Foremost among the causes which have
contributed to the closing OF the work, is
the scarcity Of fuel. 1t cannot be other
wise than that furnace that consumes u
hundred cords Of wood daily, together
with twice that amount Of charcoal in ad-
dition, should finally eat its way Into the
forest so lar that the expense of provid-
Ing for It's vorac'ous NAV would exceed
the profits Of its labors. Such we UNDER
stand to be the case here. And then in
addition to all this it is well known that
she fires that have formerly desolated the
forests in that vicinity have consumed
thousands on thousands Of cords Of wood,
and taking all together the article Of fuel
is becoming somewhat scarce. The com.
