castings. For some time past they have
been making the only rolling mill cast

that, during the month of May, castings
were made there ranging from one pound
TO three tons in weight. They have a
cupalo furnace and blower, ofa new and
improved pattern, in which metal may be
melted in twenty minutes. 1t is capa-
