmes at the furnace,
Mr. Jacob Ogden at the forge, orCapt. William
