OF Interest.
II. M. Gambril & Company, proprie-
tors Of the Arlington Cotton Mills, are
engaged in making extensive improve
ments. The mill was stopped on Sat.
urday last, in order to facilitate the
work and will not resume operations
for about ten days, by which time
everything is expected to be in run-
ming order. The most important por
ton Of the work is the putting in of a
new engine. The engine that has
been used ia of 200 horse power. This
will bs taken out, and an improved
Corliss engine, made by Robert With
GRILL and Company, of Chester, and
having $50 horse power, will be put In
its stead.
The engine will run the two mills
combined, and will require 40 inch
belt, the largest in the State, which was
made by Rhoads 4 McComb and can be
seen at their place Of business. Changes
are being made throughout the mill;
much OF tho machinery Is being taken
ont and replaced by that which is new
and improved, and considerable ex-
tension Is being made to the picRer
room. The Dimensions of this mill will
really surprise one who is unacquain-
ed with the establishment. Additions
have been constantly made to it until
it is one Of our largest factories,
The march Of Improvement over In
Brandywine is not by any means con-
fined to tho Arlington mills. Messrs.
VIM. Lee & Sons have thoir mill on
the north side Of the creek, closed
temporarily in order to make q num-
ber OF changes. A nsw turbine water
wheel will be put in and tho grinding
capacity of the mill will be both in
creased and improved. The mill at
New Castle, owned by the same firm, is
now one of the finest and most complete
in the State.
