The repairs now in progress upon the
Cony House stable are far more extensive
than was at first contemplated, and are in
fact little short of the entire rebuilding of
the whole structure, New walls and new
windows will give fine appearance to the
building, and the roof is to be raised six feet
which with the new story to be added, will
make the building the same height as
Granite Hall block. The main floor
l04 by 81 feet is to be used en-
tirely for coaches and carriages, and there
will not be post in it anywhere to interrupt
its use, the upper floors being supported by
trusses. The second floor is to be used for
horses. and fifty new stalls will be built, the
capacity of the old stable being for thirty
horses only. The third floor is the hay loft.
The coach house near the stable entrance is
TO be torn away. The Office is to be en-
laryed, bay window built at the North side,
and large toilet room made in connection
with it. The floor timbers are of the best
hard pine Twenty-Five men are now at
work upon the building, the wood work
being in charge of Fred Marston, and the
mason work under Theo. A. Sanders. The
building will not be completed before the

THE NEW MILL.
What is Being Done on the East Side

Work upon the new mill is still being
energetically pushed, but now begins to wear
completed look, and one can see the end in
the very near future. The birch floors are
being laid and the clapboarding is in pro-
gress. large force of workmen are en-
ployed in putting in position the machinery
for the new pulp mill The large heavy
stones have been placed in position and much
OF sthe other machinery adjusted
noticeably large circular saw for slicing up
the pulp wood into the proper lengths for
grinding. Passing in under the floor on
which the pulp mill is located one has an ex-
cellent chance to see the wheel pits. There
are four of these capable of furnishing 1900
horse power. They are furnished with the
turbine wheel manufactured by z. C. Holmes
Of Gardiner and which is said to be the very
best wheel which is now made for securing
the greatest amount of power from a given
volume of water. The water was let into
the canal, for the first time since the new
mill was begun Tuesday at 10 O'Clock.
hr new Dtiling WHICH cOflneEl. tlic MANU-
factory Of the Bangs Brothers with the new
mill was placed in position, Wednesday, and
their wheel started for the first time yester-
day. They will have an abundance of power
from the new mill and will be able to further
increase their business so as to keep pace
with their ideas of which they have a large
number ahead The Bangs Brothers have
now run their mill by steam for
nine months and will welcome the
change back 10 water power again as it will
enable them to do larger volume of bust
ness with less help. The electric light build
ing is now well under way. The shafting
and fly wheel arrived Wednesday and will be
Immediately placed in position. The bridge
tree for three of Mr.. Lymans wheels was
placed in position Wednesday morning. No
one who has seen the thorough manner in
which every part of the new mill is being
built can doubt for moment but that it
will prove "a great blessing to Augusta.
