SUCCESS OF WESTERN lRON

WORKS.
Two xters1vc ManAfartorIes going
up In Chicago.
The increase of railroads In the West, the
hard service required OF tue iron ~ our lrn-
uense freight trains, and the fact that the
r,i1s manufactured at Wards Mills at Chicago
and Nyaudotte are superior to any others,
haye greatly increased the demand for the |
products Of both these establishments, which |
are now worked to their utmost capacity.
The Chicago Rolling Mills now employ two
hundred hands, have ten furnaces in opera- |
tion, consuming sixty tons Of coal per day, |
turning out about fifty tons Of railroad iron |
in the same time, which is more than ever
made before. Longer rails are being adopted |
by most Of the companies, to avoid "joints,''
and some Of the Eastern roads are Welding
two rails together. Those rolled here arc
usually twenty-fo feet long, averaging from
500 to $50 pounds EACH An imnense
Naismyth steam hammer, which strikes blow
Of seventy tons, Jet is SO perfectly under the
control Of the engineer tlat be can graduate
the blow SO as to crack nut without break
ing the kernel, has Just been erected here By
Chas. Kellogg d Co., and was first put in op-
Grafton on Tuesday Last. As BY the use Of
this hammer one heating and rolling are saved,
they will be able to turn out two hundred
tons more than formerly. Another hammer
Of the same Kind and size is being put up By
the same firm in this mill. The prope1ling
power is two tWo-hundred horsepower en-
gines, with tfy-Wheels eighteen feet in dame
Ter, Weighing twenty tons each, and making
one hundred and five revolutions per minute.

| thoroughly understands the business. Capt
S. Clement is the general agent in Chicago.
| In order to keep pace with the rapidly in-
| creasing demand tor railroad iron, Capt. E. B.
| Ward Las determined to erect another Rolling
/! Mill, Of still greater capacity, and purchased
| tract Of land for this purpose on Tuesday
| last, above the site Of the present works, and
| will at once contract for the building aud ma
| chinery.
Near the same locality, on the east side of
the river, Chas. Kellogg i Co., Of Detroit, are
about erecting extensive iron works for lnlnu~
| featuring iron and railroad bridges, engines
and machinery, and iron work Of I'll kinds,
| which establishment they expect to have IN
full blast IN less taan year from tnc present
time. This trm have enterprise, skill, exp7-
