THE EVENING NEWS.

RhC cunning workmanship InaI WI
saw. The building is of stone and brick ant
OF immense size, being not less than $50 feel
long by 10 feet wide, with 4 wing about Sc
feet long and Of the same width. Under the
guidance Of the clerk, Mr.. T. B. Storcr, we
first visit the basement Of the east wing,
where we find a fine engine, that at little cost
drives the machine shop lathes, planners, ETC.,
etc., turns the fan for the furnace, does the
work ia the turning and pattern room, and
in fact furnishes all the required power.
Adjacent is the pattern depository, where
may be seen patterns Of various kinds, from
= stamp die to n driving wheel, all cunningly
worked and placed in order for sec, nd use.
In the basement we also noticed a furnace
for brass smelling and n forge for working
various castings Directly overhead we visit
the pattern room, where we find a number o!
a~rtizans employed in making patterns Of
every conceivable form TO comply with the
recent inventions Of men who have made the
reduction Of gold and silver ores their study.
This room is large, airy and admirably
adapted TO the use TO which II is placed.
From the pattern room We pass TO the mould
ing room in the main building, which is
divided by stone and brick partition from the
machine and blacksmith ship At the north.
The moulding room is very large and excel
lently adapted 10 its use; al the west is the
huge furnace, capable Of melting six tons at
I blast, while over the entire bottom are
scattered moulds Of various pieces Of machin-
cry, soon to be filed with the molten iron.
Still further At the north we visit the ma
chine shop, which has a variety Of ingen-
iously contrived machinery, all running on Il
variety Of orders from our mines and mills.
In this room we noticed 4 doublc-headcd
lathe, capable OF turning a shaft Is feet in
length and with = swing Of 2. inches. A
reel lathe Of eight feet swing was revolving
with ponderous motion, while three smaller
lathes were executing the more intricate
pieces Of work that So to make a harmonious
whole. We also noticed a huge planer, that
works for twelve feet in length without re-
setting, and evidently is an excellent piece
Of mechanism. Upon inquiry we learned
that u large amount Of machinery had been
Just completed for the Merrimac Mill in the
shape OF stamps, battery, stems, etc. Four
mortars for the Pluto Mill have been recently
turned down from three and onc-half feet TO
one and one-half feet-a nice job and
splendidly executed. We also noticed a
"cylinder. borcr Of engines" just cast,
that enables the boys 70 bore any
cylinder in the State that needs rc-vamping.
Yet further at the north We find 4 commodi-
Gus blacksmith shop that constantly employs
two men a, its forges, and containing all the
necessary apparatus for annealing work.
The entire establishment having been visited,
we pass TO the outside Of the building where
We find any amount Of fine castings scattered
about, such as stamps, dies, cams, etc. and
here we could not avoid noticing several husel
settler bottoms, eight feet In diameter, apSl
weighing as much as twenty-siS hundr&

vast rs il is, is run and managed by the
Pioneer Foundry Association, being an as
ISOLATION Of workmen who know their use
iulness and their work, and knowing it are
bound TO succeed with any undertaking.
Each member Of the association is a practi-
cal man, bred TO the trade, and competent TO
do any required work, hence the establish
ment when IL turns out 4 piece of work, feel
Justly certain that rs far as human skill
avaiis, il is perfect in all its parts. The fol-
lowing gentlemen comprise the association {:

Clerk, B. u. Lincoln. B. Simpson, G. W.
Dickcy, VIM. Willis, II. Griswold, D. Miller,
C. Griswold, r. W. Burgess, J. Reader, C.
Fowler, Thos. Lane, y. p. Hornick, II. G.
Anderson, David Lawson, and J.F. Kelly,
all members Of the association and practical
men who understand the wants Of the coun-
try. The Association employ u number OF
outside hands, and from what we saw during
our visit we are convinced that the entire es-
tublishment is in excellent condition, and
forcibly illustrates the grand fact that home
industry can always compete with foreign
innovations, provided that the quality OF the
work is the same, and we believe the Pioneer
can and does turn out as good jobs us any
concern on the coast. We commend this
home business to q liberal patronage from
home Institutions.
VIRGINIA FIRE DEPARTMEST.-Consider-
able excitement has recently been had in
Virginia relative to the sale Of engines be-
longing to the several companies to the city.

informs US that for Sunday next at 2 O'Clock
r. ". he has engaged Maguirc's Opera House

WHO SENDS THOSE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!
So we inquired OF the good.looking firm Of
Ro,ener & Co., opposite Wells, Fargo &
Cos Virginia Office, as we yesterday chanced

With dark eyes inquired the price OF crinoline,
and Harry AZ once recovered. Those boquets

BrRsrED.-Yes,erday, while passing the
Bonner Shaft Of the Gould & Curry mine, we
noticed Thompson's timber-framer was no,
at work, and upon inquiry learned tina, it had
been found imprac,icaole. Some sPcriligious
cuss had written its epitaph in red chalk.
Sacred to the memory Of Old Thompson.
The only good working Trainer that has yet
been practically and successfully proved is
Hocholger's patent, now in operation At the
Savage mine.
