Northern Michigan Iron Furnaces

Negotiations are being made by local cap
italists for lease Of the Excelsior furnace,
situated just within the city limits of Ish-
peming, Mich, near the Pittsburg & Lake
Angelina mine. In case lease is secured,
the furnace will be put into blast immedi-
ately. 1t has been shut down since 1882.
There are twelve charcoal pig-iron furnaces
in Marquette County, and only one is now
running. The Pioneer furnace at Negaunee
is closed down for repairs, and will soon
start up. There is a more hopeful feelingin
business and mining circles, and it is likely
that several OF the furnaces now Idle will be
put into blast before January /.
