The FURNAcE--We noticed several weeks ago
that Col. B. T. Jordan, an experienced iron man,
of Rockbridge, was endeavoring to organize a
company to establish Blast Furnace in the vi
entity of Waynesboro. We are pleased to learn
that sufficient stock has been subscribed to justi-
fly the conclusion that the effort will be success.
The immense deposits of various grades of iron
ere all along the base Of South mountain for at
least 20 miles, make this of the most eligible
sites in the Valley for an enterprise of that de.
scription. In fact, it was the opinion Of Engi-
neer Haupt officially expressed that there is ore
sufficient in that range o. mountains to Justify
fifty furnaces. We hope Col Jordan will push
forward his project, and have the Furnace spec
Oily in operation. Others will follow, and then
