eral Items.
Proceeding with his inspection of mil
and factory repairs, on Saturday, the REG
IsrEE commissioner reports as follows:
THE La BELLE MILL
has been thoroughly oyerhauled, and on
visiting the mill noted the following i'm
proyements: The new boilers, four in
number, for the forge engine were taken
in the mill and placed ready for Mr.. Car.
roll OF Pittsburgh, who is expected down
on Monday TO set them. These boilers stood
a test of $40 pounds in Pittsburgh and
are all double riveted. The plates, instead
Of being "a inches, are 40 inches. The ore
crusher, which Is at present on the west
side of the mill, will be removed to the
east side, shortly, which will give them
more yard room than at present. Manager
Linoh showed the reporter one OF the
finest pieces of machinery that has ever
been brought to this city, and that is the
Harris. Corliss engine, which is to be used
to run the nail factory. This piece of ma
chinery is a pulley engine, with not'a cog
wheel about il. The largest pulley wheel
is in the engine room, and measures % feet
in diameter, with a face of 3 feet inches.
The other large pulley wheel is situated in
the centre of the factory, and measures IL
feet in diamer, with the same face OF the
preceding one. The belt which runs on
these wheels is 200 feet long and weighs
1900 pounds, the cost OF which alone was
5000, which will give the reader slight
idea of the cost OF this fine engine. All
the nail machines had to be reset to suit
the action of this engine, those on the east
side of the factory having to be placed on
tho west and vice versa. A new floor was
m neW i ian structure for the La
Belle Company is fixed fact now. The
contractor will commence work on the LIST
of September. This mill will be built over
the old one, and instead OF being 90 feet
wide, the width Of the present one, 1t will
be IS feet, and will extend from street TO
street, doing away with the double wings
of the present structure, and forming
west wing instead. Should the mill be
started while the structure is i'll the course
of erection, it is so arranged that it will
not interfere with the working OF the mill.
THE FLAMING MILLS
throughout the city are not doing as large
a business, with one exception, as they did
this last spring. They claim that 1t Is par
TALLY due to the mills being shut down.
Mr.. Holiday stated that no Improvements
of anv importance had been made at his
establishment, but that trade for the last
few months has been better with him than
during any preceding year, at the same
season He accounts for il in this way
That large majority of his work is from
the country and the stoppage OF the mills
has not been felt throughout the country
vet; and further that the country imme-
diately around the city and especially
road, is being rapidly built up, and the Old
dwellings replaced by more modern ones.
At Beltz & Flading's industry the effects
of the strike are very noticeable. OF course
they are at work, but there is not the rush
that is customary at this establishment.
Everything is working very slowly as the
orders are not coming in fast and those
that are received are very small, Just enough
to keep them going.
Very little repairing is being done at
Armstrong, Coen & Co.'S planning mill,
which is the largest and oldest establish
ment in the city. They are only working
about two-thirds the usual number of men,
but as stated by one OF the firm, I'VE are
doing rs much business rs any of them, but
the trouble is just this what will keep them
busy hardly keep us going,
THE CREEK MILL /
is at present the only one running in the
city, and, of course. no improvementola any
magnitude has been made that has not al
ready been published.
TIKI CENTRAL GLASS WORKS
is running full force, but all the improve
ments were during the stoppage OF two
weeks about the first of last month, all OF
which has already been noted.
THE NORTH WHEELING GLASS HOUSE,
is large double brick structure, and is
quite an ornament to that end of the city.
Not only that, and Ii is entirely Ere proof
so that in the future the small fire bugs
will not be able to exercise their spleen on
the owners. This industry will be ready
for work and started in very short time,
and, as q work man remarked, it will be
able TO compete with any in the country, as
it has all modern improvements that are
known to be Of any great advantage,
Nearly all the works that have been idle
for the past two months, have been fitted
up with new machinery, appliances and
tools, so that when the fires are once light

pacity all along the line. The heavy crops
will give fresh impetus TO railway con-
struction, and with nearly all collateral
industries set astir by the same means,
there will be a heavy and steady call for
all kinds OF manufactured iron. This de-
mand may not set in for a month or two
but when il sets IN it will be long min
tained.-Philddelphia Iron.
A meeting of those interested in the pro-
proposed rolling mill at Brilliant was held
in that place this morning. There were
thirty.two persons present including cap
italists, nailors, heaters, rollers engineers
and miners. The meeting was organized
with Frank PrentisS, of the Top Mill,
Wheeling in the chair. A constitution
and bylaws were adopted. and it was re-
solved to apply for charter under
the laws of West Virginia. c. II.
Spaulding. and Thomas B. Taylor,
OF Steubenville, and Lewis Cloau,
of Wheeling, were continued a committee
for this purpose. Great interest was shown
and the feeling was in favor Of commencing
operations as soon as possible. The con.
Germ will be called the Spaulding Iron
Works, and will start with capital OF
100000 twill have one OF the best coal
shaftsin the country with 26 acres of sur
face and 500 acres of coal lands They pro-
pose having twenty boiling furnaces and
sixty nail machines and will make 4 big
boom for matters in that yicinity.-SItW-
