hauled, and . few Of the naliers are ~
work fixing their machines. Inc new
machine shop is running iuii piAst,
working their own small engine. fhe
work OF putting up the additional ma
chimes in the nail factory Is progressing
quite rapidly.
At the
BELMONT MILL
the work of putting in new driving
wheels to the forge department engine
| is being rapidly pushed TO completion.
An entire new foundation is also being
put in, and under the able management
of the genial manager, Mr.. Reister, and
his assistant, the j0vial Mr.. Cline, the
men work with will, and are either
laughing at good joke told by the
| manager or one of their fellow work
men. Good fellowship always exists at
this mill, hence the officials and men
always get along nicely together. In
| the nail factory only one solitary mailer
| was at work, and he claims to have
| nearly two weeks work yet on hand to
| do on his machines. Passing from the
| mill into the cooper shop, the reporter
| found the genial and hospitable Man
ager Cline hard at work supervising
the great number of improvements be-
| ing, or, about to be made to the cooper
shop. The cooper shop proper is COM
| posed of two brick buildings, together
measuring about l25 feet long, facing
| the river and So feet wide. 1t was
| formerly two separate buildings, the
| floor having difference of about three
| feet in their lever. The engine and
boiler stood at the north end of the
| south building, in other words, ABOUT
the middle ofthe present building, now
| thew are making u big change so as to
| give more room to the cOopers, the en-
| CINE and boiler are to be moved to the
| southern end and an additional boiler
| made, as they have discovered one
| boiler is not enough to do the work,
and be placed along with the other at
southern end. The old brick walls OF
the southern house, are to be torn down
and the difference of three feet filled up
and then the new walls will be built,
making room thirty five feet wide by
| 100 feet long to be used by the coopers,
and the flooring to be made levee. An
other big improvement Is the doing
away with the old wooden steam boxes;
they are being torn down and brick
structure built in their place. The two
old fashiOnen drying houses, (which 1t
is great wouder do not set this atre)
are to be torn down and in place of
them, new patent hot air, drying
house (which will make three feet of
them now in Use at this Industry VIII
be put up, thereby doing away with
the old fine traps, formerly used.
I McssrS. Thompson and Hibberd nave
received the the contract for putting in
the necessary piping and used i'll the
new patent hot Or drying houses. The
improvements this portion of the Bel
mont mill are to say the least, very adj
visable, and at the same time cost but
comparatively speaking, small SUM OF
| money.
