"es' OF h1ehmond, large smelling Furnace is
now being erected, to be used for smelling Iron
ore, and making pig metal This furnace ia owned
by company, who have sufficient means for car
rying on largo business, aud as some of the
members have been engaged in a similar business,
in the mountains of Virginia, for years. there
seems to be no doubt that the enterprise will sue
ceed. Having consumed all the available fuel near
the Rockbridge mines, these gentlemen intend
bringing the rough ore to their new furnace, bv
way Of the canal, where coal is abundant and NAV
be had near their works. They think it much
cheaper to bring the ore here for smelling, than
to carry coal from here to the mountains and then
boat down the pig iroo. At the Mechanics'Insti.
tnte, IN this city, may now be seen fine specimen
OF the ore taken from Mr. Jordan's mines.
