owe Seth 30, de. pesssn for services rendered.
This ingenious gentleman a'so gave to the City Of
Newark and 70 this whole country the process Of
making malesble ncn-that is, Of converting pig
iron cast 10 ary form whstever, oto wrought iron.
The advantage Of This discovery seen Ia the pro-
duc,ion Of the smaller ARTICLES Of hardware such as
Ne used in saddle and harness making, the intricate
pars of guDIotks telegraph insuators and parts OF
rres, va iety Of machinery the resping and moving
uschuer. cotton and wcelen machinery, meiodsous,
re.prsof asses &c Before this discovery these srti'
eles were made by the slew process of hAmmertng
Them cut Of wrought iron; and the labor being great
and the product small the cost of these articles was
leee,sariy very high. Bat by this process the pat
tens are nolaed in sand very rapidly, and with far
greater accuracy than could be attained with the
hammer and file. The melted iron is then rua into
these polds This cast.iron ware is conveftedb by
Mr.. Boytsns discovery into tough iron that may
be twisted and bent without breaking.
The history Of Mr. Boydens discovery is ] lst thus:
He G. Dee not pIetend 70 have made On original dis'
eovery since It was some maleable iron castings I'M
ported rem England by Mr.. Davis Bosch Ia 1925
which fred his mind with the immense advantages OF
the SIT and desire TO discover it. To think with
him is to do, and forthwith he began series OF ex-
perinents. In he course of one or two years ne
attained the de.hed rsss and opened foVndery In
Orange .tett on the spot where Mr. Daniel CondiI 10
now carrying on the business. In connection with MS
brother, Otis Beyden, and David Crockett, he SOON
stervsrd started another founcery in she Old Dis
iii cry ir High street. This establishment was alter
vsrd burned up, the FIRE being figure of the dis
coverers pecunisIy advantage in the making OF
ma liable iron.
At.t time part of the secret Of the business CON-
s,,ea in ,he supp osed fact that the malesbe castings
could only be SIDE from iron produced from he ore OF
The Starring Mine In Nsw.YoIk. The fact that the
two fopnderies in Ne~ak were the only ones In the
county, snd that the Sterling ore was The only ore
which &C MD be u.ed 10 making the wares induced
some speculstsrs who had purchased the Sterling
mine slso 10 purchase the Newark founderes and the
secret discovered by Mr.. y dsn This company WAS
named The Boston N slleabie lion Co npsny." Their
supposed NOR opoly was broken up by the discovery
that rtsn ores 10 PennsylvsDis produced iron which
could be converted into malesble as resdIy g the
Sterlrg ore The Boston company soon sold out their
neees and sirce then the business has been carried
on BY citizens Of Newark
Wben the discovery was first made the m.aeaole
iron castings sold ,dly a. from 30 to rs cents per
pound bat cow the price ranges from TO l6 cents for
q more perfect article. In Newark there are seven
founderies for mai ing maIeabe iron These estao-
Eshms ns sell their teles in unfinished state, that
is to the plating tories, those who use them in
manpf curing articles Of which they are part for
in star CO 70 the makers Of patent Safes reapes, &C.
They employ from 90 to 40 hands ia each OF these
establishments. There is another estabishmsnt that
Of Stephen B. Stwgs g. Co, manufacturers OF
"sadd,ery hardware" which has a fOuodery con-
nected with IT, for making such maiesble iron as they
plate and inish in their shops. This arm 10 do

Brsen 10 probably the lsrseet Ils arrangements are
very complete, and in order TO give our readers gen.
ers idts Of NE business, We may pws through the
vsri, rooms Of this founcery. The pig metal used
is made principally from the Salisbury Comm and
Sterling ores there furnishing not only tough srt-
Gle bur Q smooth surface. In the first room of the
Bru.n foupeery We found the molders at wsrk, form
ing the various articles in card. The raw pig iron ID
mslted in en- air or refining furnace, which removes
from il all its impurities and when thus refined is run
dnec into the molds. The castings thus made are
placed in Q revolving cylinder, and by rubbing
against each other are ceaped Of the molding sand.
This is n separate room, near the engine. From
this place they are taken 10 the annealtrg room,
where the snneaJers trim, select and pack them in
cast iron boxes the spaces between the castings being
flied with AL oxyd Of iron. Each box ia then tightly
covered With an iron plate and csrsf1lly lu'ed, he,
sealed Ground with clay some other substance, TO
keep the FIRE from reaching the castings. The boxes
are then placed il the sDpeaIg furnace wi ich in its
appearance somewhat resembles ordinary heating
furnace in a rolling mill When the boxes are ar
rarged properly the furnace is walled up tightly and
the heat applied for about seven days, and the work
is dore. /, seems to be simple process but If you
will take strrup iron as ii is cast from pig iron and
bgesk it Is eA,it IS pipe stem, and then one which
has been aaneaed and find it tough as horse nail,
you will own that this simple process is one of very
great vslue. II will be seen how much depends on
having the right ores, and then on properly refining
the men. II these paris Of the process are not care
fully attended TO, 90 imperfect result is secured
In the FIRE proof room of the Meesrs Bruen are de.
posted two thousand di6erens pstter of articles
manufactured into mslleable iron castings; among
them the spear used in taking whales the boarding
pixies paris Of gun and pist,l locks; parts of various
cotton, wooden, rssping and moving machines STIR
rups names and ali sorts Of saddery hsrdware parts
