Assignment Of the Rock Dale Mining
md Mfr 90

The Rock Dale Mining & Manu-
featuring Company made an assign
ment last Wednesday morning, in
trust to the Safe Deposit Turst & Bank
Co., of Nashville. Copies OF the
assignment papers were filed with the
Registers simultaneously, in this and
Lewis counties. The Company has
been suffering for some time, along
with all other iron manufactures,
because of the depressed price os iron,
and it was this general pressure that
finally forced them to the wall The
furnace has only been running about
eighteen months; in its building and
management : the Company was
eminently successful, until the bot
tom fell out of the price of iron.
Its liabilities are $19l 900: this in
cludes $l3l 900 of bonds, which leaves
floating debt of $50, 900. The assets
consist of 5000 acres of land, heavily
timbered aud rich in ore, with a new
and splendid furnace, and other valu-
able improvements. The furnace
alone costs $50, 400. They have on
hand about $4,000 worth of pig iron,
valued at the present prices. The
friends of the Company think it will
pay out dollar fol- dollar, and with a
fair rise in the price of iron, would
have money to spare.
The furnace and appurtaEances are
under lease to the King Furnace
Co, of Dayton, Ohio, and bring the
Rock Dale Co., an annual rental in
come of 50, 200. This lease was made
last April, and the present assign
ment will not interfere with it. The
furnace is in operation and will con-
| tinue.
