BELLAIRE INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Things were decidedly quiet around
the glass houses this week, and there
was also a decided scarcity of glass
house boys on the streets, most OF them
being of down the river Gu a fishing
expedition. The factories are all quiet.
The warm rooms are being put IN
shape and the stock on hand stored
away. The Bellaire window glass
works are working on their new i'm
provements and their new buildings
are rapidly approaching completion.
At the Etna the furnace is being torn
down and a new crown put in, the
first time that this has been done since
the factory started. This one has lasted
much longer than they usually do. The
mold shop will probably go to work in
the morning if enough of the boys can
be found TO go to work. They are COM
planning about not having had long
enough to rest. They only have had
four days and they think it not long
enough.
A number of the boys from the Bel
mont Glass Works are encamped at
RDuller's, and are having an immense
'Ime.
The new Crystal Window Glass
Works is gong up rapidly, and begins
to look like first-clasS glass house.
They expect to be ready to go to work
in the fall.
The Rolling Mill has been making all
the time possible during the week, and
things up there are in good shape. Toe
boilers were not able to make full time
OF account of the heat. The nailers
made full time. VIM. Sharpe, mailer,
had one of his fingers badly hurt by its
coming in contact with grindstone
on Thursday.
Friday was pay day at the mill and
the boys were happy, OF course. Pay
day at the mill always gives the retail
business boom in town.
The derrick TO be used in boring for
gas has been put up out near the pres.
ent gas works. The con tractors expect
TO be ready to begin work this week,
and we will soon have natural gas.
Messrs. burst Il Rial have the contract
for sinking the well, and are gentlemen
who thoroughly understand their buSi-
ness.
