Future Iron Interests.

The people of Winchester are 10 have a
Rolling Mill, or at least that is the state
ment we see currently circulated through the
press. The town has donated the site and
the parties-gent!emen from Philadelphia
have purchased the machinery for the estab-
lishment of this important industry. We
are pleased to learn that there is truth in
this statement, and that work will at once
be inaugurated upon the enterprise.
We hope the time is not far distant when
a similar industry will be established
in Staunton. There is no place in Virginia
more favorably located for such an enter
prise, if any that presents so many advan-
tages. We here are at the point of compe-
tition in freights, the Valley Railrod con-
Meeting with and intersecting the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, thus opening up
all sections of the country for market. and
reducing transportation to the lowest figures
compatible with the economical running of
the roads. A similar argument addresses
itself to all the material necessary for the
operation OF Rolling Mill. Fuel and pig
metal may be had at less cost Of transporta-
ton at Staunton than any locality in the
Valley. The line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad is one continuous section of
iron and coal deposits, and the furnaces now
in operation, and those which will be estab-
lished in the course of time, would furnish
the material at the very lowest conceivable
cost, to enable the Rolling Mill to realize
better profits than at any other point.
Staunton is the centre of an immense min
eral district, approached by the speediest
transportation, with other lines to be con-
structed which will materially cheaper the
original cost OF iron, by stimulating in
creased competition both in material and
freights.
The most superficial examination of this
locality, and the mineral sections tributary
to it, would convince any one who has a
knowledge of the advantages necessary to
successfully operate Rolling Mill, or any
other industry consuming iron, that Staun-
ton has, really, no competitor as to natural
advantages, and that business foresight and
Judgment must sooner or later recognize this
fact.
The fact is pressing itself upon reluctant
minds all through the iron regions of the
North and West that the elements which
enter into the manufacture of iron in its
crude and finished state, are found in Vir-
ginia at less cost than any other portion OF
the United States, and that with capital,
directed by experienced skill, more remu-
nerative returns may be realized here than
any known region. We are confident that
it is only a question of time when these
truths will be fully understood and acted
upon. An extensive Eastern iron manufac-
turer remarked to us few days ago, that if
all he had heard of the ores and minerals OF
Virginia were true, it was destined to be-
come the iron centre of the country, for the
iron districts in other sections could not COM
pete with it. And Staunton is the. centre
OF this centre, and must share in Importance
with the developed eountry which surrounds
it, and looks to it as the natural 0ntlet to mar
ket.
