The Principle Company during III"

52-pounders were made for the gov

in other sections of the state during
the eighteenth and early portion Of
the nineteenth centuries, but nearly
all of them have been abandoned

of these furnaces is the Catoctin fur

built in 1774, and furnished guns and

At the south end Of the furnace are
old ore bins. Some distance east are
ruins of brick structures built as ore

THE English government success
L sively sought to discourage iron
making in the American colonies be-
cause it competed with English iron
manufacture, and to encourage Amerl-
can iron making because it tended to
conserve English forests. John Henry
Alexander. typographical engineer of
Maryland. in a report to Gov. William
Grayson in 1870, enumerated the iron
works then in operation in Maryland,
and he listed many of these ruins. He
said that iron furnaces were in oper-
alton in Maryland and Virginia at
least as early as l7ls, for in that year
three tons of iron bars were export
ed to Engla nd. and in 1919 an act was
proposed in the house of lords to pre-
vent the erection of rolling mills or
Sitting mills in America. The act
was not passed, but in 1850 an act
having the same aim was passed by
the English parliament. The iron in
dustry in the colonies was SO flourish
ing that in 1877 there was a proposal
in the British parliament that all the
pig iron needed by the British iron
works should be brought from Amer
ica, land thus conserve the woodlands
of the British Islands"

| says:
The first blast furnace of Mary
| land was built in l724 by the Principle
Company, which was prominent in
iron making for fifty years. The
hearth of the original furnace was
still standing in ls4o. The Washing
tons became interested in iron max
ing about 1877, the Accokeek furnace
| being the unit in question. The
Principle Company built several fur
naces, but its property was confiscat-
ed by the state of Maryland in 1850

writer recently and the remains of

! of Frederick. the original furnace
| dating from l774 and the present ones
from 1881.
MANY furnaces were located in this
, state. the only one remaining for
charcoal being that at Muirkirk. The
western part of Maryland had a fur
mace at Bear creek in 1929. Another
in 1887 at Homecoming, which went on
coke in 1889. was supposed to be the
first successful attempt at running

| coke furnaces were built later. on
authority of Mr.. Merwin Mckaig, the
| Cumberland region had probably
| twenty-five cold blast charcoal fur
naces in operation between 1925 and

summer and in winter loaded on RATS
