Tile mNEw . HARpER,s

THE "NEw - HARPER's FERRY.
g A correspondent of the Baltimore
San writing from Harper's Ferry
gives the following concerning the
" awakening of that historical but
somewhat sleepy, old town: 1.-THE
decline of Harper's Ferry dates from
the time of the raid of John Brown,
in 1859. 1t had then a population of
about 1000. 1t has now, including the
little towns on its suburbs, between
1000 and 1900 people. In its many
ruins and in the general dilapidated
condition of its buildings it still shows
plainly the rayages made by the late
terrible war. Its magnificent water
power, from both the Shenandoah and
Potomac rivers, has been allowed TO
run to waste for nearly thirty years.
One of the enterprises just establish
ed here III known as the Shenandoah
Wood Pulp Mill. 1t is located on the
Shenandoah at the southern eXtremi.
ty of the main street of the town,
which runs parallel with the river.
The company by whom 1t Is owned is
composed of Thomas III. Savory, John
F.. Quigley and VIM. Luke, of VII.
mington, and a Mr.. Armstrong, of
Philadelphia. The structure is 80 by
1903 feet, with height of 100 feet.
The mill has present capacity of
about thirty tons. Its immense ma.
chinery is operated by the water
stored in six pools in the lower por-
ton of the building, of 200 horse pow
er each, or 1000 in the aggregate
The pulp, which is shipped to Phila-
delphia, New York, Richmond and
other cities to be manufactured into
various grades and quality of paper,
is made of pine, poplar, birch and
other woods brought in large quanti-
ties from the estates of Henry q.
Davis & Co., in the vicinity of Pied
mont, w. Va. About fifty people are
now given employment in the mill.
The same company have large force
of workmen now engaged also in pre-
pairing the foundation for another
mill on the site of the old govern
ment armory along the Potomac. The
dimensions of the new building will
be lao by ITO feet, and will have a
