THE FURNACE.

We are glad to know that the proposed
furnace scheme has so far progressed
that its success il almost entirely Insured.
All that nov remains Is The hearty CO.
operation Of every man in Phoebe Who
has any interest in the town. The me-
cessity for the furnace is clearly estab.
lished and understood. 1t now requires
but very little more TO make il success.
The projectors Of the enterprise have re.
ceived formal offer from responsible
aud trustworthy firm here to put up a
good durable furnace with a daily ca
pacity Of ten tons. furnished with oil
necessary appliances. all ready to have
the hres lighted. for the sum of $1,000.
This is certainly cheap. bu. as they pos.
sess superior facilities we have
not the slightest doubt but that
they will make their word good.
OF course It will not be very stylish
affair. there will be no frills or extra
touches about it, but they will guarantee
il to answer the purpose for which it is
intended and that is just what is wanted.
Everything in connection with the
project has been thought over and CAL
culated upon. Good coal, such as sells
here for 30 cents a bushel will be con-
tractsd for and laid down here for 2l
cents per bushel. Good sound wood
will be deliverd at $3.50 per cord. As
near as can be at present estimated it
will cost about $l6.O a ton to work the
ore. All those calculations are based
upon economic ideas. There will be no
fancy offices. no supernumeraries. no
idlers. Business is the sole intention of
tho managers. But it may be said "you
can't put up q good furnace such as we
need Tor less than $4,000" Not il!
everybody connected with it from the
Superintendent to the mason had TO get
his little divvy. but the proposed furn.
ACE will answer all the requirements at
one-fourth Of the cost and as there is
no job, no axe to grind. no one to
DO :" seen q" the matter can and will be
put through. "Whers are you going to
get the ore?" To any one acq TAINTED
with the district. such question would
hardly necessitate an answer, yet 1t is
asked every day. The furnace will be of
ten ton capacity. The following mines
can positively be relied on to furnish the
annexed quota for six months at least /:
Highland District. especially, for an in.
definite period; tAmerican Flag. 10 tons
daily; Washington and Creole. 8; HUM
and Hunt. 8; the Raymond and Ely can
furnish 10 or -. but at present throws
ont as totally unit for milling tons, so
we will count TINT mines quota at s.;
Chisholm. Is; Ely, s; Clinton and Will
lisms. 2; Rlves. 2; Highland District, OK.
elusive Of Hamburg. s; Hamburg. s.;
other outside mines, 7. Here we have
at Q very low estimate. over GO tons
day. 80 that objection is ovsrruled The
matter is in de6nate shape and will go
ahead. There was last evening 81. 100
subscribed. and whenever the amount
reaches S.. 900, ground will be broken
and the work commenced. Ore to the
amount Of $4,000 has also been sub
scribed. which will come in as q starter
when thu furnace is finished. 1t is an
exempli6cation Of the old fable OF the
lark and her young ones. Outside
promises having fallen through aud
proved valueless, the citizsns themselves
will put it through. Whatever light We
look at II in. it meets our hearty com.
mendation, and il there remains any one
who is still doubling Thomas, let
him 60 to the Court House tomorrow
night and have his doubts removed.
