So now that there h a gradual resump tion and everything has an air of permanency about it the people of this city generally are congratulating themselves on the outl ok and are preparing to receive the better times ahead.MORE FUEL IS ARRIVING.On Saturday last 150 car loads of coal und coke arrived, and on the following Monday 100 car loads came in, the average being very well kept Dp ill through the week.Additional coke ovens have been started up in various -amps, the Stark-Ttlle and Sopris camps giving very good accounts of themselves, and the coke is of A 1 grade. Things in the fuel regions are looking up and it will not he long until the usual output of fuel, both of coal and coke can be procured.FURNACE E GETTING READY.blast furnace E is being warmed up. This is the furnace which has been banked for several months is now having the sand taken away, the draft turned on and connections made generally.It is the intention of the management to have the furnace blown in by-Wednesday next, and if possible before then. The whole thing lies in the question of getting in enough coke to warrant a permanent run.With two blast furnaces and the open hearth furnace producing there will be more doing at the steel works and additional numbers of men will be employed.RAIL MILL TO START Ul\The rail mill will resume operations again Monday morning next on soft steel, making angle bars and such like for railroads. The conventer can not be started at that time because the blast furnaces will not he far enough ahead with pig iron to keep it going, and it is the intention of the company now to have no more shutdowns in any departments, but when once set going to keep on going.THE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER.Unquestionably there is a brighter outlook all through the steel works yards. More men are being employed and more yet will be employed as it beccmes possible to increase the output.Almost every branch of the giant industry is running to a certain extent and now the thing is to increase the output. The good work is going on as the progress made in the past week plainly tells.tofI*iPCththotcaprthfvnoorallintoColiesust;infwathiwatincuiSCItillfoif 01arlbe:foiraimiticelftirW;spigehi!foiamInpr.otlcrcwo
