Mct'ee's Furnace . Success-A New
..ra for TybO.
On Monday morning, September
26th, as promised by Superintendent
McGee, the Typo furnace was charged
with ore. All the people living in
camp assembled at the furnace to wit
ness the first attempt at smelling. At
precisely Z O'Clock A. NJ. the first charge
of ore was shoveled in; all waited with
abated breath to witness results. In
the meantime, between the first charge
OF ore and the first discharge of Stag,
Superintendent McGee, with his prac-
teal knowledge and eagle eye, care
fully WEIGHED every available perceiv-
able part of the entire wOrks-not a
thing cScaIed his no:ice-up and
down, from the top to the bottom of
the furnace building, the feed room,
the ore, coal, Tunes. walls, 1lues,
tweers-even to the smoke from the
stack; moi a curl or color went unnO-
ticed. After the furnace had been
charged about one hour, a nice little
smile, about the size of an outside gate
to Il barnyard, was observed creeping
owe his face, and from this the crowd
read plainly, "a perfect success, Ell
tlemen." And mot long had the crowd
to wait to prove his superior judgment
III ore smelling. Not two hours after
the first charge of ore was thrown into
the furnace from the feed room, the
superintendent took up q bar, tapped
the discharge, the Stag started, run
like melted tallow, and as clear as
crystal. On seeing the Stag, hats and
cheer after cheer went up from the
crowd, but no change in the Superin-
tendent was perceptible. Twas all
business and no mistakes with Me-; no
baskets OF champagne nor drinks in
his. Successful legitimate business
and no toolishness seems to be his
aim. Steadily on until this morning,
Stag running freely, and still Me,
without sleeping or eating, is at his
post, and at about six o'clock, the
well, holding between . and q tons Of
bullion, was full, and syplIon full,
and now lead dipping AMI brick max
ing is in full blast, and it can now be
quite safely said that ore smelling in
Typo is u perfect success. The fur
mace is of about 10 tonS capacii Una
CHI merry all new, and of a capacity
sutli cient to drive two more furnaces
OF The ann size of the present one. We
understand that another furnace is to
be constructed soon. Stone is now
being dressed for a refining furnace.
The intention is, l believe, to separate
the metals and use the lead over. by
so doing they will be able to smclt all
the various characters of ore that may
be brought TO II furnace. The plan
ming of the grounds, the furnace,
buildings, roads. etc., are accredited to
Cyrus Packard, II i'll the Judgment
OF practical furnace men, is the most
economical, handy and labor-saving
construction OF the kind in the State"
The railroad leading from the main
dump of the . & mine to the furnace
is Il perfect model and success; is a
quarter of Il mile in length, on which
ears are used, drawn by Il horse, that
carry 5000 pounds, one of which is
filled, hauled to the furnace and un-
loaded every fifteen minutes. The
car track is above the furnace, and by
opening Il trap door on the SIDE of the
car the ore drops into a chute and
slides to the feed-room floor, where no
more handling is required. The mine
