 of saleratus per month. 



Miles' Brewery. — This Brewery, owned and con- 

 ducted by Messrs. W. B. & J. Miles, occupies five 

 lots of ground. It has been in operation for the past 

 27 years. When first started it was a very small es- 

 tablishment, the building was about 20 by 30 feet ; 

 but now it is one of the largest in the city. 



The article of pale and amber ale manufactured 

 here, is very choice, and brings from $5 to $8 per 

 cask ; and even at these rates, notwithstanding the im- 

 mense quantity of the article manufactured, being 

 generally about 10,000 or 11,000 casks yearly, their 

 houses of storage are seldom burdened. 



At this brewery is made a quality of ale equal to 

 any brewed in England or Scotland, and the bottling 

 of this article is an important part of the business. 



In order to manufacture a sufficient quantity of ale 

 to supply their customers, Messrs. W. B. & J. Miles 

 have now in course of erection an additional building 

 in the rear of those they now occupy. The building 

 will be of brick, six stories in height, and 50 feet long 

 by 34 wide. All of the building will be used for 

 brewing purposes, except the two upper stories, which 

 are intended for public halls.
