BIG SAVING In FUEL.
Successful Experiment Tried in the
Macbeth GlaSS-H0use.
MIXING AIR WITH NATURAL GAS.
A New Field for the Supply Of Ore
Under Consideration.
MAKING POSSIBLE A CUT IN FRE1GHTs.

An experiment was tried in George A.
MacBeth's chimney factory on the South
side yesterday, which is of very great i'm
portance to manufacturers who use natural
gas. If subsequent trials are as satisfactory,
something is promised in the way of saving
gas, which will put the meter system in the
shade and save shut-downs in mills and
factories when the pressureis low.
The new invention is very simple. It
consists of nothing more than the combina-
tion of air with the gas as it issues from the
burner, and by this combination using a
heavy percentage of the oxygen which enters
largely into the constituency of air. The
experiment made was with small, revolv-
ing fan on the same shaft that runs the
other machinery. A pipe from this con-
nected from beneath with glory hole and
ran up to the center of the burner. Hereto
fore it has required the valve wheel on the
gas supply pipe to be turned once and a
half around to supply enough pres
sure for the glory hole, but yesterday
when the air was turned on the wheel only
required to be moved one-fourth of an inch.
The usual pressure to a glory hole is one
ounce, while yesterday the pressure was a
very small fraction of this amount.
Mr.. William Root, paymaster for the
firm, who Is the inventor or discoverer of
this new saving process, said that by put
ting the air in all the burners the pressure
in the factory could be reduced to three
ounces where 16 to 20 are now required.
To-day further experiments are to be made
and the air supplied to other glory holes and
furnaces.
Before putting the process in practice and
fitting up their factory the firm will see the
Philadelphia Company and try to obtain a
reduction in gas bills according to the
amount used. Mr.. Root could not be seen
last night, but it is understood that he al
ready has patent on the process which pre-
vents others from trying it without his. con-
sent
Ifitis success the value of the invention
can readily be seen by all manufacturers, as
the cost of fan and the fittings necessary to
supply the air to the burners would be very
cheap and easy to put in. The saving in gas,
if anywhere near that predicted, would
practically settle the question of shortage
and inadequate supply.

A Company to Bring it Here-vaIuabIe De-
posits on the New York Central-It May
DispInce Lake Superior Ore.
The increase in the iron business around
Pittsburg was never better exemplifed than
in meeting held yesterday in H. E. Collins
office, Lewis block. of capitalists to consider
the best means of getting magnetic ore to
the furnaces at the least possible cost. As
the railroads. it was said, generally have
Disseminated against Pittsburg in the mat
ter of freights until Andrew Carnegie made
his attack on them, the principal subject of
discussion yesterday was to secure some
competition.
This is to be afforded by the company op-
Grating the Benson Iron Ore Mines at
Carthage, N. Y. The company claims to
have an iron ore vein exposed, 10000 feet
In length and from 5000 to 5000 feet in
width. 1t is regarded as the greatest de-
posit of magnetic iron ore in the world.
The most important point, however, in dis
cussiOn was the question of freights, which
coming over the Lake Erie Road, would. if
the arrangements contemplated could be
completed, set the ore down in Pittsburg
cheaper than it could be brought from
Lake Superior, and of fully as good quail
ity. The ore in the Carthage district is
of heavy, red character, very soft and
fully as good in the opinion of experts as
that from the Lake Superior district The
object in forming the Pittsburg company is
apparently to save on freights by getting
the shipments over the New York Central.
Lake Shore and Lake Erie lines. thus form
ing competitive run with the Pennsyl-
vania system. This is the first time an effort
has been made to place New York ore on
the Pittsburg market, and will be narrowly
watched by the furnace men who have long
contracts ahead

A BIG BOILER CONCERN
VIII Succeed the Old Manufacturing Firm

VIII Succeed the Old Manufacturing Firm
of d. W. C. Carroll & Co.
An old established boiler and tank manu-
featuring firm has been reconstruct under a
new title and with the infusion of new
blood. Captain j. W. Porter is associated
with other large capitalists in the erection
on Penn avenue and Second street Of a
large and well-equipped boiler and tank
factory. The works are being built for the
Carroll-Porter Boiler and Tank Company.
The officers are j. W. Porter, President;J. E.
Porter, Secretary and Treasurer;and D. VIC.
Carroll General Superintendent. The works
will cover about an acre of ground, the
main building being 21O feet long and 81
broad and constructed of iron and wood.
Another building will be 40x200 feet. In
every respect the works are being built to
suit their special purposes, notable feature
being the tower, 20 feet high intended to
house the large steam riveter which will be
nearly double the size of any now in use.
The latest and best machinery will be set
up, including bending rolls of the unusual
length of q feet. 1t is intended TO manu-
facture steam boilers, bridges, oil tank cars,
oil and water tanks, iron Orders, iron and
steel rivets and all kinds of sheet iron
works. 1t will take some little time to get
all the machinery in place, but the riveters,
rolls, shears, cranes, etc., will be in oper-
alton by the beginning of the year 1890.
The new company succeeds d. W. C.
Carroll & Co. Captain Porter, the Presi-
dent, has been engaged in the iron business
for a number OF years. Mr.. Carroll has had
much experience in the special lines of man
ufacturing which the new concern will un-
dertake. The company will employ 200 men
to start with.

The following telegram, clipped from the

a week ago, that Krupp was negotiating for
an extensive site for manufacturing pur-
poses near Pittsburg. The agent of KruPp

inducements from Pittsburg." The telegram
is dated Menasha, Wis, November 1, and
saws:
Herr Koenig Johan, who represents that he
is an agent of Krupp, the gunmaker of Essen,
Germany, is a guest of NJ. NJ. Schoetz, and will
remain in this city for several days. His visit
ostensibly is to examine localities with view
of constructing and maintaining plant in this
coun gry for the manufacture of modern guns.
He says:
I'VE can see money by locating either at
Pennsylvania, where iron and coal are cheap,
or in the West where the same inducements are
afforded, particularly Wisconsin or Michigan
It is too early to yet determine what will be the
ultimate action. have received very strong

a granger sentiment throughout the country
as will secure a reduction in the tariff on
wire rods at the next session of Congress,
and thus defeat the aims of the syndicate to
monopolize the barb wire business of the
country. They cite the results of their efforts
