Foundry Closed.
We learn with great regret that the Phoenix Foundry, Ballarat, which in the heyday of its prosperity manufactured over a million and a quarter pounds' worth of locomotives and railway rolling-stock, has closed down. The main reason for the step is that the work of locomotive construction has been withdrawn from the firm by the Government. The foundry has also suffered through the lack of a regular demand for mining machinery.
