Built on a Pile OF Burning Cinders.

1t has been discovered that the Pittsburg
Forge and Iron Company's works. at
Woods Run, are resting on bed of burn
ing cinders. For many years before the
mill commenced the use of natural gas the
cinders from the mill were used to fill up
vacant ground about the place. but now the
mill has stretched out, covering this ground.
The gas pipes were laid through under the
mill and in some way the gas escaped. A
few davs ago it was noticed that the fur
naces were sinking. One of them was torn
up. and it was found that the cinders were
on fire for depth of 80 feet. 1t proved to
be the same under the other furnaces, and
they will all have to be taken out and the
filling removed, putting in stone instead.
