In comparison with the amount of
ore brought from the mines to the fur
naces of other companies that deliv-
cred at the Richmond Works seems
small, but will be readily understood
when explained. The ore dumps now
contain about 5000 tons OF ore, which is
about all that IAN he conveniently
stored. During the month. the teams
engaged in hauling from the mine
have been idle about one-half the time,
giving the furnaces an opportunity OF
working of the surplus supply now on
the dumps. Beside the ore hauled
from the company's mine on Raby
Hill, a large amount ofou.side ores are
received for smelling, which also add
to the amounts daily received at these
works.
