AT CAToCTIN.-The furnace has been
filled with its charge of ore, coke and lime
stone and the fire has been lighted. 1t will
be under blast shortly but for the first few
, days the pressure will be light, until it be.
comes thoroughly heated.
On Monday last the NJ. " railroad water
tank was loaded on cars and transferred to
Catoctin where it will be &c: up and filled
from the furnace supply.
Coke and limestone continue to arrive III
immense quantities and is being stacked up
at Catoctin.
A wharf will be built along the M. V.
tracks upon which coke from box cars VIII
be unloaded and from which the iron will be
loaded into cars.
The development of ore is progressing
satisfactorily and evidence is abundant that
general mining plan has been properly con.
ceived
In week or ten days everything will be
properly connected up, the furnace will be
carrying its full burden and the Blue Noun
tain Iron aud Steel Company's plant will be
the humming hiye of industry that 1t once
was under its late lamented perfect master,
~Col9-J. Baker Kunkel, but with increased
facilities and under more modern methods;
with all of which our community is more
than gratlfied. Our fondest hope now is
that such success may come TO the company
that another and larger furnace and with it
steel plant will be the outgrowth; we have
heard it ntmated that such are among the
possibilities
