THE BEE , nhich w.is the first t ? an nounce the incorporation of the Omaha Shot company and which has kept the public well posted in the progress of the enterprise ever since , takes pleas ure in announqirg that tha first shot was dropped in the new eatabl shment Wene day night at 6 o'clock precisely The process of dropping shot ia a very curious and interesting one , and a brief description will not ba out tf place at this limp. . The tower is five stories high and the operation of mauufac.uring the product , the reverse of the uau 1 course of affairs , begins in the fifth story of "thetower. . " This is the "dropping room , " 24x16feetinsize. Iu the northeast corner stands a furnace nd kettlfs for the "drop shot , " while iu tha southeast corn r is a fur nace and kettle for "back-shot , " which is moulded. When the molten metal is taken from the kettle it is poured through a bottomless , cup- shaped vessel into a pan eight inches In diameter , the bittern of which is perforated with small holes. The pan rests on a frame and the cup stands inside it. The lead is then poured in and being distributed equally through the pan , passes through the prfnctnred bottom and f.Us a distance of 165 feet to the bottom of.ihs shaft , in its descent as suming the form of small globules , but not all of the same size as one might naturally expect. It is next drawn up , iu the kettle into which it has-fallen , to the third story and goi > s into a large ci > cultr ; pan , heated by steam and c.llcd "the dryer , " after which it returns to the second story. Here it ia paised over the plnnes , sevwii largo , smooth wooden platforms with spaces forr catching the imperfect shot. Down these pi inus the shot is rollrd , every perfect shot reaching the bottom in safety , while the imperfectly for-ned globules f-.ll into the jpicua acd stiik. The perfect shot is then taken to the first floir , where It ia passed through "the separators.,1 These are v'bratlng ' drawers , with perforated bottoms toms which assort the shot in aizea , numbering from 1 to 10 and land c > icb In a separate heap reidy te bs t ag ed for the market. The amount dropped lent night was seven hundred and twenty pounds and we understand the managers are much pleased with the success of their first experiment.
