the m'terial upbuilding of the city, a
TINES reporter vest rday visited the
Offices Of several of these large plants,
and talked with the managers in re-

much so, in fact, as TO inspire great
confidence in the commercial future

NORFOLK AND WESTERN RAILROAD.
TO the push and energy of the Nor
folk and Western officials is due. in Il
great measure, the rapid development
Of Southwest Virginia. This railroad
furnishes most excellent Transports

the roal. coke and iron ore with
which our section of the state
abounds, and in this as in other ways
il has been the means Of building mp
MI the towns along its line, and the
people of Roanoke will rejoice at the
prosperity of the company.
Mr.. A. Pope, general freight
agent, told the reporter yes

sal prosperity and general satistac-
zion along the entire road. Traffic
with connecting lines is constantly on
the increase and is in "a very satisfac

when the Clinch Nolley extension is

ROANOKE MACHINE WORKS.

The next in Importance OF
Roanokes enterprises is the
Roanoke Machine Works that
hive of industry of which every
CITIZEN of Roanoke feels justly proud
The general outlook at this institution
/, indeed bright. About 1,400 men
are employed there and every depart
lnent of the works is crowded to its
utmost capacity, and some of the de
partments are being run day and
night so great is the demand made
npon them. A large addition has Just
been built to the bls cksmith shop and
this gives fourteen new FORCES, and
greatly increases the output of the
shop. The pay roll last month
amounted to over $4,000, nearly ali
of which is spent by the worklnen
with our merchants. The outlook for
the coming year is very encouraging,
and from present prospects u full force
will be kept at work all the year.
Tie plant will also be greatly Ell
larged. Among the immediate i'm
provements contemplated is an eXten
SIGN of the storehouse 40 feet, and
the addition of new paint shop, Y
by $50 feet in dimensions. The con-
tract for the erection of both buildings
was let yesterday to Messrs. Adams Il
Woodson, of Lynchburg. The cost OF
the first will be $4,000, and of the Sc
cond, $25 600.
The construction Of passenger
coaches has commenced, and it is
expected TO erect $50 or 300 other cars
each month, in addition TO four large
locomotives.

AMERICAN BRIDGE WORKS.
u A. IL

Mr.. j. B. Foller, the efficient chief
clerk Of the American Bridge and
Iron company, furnished the reporter
with some interesting information
concerning that plant. He said: I'VE
are at present employing about 200
men. which is nearly double as many
as we employed three months ago, land
the pay roll for January amounted to
about $1,000. We have on hand u
large number of contracts, the most
important being for new bridge on
the Hematite branch Of the Norfolk
and Western railroad, which will cost
S25, 1000. We are also putting up a
pin connected bridge at Glen
Lynn. on the Cripple Creek extension,
The work of erecting the Salem fur,
mace, which contract we have, is pro-
crossing finely, as is also our portion
of the West End furnace. We have
several bids in for large contracts in
heavy work, the most important of
which is big bridge at Lynchburc,
which will be 1926 feet long. We are
meeting with considerable trouble
now, in getting the plate, tank and
angle iron from the North. The
mills up there seem to be
rushed with work also, and it
is right hard sometimes to keep
supplied with sufficient amount of
iron, but we are getting along nicely
at this time. The foundry addition
was completed last month and is
being rushed to its utmost capacity.
The outlook is very bright
