INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
Yesterday the mills were all on full force,
and everything seemed, to be running along
nicely, though, Of course the men are not
working as freely as they would If they had
been at work for some time. They adj
complain about their hands and arms.
The Top mill will start their blast fur
mace in few days, and the balance OF the
mill is turning out nails 70 Is fullest
capacity, which are Immediately shipped
The boilers at the Belmont mill went TO
work yesterday, and all seemed pleased
with the Improvements made to their fur
naces since the stop. This mill has the
best arranged furnaces, both heating and
boiling, and also rolls, OF any in the city.
The men at this mill are all able to have
standing room now, since the heating fur-
naces have been moved out.
The Riverside yesterday had on nearly
all the nail machines, and were knocking
out nails by the hundred. At the upper
mill they are ALSO booming. no breaks
LAYING been made yesterday. The coal
bank hands were at work yesterday getting
out coal.
The following changes were made at the
Benwood mill, yesterday. The directors
held meeting and elected Mr.. Noise as
bookkeeper, in place Of w. W. Erwin, and
James Patterson, as Clerk at the blast fur
mace, in place OF Clarence Erwin. The
owners stated that the mill was run
ming full force, and that the furnace would
be put 10 work in a few days
The Creek mill has large number OF
workmen busily engaged in repairing their
coal bank, putting up new umoers ana
also fixing and enlarging the air course, as
they have been put to great amount OF
trouble in the last six months on account
of foul arr in the bank. They are now try
ing 10 rectify that evil, and from what the
reporter could learn from the men, they
thought that it would never be as bad again
as il was. Several of the hands working
around the mill had very narrow escape
from being hurt while hosting large bent
Yesterday. II seems that the chains and
supports were principally on one side. and
after this large bent had been partially
raised the supports on one side were not
strong enough to hold it and it fell to the
ground with a terrific crash. The men for
tunately got from under it, and not one OF
them received q scratch.
Workmen are very busy making some
needed repairs at the Sugar refinery. THIS
establishment is shipping large quantities
of first-class goods all over the country
The proprietors will not start their works
until the trade has opened up and grain
has taken a fall.
The Glass Works throughout the city are
extremely busy just now. Orders are COM
ing in every day, which work them to
their utmost cadacity.
In conversation with a large contractor
in the building line yesterday, the reporter
was informed that there was hardly enough
carpenters in the city to do the work now
on hand, and new contracts are being let or
offered every day. He further stated that
he had six houses now on hand to build,
and thought if the weather continued open
this fall he would get through before
Christmas, but he says the great mistake
OF the people of this section Of the country
is in all of them putting off building until
fall, and then every one OF them wants
their work done first, or they will 60 else
where and have it done. Why can't they
let US know through the summer months,
and then we could have the work started,
and not be rushed to death and not do the
work as well as il would otherwise be done.
Let the population of this city read and re.
fleet on the above, and they will certainly
see why some of their work has not been
done in first class order. 80

at the Poor House was completed yester-
dag, and the carpenters will start to work
on their portion of the work to-day.

We did what we could for cases that were

cases are really too bad. Apparently we
