some 20 miles south Of this place.

Editor of W7sconsia Mirror. Ka5oars Cay:--
DIAN SIR:-In yoursptce last week Of my fur.
mace and the amount of iron made per week in it.
You committed an error in the anfohnt OF iron made.
The first week Of the blast we made l6l TONS and
30, the second week; and in hopes to improve in
the same ratio for other weeks
We are running with Cofd Blast, and making a
superior quality of iron. II you viii correct your
last weeks error funintentiona presumed in your
next issue, You will much oblge
Your ob't servant, JONAS Tower.
p. ST. send you sample OF the iron for nspec-
ion which you can show TO the curious to judge OF
its quality. j. Tower.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Tower is manufac-
turing to such an extent in the infancy of his enter
prise and shall be pleased TO notice the progress and
prosperity of the works. but we think he mistook
what we said in regard TO the amount. We at that
time knew nothing as to the amount manufactured
weekly, but referred TO the amount we understood
he was sending 10 our place weekly.
The sample Of iron sent TO us may be seen In our
Office. Without pretending to be judge of iron we
can only say IL appears to us to be good as any
pig iron we ever saw; and we hear that those who
are good judges say it as good. We are gratified in
these evidences that our neighbours persever
ance are to be crowned with eminent success P7s
Mirror.
DIR. SEKLEY, of the Kcnoska Water Cure, handed
us, few days since, specimens of iron from the a
bove Iron Works. The iron has every appearance
of being of the best quality We have shown it tC

and see whether they cannot get their stock
and cheaper than they have hitherto done.
