Gently opened about 81 miles distant from
tho Forge. This ore bank is now being
worked with a breast front of twenty feet
and depth not yet asccrtained of the finest
quality of ore, SO compact and solid that il

Besides the new furnace now building, the
company will put up twenty-five tenemene
houses for the families of their operatives
during the year, which together with the
thirty or forty families now living on tho
grounds, win make quite town. Most of
this is attributable to the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad. Other furnaces in other parts of
the county will be built in the next twelve
