an air line from the great PoCAHoNTAs
FLAT Tor Coal FIELDS, although the

a proper admiXture of ores will give
a CHEAP IRON that canno be ~excelled in
any portion OF the world for SMALL. CAST
INGs, and especially SHELF HARDWARE,
being as FLUID as water, and TENACIOUS
and STRONG by reason of the copper in
thered short ore. There arc a number
of CHARCOAL FURNACES in tho vicinity

construction.
The company is particularly DESTROYS
of having located a FIRST-CLAss MA
