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 ed oyer the mountain from Virginia on or its own law?

Mr. Nimson, formerly of 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.

This 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 nessee, Virginia & Georgia railroad at Johnson City., at $2.60 per ton.
