Hunt, the proprietor of the South Boston Iron works, where heavy iron cannon are cast, was in the city recently. He has been paying a v.sit of inspection to the great iron and steel works in Pennsylvania with a view of enlarging his experience. He remarked that lie regarded the Edgar Thompson Steel works, near Pittsburg, as marvel ous in their extent and excellences Among other thidgs he said; “These works turn out enormous quan tities of steel rails. They have five or six blast furnaces where they make the pig irog and eight or ten cupola fur naces for mixing the iron, besides their converters and other processes for treat ing the metal before it reaches the com pleted state. X watched them turning rails with my watch in hand. In some instances they brought out a rail in twenty seconds. The steady average, I think, would be about two rails a min ute. It was a marvel to me how they could handle all the vast quantity of material that -was required for this work. They use 2,000 tons of iron ore a day, 1,000 tons of coal and large quantities of limestone to turn out 1,000 tons of pig iron. In all they handle nearly 5,000 tons of material a day.
