"iKON WORKS
FOR SALE.
IN Wythe county flare of Virginia, en
Cripple Creek about if miles from the Great
Kanhawa and 40 miles from the north fork .
of Holfton which fbrrh a tolerable fale
navigation to a prodigious feope of the weftens
country, where ptrhaps iron is in greater
demand than any otiur qiarter of the United
States.
Cripple Creek affords a fi;ffi iency of witcr
for both fsrge and furnace, being fed by bold
never failing fprings. The furnace and ail
the x buiidrng3 have been commenced within
4 or $ years—they confift of dwelling
houfes, kitchens, and a ftore houfe ; alio, a
large and convenient ftable- the forge his not
long been eon: pieced. It is fuppofed to be the
beft built forge in Virginia, being cut of choice
timber felled at proper feafens and executed
by a firft rate forge carpenter from Pennfyl
vania. It works three fires and two hammers,
is fixty feet long and fi'ty wide, wall covarrd
with joint fhingles. There are between j and
800 acres of jjjnd attached to thefe works,
fome of it of excellent foil, and any qiantity
may be procured within 6 or 8 miles for from
I to 8 dollars per acre—The ore banks appear
to be inexhzuftible, lying within one mi.c of
the furnace and good roads Frosi one of the
banks the ore may be conveyed by water
within 10 ftcps of the furnace, with the ineon*
fiderable expence of 40 or jodolhrs.
The quality of the iron is acknowledgod by
thofe who have ufed it to be equal to any J>
is particularly fought for by lock makers, faddle
tree platers, cutlers, &c.
The demand for iron in that country is far
beyond what is made, and is felling from 40 to
501. per ton. I have no hefitr.tion to fay,
contrads on not a very long credit can be had
for almoft any quantity year y, as from that
quarter a ccnfidcrablc portion of the weftern
country is lupr-licd.
