LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

question existed as to the probability of roll.
ing mills being erected here by the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, it would seem
now to be entirely dissipated, and the matter
set COMPLETELY at rest, for inquiry of those
in authority at the railroad shops results in
repies-as positive as can be expected-to
the effect that the mills will be erected, and
at once Master Mechanic Stevens says that
the building to be put up viii occupy a posi-
tion easterly of and in a line with the pres
ent foundry, and will necessitate a removal
of the copper works farther north. twill be
2j0 in length by so feet in width, and will be
constructed largely of corrugated iron. 1t is
entirely probable that the building will be
extended to greater length after the works
are once in operation. The engine which is
to answer for present purposes will weigh
about 40 tons. The Ry-wheel alone will
weigh 10 tons. The cylinders will be SO
inches stroke and 81 inches bore. So far
as the trolls that are to be used are con-
cerned, it may be said that they will,
in all material respects, resemble the
small rolls" now in use at the
machine shops. The present small rolling
mills, with a capacity Of 10 tons, rolls from
one-quarter to two and one-quarter iron.
They cost So, 800. and have. say the authori-
ties, paid for themselves every fortnight.
Links and pins, which used to cost the com-
pany eight cents by the car load, are made
here at cost of about three cents. 1t is be-
lieved that not only will new rails be made here
in the new works and old rails re-rolled, but
that it is the intention of the company to
gradually replace its wooden bridges with
iron ones, and for that purpose the rolling
mills will he indispensable. All the machin-
cry, SAYS Mr.. Stevens, for the new mills will
be made at the railroad shops as well as the
new and powerful engine, the shops being
equal to far more difficult tasks than this
manufacture will impose. The boilers for
the new works will be six in number, with a
furnace to each boiler, and there will be- in
addition, relief or relay boilers.
