DEPERE ITEMs-A NEW FURNACE Co.
I'VE are pleased to learn that CO. part
nership was formed on Monday, the first
of March, by a number of gentlemen un.
der the firm Of the First National Iron
| Company Of Depere.
| The following gentlemen were elected
and constitute the Executive OF the Co
JONAH RICHARDS, of Manitowoc,
President
3. =. SMITH, Dcpere, Secretary.
| q. S. MARSH, 6 Treasurer
JONATHAN WHITNEY, Fort Howard,
ROBERT JACKSON, Depere, Directors
/ Work will be commenced by the first OF
April next, under the superintendent of
j. Z. Cameron, who is Interested in the
company, and has selected the furnace
| and kiln sites and furnished the plans
The furnace will be of the ordinary size
and form of charcoal furnaces now in use,
and driven by steam power. A steam en-
glne OF ninety horse power with blowing
cylinders and other machinery has already
| been ordered at the works of Jonathan
| Whitney, of Fort Howard.
! The charcoal will be manufactured in
brick kilns of Cameron's Beehive form,
and of the same size and capacity as those
built by him last summer and now in sue
cessful operation at the furnace at Depere
1t gives US much pleasure to chronicle
this new enterprise, one of the many
which we feel sure will follow in regular
succession until the Fox River valley will
be celebrated as the manufacturing region
of the State. Particularly in iron man
ufactures, we possess unexcelled advan-
tages, and as the supply of is not equal
no,o to the demand, while the demand is
constantly increasing, it is manufacture
which cannot be overdone.
From an acquaintance with the major
lty of the gentlemen comprising this COM
pany. we are satisfied that the new fur
mace will be pushed through with energy
and dispatch, and that everything con-
nected with it will be built in the most
approved manner. The general plan of
the furnace will be the same as, the ceIe-
brated furnace of E. Harrison & Co., of
Irondale, Mo. This furnace made, dur
ing the month of January, 7S4 tons of
iron, with a consumption of charcoal of
l02 bushels to the ton of iron (from 10 to
20 bushels less than the usual average of
furnaces. The ore used was 10 OF Iron
Mountain to ! of red hematite. Aver.
age produce per day, 25, 8 tons.
The FURNACE.-The hot blast was
shut off last Wednesday, and was not to
have been let on again until to-day. One
of the reasons for thissuspension of work
was an accident to the ore crusher last
week. The supply of ore on hand is not
sufficient to run the furnace to its full ca
pacity until the opening of navigation,
and there will be another delay of week
or two next month.
New ORE-Teains are engaged in
hauling iron ore to the furnace from the
opening six miles east of Depere. One
hundred tons were to be delivered there,
of which about sO.tons have been brought
in. The object is to test its quality
Green Bay Aduocate.
Any pretended Endorsement of any
lottery OF gift enterprise by The 7rii
batne is an impudent forgery. We nerer
indorse anything of the sort. Let this
suffice, and ask no more questions. We
haye neither time nor patience to expose
each little game of raseality concocted
in our City. IF you send money to any
of these gift swindlefs, you will lose
it, as you will have rickly deserved to do.
IF you imagine that any one can or will
give you SO worth of goods for 81. you
cannot know enough to goin when;t rains,
