The furnace IS supplied with fresh
water from a spring Il stream from
which Is carried about 800 yards In
a large p'pe. This water is hoisted
by a steam'pump to reservoir just
above the works, and II furnishes a
supply ample for all needs. Econo-
my IN fuel is attained by the use OF
heated air and gas to propel the ell
glne. The ore beds are located
about ] miles from the works, and
easy grade between the two shows
that the transportation can be very
chesply done by laying a track and
running cars on 1t. Large quanti-
ties of the ore may be found in a
layer of from two 20 four feet thick,
and exposed to view in many places,
and covering an area large enough
to insure plentiful supply for many
years to come. 1t produces about
90 per cent. of pure iron that com
pares !avorably with samples from
Scotland, and other countries, and
is undoubtedly superior to the Os>
wego product. Indeed so tiattering
Is the outlook as to quality of iron
that a ready market may be expect
ed Tor all that can be produced.
The furnace runs night and day,
and at present furnishes Immediate
employment to some twenty-five
men, and produces from ten 70 ff-
teen tons OF iron every twenty four
hours: Ihls iron, on account OF It's
superior quality, Is worth IRON $50
10 s+O per ton; SO that the lucky
stockholders may be congratulated
upon the value OF their property.
Lime rock Tor the furnace Is brought
from the immense deposits on San
Juan aud Orcas Islands, and is used
at the rate of about one part to six
parts OF ore. The princ'pa. share
