FURNACE NOTES.

Four loads oflumber came in from Pine
Valley yesterday.
The assay Office is in in general use
though not quite completed.
Wood for the locomotive is cut by
steam near the scale house.
The Company is now negotiating for a
second locomotive, one possessing greater
speed and strength than that now in
use.
Supt. James says he may be able to
start up by Saturday but wants enough
ore on hand to insure good run, and
teams are scarce.
Teams are wanted to haul ore from the
half Moon, Mendha, Day and Onondaga
mines to the terminus of the railroad six
miles from town.
Ore from the Highland and Jackrabbt
mines is now delivered by teams at the
point six miles from town, whence it is
brought in by rail to the smelters.
The Supt.'s dwelling house is rapidly
nearing completion. 1t is seven room
structure. and when completed will be
by far the best residence in town.
The second kiln Of brick are now being
burned. The kiln Of several weeks ago
turned out some Of the best brick ever
made here. The clay is found in the
HAT at the old Ham Light station.
The necessity for some accommoda.
tion on the furnace grounds for the men
employed in and about there is apparent.
The distance from town is too great to
permit furnace men to quarter in town
and work there with any comfort.
All teams that can be secured ale
hauling coal and ore. At present about
20 tons of Mendha and 20 tons of June.
ton ore comes in daily and 1000 bush.l Is
of coal. Hauling from the Half Moon,
Day and the Iron Age mines will begin
in day or two.
