J. w. WILLIS & Co, commenced on Monday morning the erection of furnace, and other buildings necessary for a reduction works, one mile east of the Quartz Mountain Quartz Mill, on Groom's Creek, about five miles south of Pres colt. They have several men employed and iu- tend to manufacture some 900 fire brick from the material found in the ledge mentioned by us last week. The process of making these bricks is by arrastraing the material, which is a whitish gray rock, after which it is moulded into bricks, tamped into the moulds. The furnace, or furnaces, for they are building a double furnace, or two furnaces to one stack, which can both be run al once or in case one is out of repair the other be kept at work. The furnaces and stack will require in the building 4 900 fire brick, 900 com mon .rick and two tons of lire clay or the pulp as it comes from the arrastra This latter is to bc used in laying up the bricks, and for tamping or grouting as it is sometimes called The principal object of these works is to reduce ores from the Uncle Joe, Lone Star, Benjamin. Eberbardt and other lodges immediately surrounding their loca- ton, but if they successful they will do custom work for any and all who bring thefI ores. This furnace is to be on the rererberaIory plan having a very tall stack for draft and will be used only for making base bullion. If it shall prove to be necessary to erect refining works, blast will be indispensable.
