Right.

and Puddle Mills.

There was good cause for rejoicing all
along the line yesterday, aud especially
so in Ligonia, over the lighting of tho
furnace in the new rolling mill which has
sprung up ON the foundations of the old
mill, which was some time since de-
stroyed by fire.

Iron and Steel Company began the con-
struction of the new mills, AMI yes
terday at 30 o'clock in the afternoon
the first cut was set through the 10 inch
mill. The engines were put to a test.
which proved satisfactory, and the rollers
worked all right turning out bars of iron
which brought smile to the faces of
the men as well as to those Of Manager
MCGOWAN and Superintendent Hutchin-
son who were watching the operations
with the keenest interest.
This 10 inch mill will now be kept GO
ing with a crew of 10 men, and at the
same time work will be pushed on the
bar mill and pud lie mill which the man
ager hopes to have completed by August
LIST. Altogether there ara now about 10
men at work on the site Of the new
plant and the daily scenes are busy ones
and grateful to the eye In that work is
afforded so many of our worthy laborers.
