Vol. XL. No 2 5. Cuontemplated Improvements at Wellston, Ohio. The people of Wellston, Ohio, have deter- mined that the natural advantages of their immediate vicinity are worthy of more ex- tended development than they have yet attained. The town is not altogether un- known to fame as a manufacturing center, having three blast furnaces and a nail mill, besides less prominent establishments, but it | has been felt that places less richly endowed | with mineral resources have taken rapid | strides toward industrial pre-eminence while Wellston has moved forward too conserva- | tively. Southern towns have boomed, Western towns have gone ahead at a pro- digious pace, and even in Northern Ohio | industrial growth has been wonderfully guickened, and the people of Wellston have | determined to join the procession, The | town is located in Jackson County, in the | southeastern part of Ohio, within the limits | of the famous Hanging Rock region, once | known as among the most prominent iron- producing districts of the United States, and still held in excellent repute for the charac- ter of the iron made there, although other districts are now far in the lead as to pro- duction. The coal of Jackson County is abundant and easily mined, and it has long been used in its raw state for smelting ore | in the blast furnace. At Wellston a shaft can be sunk near a factory site which will | provide all the fuel needed without the ex-| pense of hauling it any distance. Iron ore is almost as easily obtained. Three railroads afford communication with the outside world, and connections will soon be estab- lished with four more. In addition to ad- vantages for the manufacture of iron the adjoining country is covered with an abun- davee of second growth hickory and white oak suitable for the manufacture of wagons, carriages and other articles into the con- struction of which these woods enter. For the purpose of actively pushing the work of developing the industries of Wells- ton a number of the enterprising citizens of that place have induced outside capitalists to unite with them in the formation of a} strong corporation with comprehensive aims. The company has a capital of | $4,000,0c0 and is known as tke Consolidated | Wellston Coal and Iron Company. The| managers of the company have outlined the | following scheme of improvements which | they hope to be able to carry into effect: They propose to add to the existing indus. | trial establishments of the place two modern blast furnaces, one Bessemer steel plant, a| nail-plate rolling mill and nail factory, a wire mill and wire-nail factory, a stove foundry, a pipe foundry, a rail and merchant rolling | mill and a steel plant and blast furnace for | the existing Wellston Steel and Nail Mill | Company, whose nail tactory is also to be doubled in size. But this is not all that is | contemplated, as water works, gas works, a 4-mile street railway and a business block containing a large hotel and an opera-house are on the programme announced by the| enterprising managers as among the ix-| tended undertakings of the company. It is stated by the officers of the company | that contracts are already being placed for | the construction of a number of these en- | terprises, and that they will be pushed along | as rapidly as circumstances will admit. Of| course the publication of the company’s | plans has caused great activity in real estate | in the vicinity of the town, but the exten-| sion of the town has formed part of their) scheme, and the rise in value of near-by | property has inured to their benefit, as large areas of residence property, as well | as coal and iron ore lands, were acquired | by them in advance of theannouncement. | It must be confessed that at first sight this scheme seems too vast to be undertaken by a single company, and that perhaps the movement is simply a huge speculation. The | construction of so many separate works | would appear to be beyond the capacity of a single group of capitalists, who would prob- | ably find, in vulgar parlance, that ‘‘ they had bitten off more than they could chew,” and if persistingly followed up would re-| sult in financial disaster to all concerned. | But it appears that men of good judgment, | excellent business capacity and known| probity are at the head of the company. | The officers are men who have achieved | success in managing other industrial enter- | prises at Wellston and elsewhere, and who | evidently realize the full nature of the| stupendous project they have underta- | ken, as well as they feel assured of the capabilities -of Wellston and its vicinity to sustain the undertak- ings which they have planned. In one} respect, at least, they have shown ex- cellent judgment. They have not organized a great movement for the development of a thinly-settled section of the country remote from railroads and far from the great) centers of consumption, with undeveloped | resources of a character imperfectly under- | stood, but they have gone to work at home, where every step taken in the investment of their capital is directly under their own eyes, where markets for their products are within easy reach by established means of communication, where skilled and unskilled labor is abundant, and where the nature and extent of the mineral deposits have been | demonstrated by actual mining and manu-| pact and portable apparatus, with all its | New York, Thursday, December } | this particular scheme may be, as the best- | cast-steel forging upon the driving shaft.

The loose pulleys are lined with I y ' composition sleeves, and have large self-oil- |ing chambers.

The No. 7 machine has a 28-inch drum and a maximum load | capacity of 3000 pounds.

In the mouth of this remarkable river a depth of no less than 1452 feet was found, the Thames }in a similar locality giving only about 40 feet. The gully was distinctly traced 10 miles out at sea. I — Large Engineering Enterprises. This is an era of important engineering schemes. Aside from several of a formi- dable character such as the Nicaragua ship canal, the Tehauntepec Railway, the South- side Railroad in San Domingo, and kindred enterprises in which New York capitalists are engaged, there are others more directly connected with home interests in various stages of incubation and which altogether involve many millonsof money. The more immediate demand is to relieve travel and traffic in New York City from its conjested Machine. NEW nature, but which have stopped short in their development waiting for enterprising strangers to come along and do the work which should be done by their own citizens. ————E—E—E—EEE———— New Forms of Belt Elevators. It is very desirable in many locations, es- pecially with the heavier class of freight and passenger belt elevators, that the wind- ing machine should set upon the floor or suitable foundation close to the hatchway, which is more accessible and liable to re- ceive much better care and attention than the hanging machine. To meet this want Messrs. L. S Graves & Son, of Rochester, N. Y., are building several new forms of FORMS OF BELT ELEVATORS, Fig. 2.—Left Hand Screw Floor Machine. BUILT BY MESSRS. L. S. ‘any connection with the shifting or pull rope. It is, furthermore provided with }an improved cable stop, which stops the machine if the cables slack up or are not winding in their proper channel on the drum In this new design and construction all old patterns have been discarded and many new and valuable improvements have been introduced. The particular machine which we illustrate has a 36-irch drum, and is capable of raising a maximum load of 3000 pounds. The pulleys run at 420 revo- lutions per minute. Fig. t shows a No.7 right-hand machine, the hoists being built both right and left |hand, the same general design being fol- lowed in both forms. The object is to make the machine to fit the different situations of screw floor machines, two of which we illus- | buildings, hatchways, or power necessary to trate on this page.

The screw is cut from a solid drive it. All sizes of these floor machines are fitted like the No. 10, with patent auto- matic stop-motion, slack cable stop-motion, which stops the machine should the-car meet with any obstruction in its descent, so as to prevent an accident by the GRAVES & SON, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 26-inch drum. The shipping weights range from 1800 pounds for the No. 6 to 3000 pounds for the No. ro hoist. om ——— — The London Engineer says that, according to Mr. Stallibrass, the history of deep-sea sounding might almost be said to date from the time of the first Atlantic cable scheme in condition. The transit problems comprise tunnels and elevated railways within the city, also tunnels and bridges to connect with the territory beyond. The latest plan is for an underground railroad from the City Hall to the Grand Central Station, in which the Vanderbilts, Astors, Lorillards and other representative capitalists are said to be in- terested, as a substitute for the Broadway scheme. This new plan provides for a four- track railroad through Elm street and Fourth avenue, with stations every four or five blocks for the way trains and double that distance for the express trains, the sta- tions to be 409 feet long. Underneath the tracks the subway tunnel will be built, with separate apartments for steam, gas, water, and electric wire pipes, and sewers, tram- ways upon which to run pipe into the tunnels, and stations at various places along the line for the storage of tools and supplies, and by way of which the tunnel may be entered. The whole route is, furthermore, to be made bright as day by electric lights. Asa motive power, it is said that either electricity or fireless steam engines will be employed. The cost of the tunnel is estimated at $2,000,000 per mile. Next, and in connection with the fore- going, we have a scheme for a tunnel from a point near St. Paul’s churchyard to the foot of Rector street and thence under the Hudson River, to effect a junction between the railway systems of the North and East centering in New York and those of the South and West terminating at Jersey City. One of the organizers reports that the larger portion of the required capital has already een subscribed. Of a somewhat different character is a ground pian for traffic exten- sion said to have been definitely perfected, ‘the main feature of which is an extensive warehouse syetem, with capacious docks and stockyards, at Clifton and Southfield, on | Staten Island, the design of which is to j unite the far West through this port with | the barbor of Barrow, in England. The prejectors are the Furness Railway Com- pany of England, who have made their ar- |rangements in the West, and completed their purchases of large tracts of land at the points named, including 1500 feet of water front at Clifton, where the erection | of warehouses to cost $1,500,000 will begin next spring. Vice-President Boyle, of the Minnesota and Northwestern Railway, is reperted as saying that there is no question about the work going forward as rapidly as time and the nature of things would admit after the winter is over. Capital in plenty was behind the scheme, and men of deter ; mination and wealth, witha definite purpose in view, were urging the enterprise forward The bridge across the Kill von Kull is being pushed with all possible celerity by the Keystone Bridge Company, who have the contract for its construction. The Staten Island pier of the bridge is away above water, as is also that on the New Jersey shore, and gangs of men are at work on the two central piers. | In the same category of improvements we may include the Harlem ship canal, to connectthe East River with the Hudson | River, doing away with the detour at the | Battery, and shortening the distance from /18% to8 miles. The water front wil! thus | be extended by the addition of about 10 | miles of warves and docks. The prelimivary borings are now in progress. Scarcely less important as affecting the genera! welfare is | the extensive engineering work involved in | the proposed sinking of the railroad tracks |}uptown, on the line of the New York | Central and Eastern roads. Fine masonry }and iron-work will be requisite, at a heavy expense, to the corporations concerned.

Between Cadiz and Ten- eriffe alone, a distance of about 700 miles, 673 soundings were taken on one expedition, resulting in the discovery of two banks, two | coral patches and four other shoal spots. | Some of the inclines near these banks were | rewnarkable for their steepness. On the east side of one of these the bottom fell precipit- | ously for 450 feet. On a sounding taken by | the Dacia during her survey of the Seine | bank a precipice of 1800 feet was found, A lectively, only foreshadow in a faint degree the future development of the great com mercial metropolis. mg Natural gas was struck on the 12th inst., about 12 miles south of Fort Smith, Ark | It was found at a depth of 175 feet by par- ties who were boring for coal When feet above s are entertained of find city itself lighted the flame is said to rise 4 the ground.
