Large Output.

From Yosts Weekly, Staunton.
G. M. Shanahan, General Manager of
the Rich Patch Iron Company, came
down Saturday to visit his mother, who
is still stopping with Mrs. d. O'Connor,
on Augusta street, attending her sick
relative, Mrs M H Mccarthy. Mr. Shana-
han remained over until Monday. He
stated, in conversation, that the Rich
Patch Mines, this month, would make a
good record. It's shipments of ore would
amount to 1000 tons for the month of
March-probabIy the largest output ever
made by single mining plant in Vir-
ginia. The ore is taken by Low Moor
and Iron Gate at present. The furnace
at this latter place is doing very we'll
Its capacity is rs tons per day, and it is
working up to that, much of the metal
ranking No. ! foundry of q beautiful
texture and fracture.
An additional cone is being placed in
the washer house of the mines, and with
this machinery in operation the capacity
for preparing and turning out ores will
be greatly enlarged. There is enough
ore now in sight on the property of the
Rich Patch Iron Company to keep cons
stantly in operation for half century to
come without going below water level.
Indeed the supply is practically mex
haustable and the quality improves in
proportion to the location of the ore be-
yond atmospheric action.
To mine 1000 tons of ore q month
means the expenditure of large amount
of money in wages, and nearly all of it
finds circulation in Allegheny county.
The fact is, in connection with the pay
rolls of Low Moor, LoDgdale, Iron Gate
and Glen Wilton, besides the mines and
machine shops of Frank Lyman, at Gov
ington, gives some idea of what is going
on in that county
In short time the Covington Furnace
will be ready to blow in. The railroad
Lyman, the owner of the furnace, will be
soon ready for use, and we presume,
when it is completed, steps will be taken
to put the furnace in blast. With this
operation in that section, within an area
of twenty miles square, with enough ore
easily accessible to furnish three times
as many more.
That section is destined to be the great

A GOOD RECORD.

The Low Moor furnuce is now turning
out, on an average, of 1000 tons of pig
metal a week. Last week the output
was ,037 tons, over 500 of which was No
foundry; over 400 No. 2 foundry, and
the balance mill iron. Seventy per cent
of the ores from which this return was
given was of the Low Moor and Rich
Patch mines, and the balance from Dolly
Ann, Stack and Iron Mountain mines.
1t has been clearly established, how>
eyer, that No. foundry iron can be pro
duced from the Rich Patch ores alone,
as the Low Moor ores are practically of
the Rich Patch veins.
The results above stated demonstrate
the correctness of the statements we have
heretofore made, that there is no locality
in the country where No, 1 foundry iron
can be made at less cost or with greater
facility than in the Rich Patch section,
and that it is destined to be the great
foundry iron section of the country. The
vast quantities of the ore the immediate
presence of the best of limestone, and
coke and coal within easy reach, with
earnest and practical cooperation of a
great railroad system, the Chesapeake &
Ohio, no other place presents SO many
natural and created advantages for the
purpose named.

TEA TABLE GOSSIP.

Decidedly the most unique publ
cation in America today is The
Moslem World" "devoted to the
interests of the American Islamic
Propaganda" and edited by
Mohammed Alexander Russell
Webb, the fright young American
who was converted recently to
Mohamme d ,nism. The ignorant,
the bigcted and one.idead people
generally will regard MIR. Webb's
conversion to Islamism, as that
gentleman prefers to call his faith,
with holy horror and have religious
nightmares in which will appear
tierce.looking, turbaned individuals,
with bloody scimetars, choppipg off
the heals of women because they
are ugly; moon eyed beauties will
be imported for the harems of
merchant princes; the marriage re-
lation will be abolished; little girls
will be kidnapped in the streets by
the Sultan's emissaries to lead lazy
lives OF luxurious sin in the
gorgeous establishments of swarthy
eastern Bluebeards, friends of the
boss Turk, or mayhap to stroke the
brunette whiskers of some venerable
sheikh of the desert, to be con.
sidered little less than a horse, little
more than dog. AT the muezzin's
call to prayer passenger traffic will
be blocked by long-bearded, sallow-
visaged parties, plump down on their
knees on the sidewalk, muttering
prayers with their eyes toward the
east, and divers other such horrible
heathenish doings. If this seems to
be exaggerated or any way far.
fetched, read the stories of
Mussulmen and their religion
printed in reputable religious publ.
cations, especially those read by
young people. Mr.. Webb, whose
journal will endeavor to remove the
prejudices and dense ignorance re
garding the religion, manners and
characteristics Of the people of his
faith, of which he will try to con-
vert his countrymen and women to
his way of believing, will have a
number of wise men from the east
to assist him and render into the
vernacular the historical, doctrinal
and traditional literature of the
Arabs, Persians, Turks. And this
is where Mr.. Webb's publication
will be interesting. How many
Americans are even slightly &C
quainted with the true Islamic
faith as taught by the believers or
with the rich, profound literature
of the east, teeming with logic,
epigrammatic thought, keen analysis
and the most gorgeous imagery ?
Not one in ten thousand. Mr..
Webb claims that this literature is
as a fountain sealed except to those
who are proficient in oriental
languages. For this reason the
young American Mohammedan puts
us under obligations to him. Who
ever adds to our knowledge
in any reputable way is our bene.
factor and precise, genuine ac-
count of the religion, manners,
customs and literature of the inter

picturesque philosophy, many of
the most useful arts and inventions

careful study and approval. Mr..
Webb is certainly entitled to a re-
spectful hearing, which he will
undoubtedly have from broad
minded, cultured people, who are
not afraid of strange religious bug
