and more are needed. The pudding

dOuble-turn, never losing any time,
Two new furnaces were started last
week. If q chrome was offered the mill
making the quickest time the Laughlin

feel happy over the fact. The factory

they work plenty long enough. The
new Office here, when completed, will
be one of the finest in this section of the
country.

one hundred men, and are hiring all
they can get. Next Saturday is the

ception of the punch goods, are working
on the all-day system. Double turn
will soon be in order at this factory.
The production during the week was
quite large. The shipments are large
and numerous. The statesmen out are
sending in nice orders, Yesterday was
pay day at the factory. The upper fur
mace will be shortly started whether gas
is found at the PAUL well or not. This
is what they have been holding back
for.
Both planning mills are making full
time and report work plentiful with new
contracts occasionally coming in.
The blast furnace, which has been idle
for several weeks past on account Of
over-production, will resume about the
18th inst. This is the only idle industry
