We yesterday visited The Stills Of this Company,
with Nr. E. W. srEFMENs, one Of the en,eprts,us
pt-priztors. We found an Inspection Of the i'm
tn=ns= works and the machinery in operation, truly
interesting, and some description OF them, especi
ally OF the process OF making RAILROAD lion, can
not fail to be interesting to our readers generally
The Crescent Mil!s,-situated on the South bank
Of Wheeling Geek, is one of the largest es,ah-
lishm=nts in tue United States for the msnuiac-
,ur- Of Railroad Iron. Better and Sheet Iron, and.
We NAV edd, one of the few successful manufac-
tories Of Railroad Iron in this country The Com
pony IS incorporated and owns in Coal nd lion
laacs and other Mine'al rights alone, 1897 co.,.
Il employs al present about 500 hands. The main
bal3iae is 400 feet long by iOOfeet vide; in add
ton 10 his, there sre numerous out buildings, nd
large " ar=house recently erected few hundred
yaris i.om the Mills and cnnuecied with them by a
Hallway. The coal is supplied from the Company's
lua=s ard deposited, at cost of only % cents per
bqsael. immediately at the mouth OF the furnaces
by Railways. All the water necessary 10 suppIy
tsU immense engines. and used for other purp, SIS
aHOutth= establishment, is carried by huge
pump 10 a reservoir 69 feet above rle bed of the
cT=ek, and distributed throughout Inc Mills. The
II chlnery is of the most Ponderous, We: perfect
Kind. The works are now III succr ssful opera
too, tnrning out weekly 240 tons of Rails, 90 tons
Of Bo..=r and 80 tons Of Sheet Iron; anil these
quantities. We are informed, could be doubled
without addi'ional machinery. This, in brief, is
outline Of the capacities of the Crescent Mills.
Tie proeess Of making Railroad Iron is won
deri4l exhibition of the power of machinery. An
Urinary I rail- when completed weighs 500 lbs
TIE mode Of getting il INFO beautiful, symmet-
Hcs, sDape is as 70 lows: The crude bloom of iron
Is tatei. from the furnace at white heat-passed
through rotary '.Squeezer''-comes out almost a

a,sE passing through nine OF ten grooves, assumes
ta=shape OF fiat bar. This is all done with one
1=s.ing- -Four or Eve of these bars, with only
on= note heating, are chen welded together, and
liz one piece OF some 600 pounds of metal for
Raj Is, 20. or q feet long is then no. and ready

lalas. HoS TIE saw dust-great, brilliant sparks
-loes fy! The rail is then subjected to few
strokes on a huge anvil, to suaighte IT, and is
thea passed TO punching machine, where two
holes are punched near each end, and-it is com
pIzte for the pathway of the lion Hose! 0, it's
gorons sight 10 see those s,alwaEt arms, and
the power Of Mind enthTonei in HAT pondetOus

lThe Boiler lion now made at the Crescent Mills
is conceded 10 be the best made The country. Il
