excursion 10 Cadysville, where we found MIR. Cook,

from the limited appropriation, Mr. Cook was only

the generation OF steam, wh2 his arrangement con-
templates the erection OF four such fires Tor this pur

obtained is greater than he encouraged any 10 ex-

established, that in the manufacture OF iron In The

Mines heretofore valueess on account Of their re-
mote distance from water power, will now be found
of great importance. Among other recent discoy-
cries of mines we learn that " Mount Whetace" is
found to be rich in iron bay we not there

Ii would be difficult to describe the arrangement
without the aid OF drawings. Ii may be sufficient
TO say that il is as simple as effective. Az the ma
chinerv wears smooth and the mason work becomes
dry and hot, the operation of the whole process i'm
proves and is much better than when the commits
sonrrs saw il. The iron produced is OF superior
quality. We were shown several illustrations OF
lis frmness and tenaciy and brought away with us

Mr.. Cook is now pursuing the manufacture OF
iron by his process for the purpose OF asceralnng
the amount which may be obtained from given
