THE ENGLISH.
1t is Said They Will Try Iron Making
Again at Embreyille.


Judge Kirkpatrick, of Jonesboro, is
said to have received a cablegram re-
Gently to the effect that the English
company mean to resume operations
at Embreeville in short while. A
gentleman who is acquainted with the
affairs OF the company does not think
the cablegram means very much. He
thinks the company will wait fer the
property to be sold. buy it in and then
reorganize, after which they may put
the furnace in blast and work the
mines in brisk manner.
Henry G. Jackson, of ChuckyV Valley
owns considerable tract of land in
the heart of the iron deposits at En-
breeville. At present he has fifty FIVE
men at. work there mining the ore.
The E.. 7. V. & G. company furnish
HIM with two trains week. He ships
ore to Roanoke and other points. The
ore is said to be 80 rich as to produce
fifty per cent. of pure pig. It is very
easily mined and the expense OF min
ing is light,
The Englismer have learned few
things since the furnace was shut
down. They have learned that the
ore deposition their own property is
much more extensive than was first
thought They have also learned that
the quality of tho ore improves as they
get further from the surface. Form.
erly they bought OF Mr.. Jackson's de.
posit, thinking they would have to be
partially dependant on that, but it il
now claimed that they need have nc
fears OF exhausting their own ore.
It seems little peculiar that ore
should fail to be profitably smelted al
the mines, when it is bought and ship
ped to furnaces at a. distance.

final decision regarding the new trriff is not yet

The injury to corn is less than many appre-
hended but it is still believed to have re-
duced the yield about 50O,0OO,000 bushels. The
strike Of coke workers and coal miners has
ended and while the lockout OF cotton opera

In all the great industries some Increase in de-
