The following statement was sent to
the Mayor by those most largely, inter
ested In the Cambria Iron Company :
The assets of the company are found
largely beyond Johnstown proper.
In their mining and cokeing operations
and their furnaces at Johnstown, the
rolling mill and the wire works known
as the Gautier department, and the roll
ing mills all have doubtless suffered.
THE heavy machinery of the rolling
mills leads to the belief that though
crippled, these mills are not entirely
destroyed. The company has no debts
