MARTINS FERRY INDUSTRIES,
The Buckeye glass works is running
every day and making eleven turns a
week. At present the lower furnaces
are the only ones running, but the
upper one will be lighted tomorrow
and glass making will commence there
in next week, increasing5the force of
employees somewhat. The production
consists of table ware, globes, dc. The
ware is shipped about as fast as manu-
featured. The statesmen on the road
are having good success and the IT.
look is encouraging. Next saturday Is
pay day at this works.
At the -Etna mill everything pre-.
sents i lively appearance with a good
outlook. The thirty'two pudding fur
naccS and the seventeen Flashing lur-
naces ale all working every dty anu
making double turn. The only trouble Is
thatthc capacity ofthe pudding dep art
mCnt is not equal to the finishing de-
Iartments, and on this account some
parts are compelled to lay off OCCASION
ally. Another heating furnace is being
built and some other minor improve
ments are noticed. The 4Etna is II of
the steadiest mills in the United states.
The many employees here recelV-i their
ducats yesterday.
The brick yards continue running
every day, add are having splendid
weather. McCord Brothers are turning
about 5000 per day, and say they don't
sell like they did last year. Wood
Brothers make about 1000 per day, and
have turned out about 10000 during the
season. They now have 2JO,0OO en-
gagged, a large number of which are for
the Wheeling water works.
At the ElsOn glass works trade is as
good as could be expected. The works
are running on double turl and turning
out large quantities of good ware, for
which they find a ready demand.
Among the improvements being made
is a new etching building, new pot arch
and mould oven. The pot arch is conf
pleted, and the oven and etching room
are nearing completion, Mr.. Smith
has returned from a successful Eastern
trip. Frank Crawford and Joen F!augh-
erty, of Bellaire, are the --latest adher-
ents to the factory. VIM. Ogle, OF Bel
laire to the show room, and George
Highaeld and Isaac Lilly, also of Bel
laire, to the packing department. The
force of hands has been considerably ill.,
creased during the incre isiug trade.
Yesterday was pay day. n general
line of ware is being made.
S,,,,nn GnrVg,- \. ~ ra1nrt tho At a va
trade splendid, and never lose a day
unless by the moulders laying off.
Holdings miners are working about
half time, aud sometimes five days q
week.
Warwood, the tool and rake manu-
facturer, reports q good demand for
tools, and says they ale making good
time.
TIE blast furnace, which has been
idle for the past month, will resume
about the 18th, and run steadily there
iIom. The stoppage was brought about
by the demand. Some minor improve
nients have been made. The furnace
is receiving 1000 tons of foreign ore.
Mr.. James Peterson, the clever book
keeper, is taking in the East during the
sloppage.
Ks the season is about over, very lit
tie is being done at the Agricultural
Works. They report the season a poor
one, owing to the crops.
The Laughlin mill is again booming.
Eleven turns are made every week, and
large quantities of nails are turned out.
Seven heats are made by the day turn
and eight by the night turn at the heat
ing department. Two new blueing
furnaces have just been erected, and
will start tomorrow, and two more will
be built at an early day. The boys here
are proud of the very quick turns they
make. The new brick office being
erected will cost about $1,000, and will
be a credit to the mill. The shipments
are large, and everything moves along
nicely. The employees received their
ducats yesterday. Thursday has Eere-
tofole been pay day here. Chief En-
gineer VIM. Ford will shortly be pre-
sented with a fine suit of clothes by the
company as a mark Of appreciation.
Mr.. Ford is an excellent man for the
place, and certainly deserves the token.
The Martins Ferry stove works con-
tinues making full time with a good
demand. Mr.. Il. II. Thompson, man
ager, has resigned TO take charge oil a
foundry at Beaver Falls.
AT the Standard mill double time is
made and the different departments
are all making excellent time. The
Altmyer patent smoke consuming fur
mace recently erected as a matter OF
experiment has proven a complete sue
cess. Out ofthis furnace a heat is made
in seven hours, which is remarkable.
Then besides this great improvement
over the old furnace the yield is con-
siderable larger. Those working it
think it is the boss furnace. More will
likely be put up. Ghe engine at this
mill is said to be u OF the smoothest
running and best in this section of the
country. 1t is in constant operation
from 4 A. NJ. to II p. NJ. every day, and
has n~evercaused q moments delay of
the mill by breakage or getting out of
order since it started last spring. The
engineers, Messrs. John Hallet and ].
l.. Taylor, are very proud Of it. Not
one roll has been broken at the mill
yet, and on this account the company
should feel happy.
The Union is busy on tumblers,
wines. shades and other ware. Pros
upcts good.
