Bar Iron made from iron smelted IN an
anthracite Furnace.
Tuesday the 9th inst. was proud and
glorious day for Pennsylvania. 1t decided
she long mooIed question Of BAR IRON
being made from iron smelted in an AN
THRACITE FURNACE. The trial was
made at the Cattawissa Forge, in the pres
ence Of several gentleman, with iron from
the Roaring Creek Anthracits Furnace,
made from the poorest Bloomsburg ore, and
succeeded beyond the utmost hopes of eve
ry one. A bar was forged in less time than
i. i.usuaIly takes to manufacture charcoal iron,
and several articles made from it, among
Others the most difficult, horse nails, and
what is more, FISH hook, with which a.
bout TWO dozen of trout were caught on the
same day, by Col. Joseph Paxton. The
iron is soft and maleable, and is pronounc-
ed by Mr.. Beidleman, of this place, who
has worked some Of it, and who is good
Judge, to be the best he ever saw, and ca
pable Of being used for any purpose fol
which iron is adapted. On the same day,
some OF the pig iron from the same Furnace
was converted into castings, at the foundry
Of Mr.. Maus, in this place, and succeeded
20 admiration. II flowed more free, ant
made softer and smoother castings than char
coal iron and it was pronounced by Mr.
Maus to he superior TO Scotch pig iron.--
Thus, has the great desideratum been set
tied beyond doubt or controversy, that ba
iron, and that too, Of the best quality, cal
be made out OF Anthracite iron, made from
Bloomsburg, Columbia county, ore. Tn
march will now bs onward, onward, unit
the iron and coal regions OF Pennsylvania
will become tie richest portion Of the Un
