It is hardly, a proper term to call the
present workings on the large deposit of
magnetic fron ore at Cranberry, North
Carolina, a mine. While in the past
two tunnels were driven, as much for
proving the Quantity of ore as for anv
other purpose, yet the present workings
are on a large open cut, and ; the ore is
quarried out like so much marble or
granite in: fact, more like the rough
Work in a railroad cut. The Cranberry
magnetio ore is one of the most noted
bodies of that ore. It was ; known for
many years before there was any possi
bility of reaching it except: by the
roughest pf wagon roads. The original
forge was erected before 1812, and the
first anvil block and hammer were pack

or its own law? (and thecommittee wUl utes ni some remarks on the question of horseback. In excavating for the last

to assist in punishing them as we are in
upholding their rights.

Allen town, Pa., is general manager of
the whole business, and Mr. Al, Nim
son is superintendent of the mines and
furnaces.
The furnace at Cranberry usos char
coal, partly made in pits and partly in
conical kilns, and is run by water-power.
It is calculated to average seven tons and
has made as high as ten tons and , as
low as three tons per day. i The make
varies with the water supply. The pig
is of the best character. When first
ascertaining its quality large quantities
of this ore were sent to Alleatown and
tested alone and mixed with limonite in
the furnaces of the Messrs j Pardee. It
worked well in either case.) By con
tract seventy-five tons per. day are now
sent to the Croier' steel and i iron com
pany, at Roanoke, Va. It is used there
mixed with limonite. In first using it
at Cranberry the usual quantity of ume
was used and much trouble experienced. 1
It is now used without any other lime .
than the calcite It contains in Stsfelf. The
company owns at Cranberry about 4,000
acres of land, many houses, and a well
built Northern-style hotel at Johnson
City. It intends to bnild furnaces as
soon as good coke can be j obtained . at
cheap rates. The total investment if
said to be about $1,400; 000. In this
region is the only great body of steel-
making ore in the South, and, as ?the
supply i& very large, it is destined Lto
prove an important item in the future
lnaustries ot tne southern sutes. !

tunnel was driven in ozo leet, of which
50 feet were in the orej A year later a
tunnel was driven in i directly on the
northeast end of the outcrop where it
comes out at the butt of the hill. This
was in ore from the start, and is still in
use. Tunnel No. 1 is not now in use
the greater part of work being mere
quarrying in the open air. ; This work
was commenced on the east side of the
outcrop, and is being pushed south
across the vein. The south face of this
quarry is about 150 feet long, and the
highest wall of solid ore is 50 feet and
the lowest about 25 feet. The ore body
is here estimated to be fully 300 feet
thick. In the main or No. 1 tunnel a
diamond drill was run injl50 feet deep,
and was all the distance in ore and did not
go through. Up to January 1st the ore,
by oontraot, cost the company on the
ears 60 cents per ton, and it was sold,
delivered on the ears of the-1 East Ten

Johnson City., at $2.60 per ton. It un-

of the point were presented by Messrs

Illinois, while Messrs. Bayne and Scott,
of Pennsylvania, took a different view
of the case. The point was nnaiiy over
ruled by the chair, who was satisfied
that the possession of the; peninsula by
the United States was an element in the
work of improving the harbor ef Erie
and the motion to strike out the proviso
was rejected by the committee.- A num

already in the bill, to insert new ones
and to inorease the others already j in

made in the bill as far as progress was
