The Ashland (Ky.) Independent says
that the Norton Iron Works, at Ashland,
have been rebuilt and put in operation.
These works were burned in November,
1888. The nail factory started up on the
9th ultimo, with 1876 nail machines, and
on the same day the company1s furnace
was put in blast. The company intends
to make pig iron for its own use in the
manufacture of nails. The best Missouri
and Virginia ores are used, and it is
claimed that from this mixture an iron
nail is made that for all practical pur-
poses is equal to steel"
