TEXAS MILLS AND FACTORIES.


The old oil mill buildings at Tyler are
to be renovated and turned into au ice
| factory. The machinery for a twenty
| five ton plant is on hand.
The Denison cotton mill is progressing
| rapidly, and the walls will be completed
about November 1. About 100 men are
| employed on the building. The big we'll
is one of the largest in the state.
A huge taunery, with factory of suf-
ficient capacity to utilize the output, is
another of Dallas projected enterprises
| which may assume practical shape IL the
future.
A new mill and gin has been put in at
Brady, McCulloch county, and the first
steam whistle sounded that was ever
| heard in that section.
A new gin Is just ready for business in
Grandview, johnson county, and the
brick yard has just turned out one kiln
and started another. Both kilns are to
be used IN buildings right away.
TERRELL, Sept. S.-Two new gins have
been put in operation within the last
month, making four gins in town.
TYLER, Sept. 3.-Last evening l. H.
Brown & Co. of this city closed a trade
with Shreveport parties for the Tyler
compress, thus making it entirely home
institution. Several thousand dollars
were involved in the trade, but the ex-
act conditions are not yet made public.
A fine stratum of fire clay has been dis
covered in the Mountain Springs locality,
Cooke county. The brick produced from
this were very superior, and 1t is the in
tention TO put plant in at once, and be-
gin the work of making brick some time
during the present fall if possible.
The first product of Galveston g new
cotton and wooden mills was turned out
last week. This is q new and splendid
enterprise for South Texas and more of
them will certainly follow.
There is a good deal of strong talk at
present of the cotton seed oil mill at
BRENNAN being removed TO Temple. The
mill has not been in operation for some
time, and it is very likely that such q
change will be made.
The Mount Pleasant Titus county,
compress and manufacturing company
pressed their first bale of cotton last
week. The press is one of the largest in
the state and is now receiving cotton
from points all along the different lines
of the Cotton Belt.
- The New Birmingham Times says, edi-
itorially: The yellow pine mills are get
ting in better shape to fill orders prompt
ly than at any time during the year, and
none of the mills are without orders,
they are nearer up with shipments.
Trade will improve greatly within
the next fortnight, and it is more
than proba BILE that the conditions of the
spring market will be repeated-more
orders than lumber.
The completion of the Bonham oil mill
has been delayed by the non-arrival of
several carloads OF lumber and material.
The manufacture of vegetable oil will be-
gin, however, at a very early day now,
as the machinery is all on hand and the
buildings are approaching completion.
The sawmill men Of Montgomery county
report the demand for lumber TO be far
in excess of their ability to furnish it,
while prices are better than they have
been for some time past.
FoRNEY, Sept. 7.-Our three gins,
though running day and night are
crowded beyond their capacity. Water
is getting scarce, one of the gins having
TO haul water now. Others are likely to
have to do so also IL the drouth continues.
ENNIS. Sept. 6.-The cotton gins here
are kept running night and day and the
congresses are busy all the time.
CoMANCHE, Sept. Our two gins are
kept busy day and night turning out the
fieecy staple. Over 500 bales have al
ready been ginned.
TAYLOR, Sept. 5.-The cotton COM
press is running at full speed to-day, as
they have 600 bales to press. The press
has a capacity of a bale minute. or 600
bales day. The new gin is in good
working order now, and turning our the
cotton as fast as they can bring 1t in.
HENRIETTA, Sept. Our new cotton
gin has commenced operations, and
large quantities of cotton is coming in
from the adjoining counties and Indian
Territory. Many bales of cotton have
been bought by resident buyers and
