Mr.. Temple Talks on the Purchas
of Binding Irvine MaChinery.


of Binding Irvine Machinery.
F. w. Temple, of the board of prison
managers, returned yesterday from New
York, where the committee appointed
| by the board of prison managers at a
| recent meeting was successful in Secur-
| ing additional binding twine machinery.
Mr.. Temple said to a GLOBE representa-
| tive that the committee had been wholly
unable 10 arrive at any agreement with
the National COrdage company, and that,
| as consequence, the committee was
| obliged to purchase two sets of short
line machinery, manufacturing at the
least calculation 5000 pounds of Irvine
per day. The machinery will, it is ex-
| pected, arrive here and be in working
order within forty days. Mr.. Temple
| said: The National Cordage COM
pany, with headquarters in New
York city. controls all of the
machine shops manufacturing long
| line binding Irvine machinery, not only
| in the United States, but in Europe as
well, and any concern not united with
| the cordage company is unable to secure
set OF the machinery. When asked
what advantage long line machinery
had over the the system now in use in
the prison binding Irvine factory, Mr..
Temple replied that the only difference
was that sisal and Manila Irvine could
be manufactured with long line ma
chinery, and it could not be ma nufact-
ured with the system now in use.
Senator O'Brien, who was also mem-
Der of the committee, will return home
today.
Prof. n. Lehnen, of st. Paul, was re-
Gently engaged to prepare all analysis
of limestone taken from Z. ii. CarlTS
quarry just north of the prison, within
the city limits. Mr.. Carl received
very satisfactory report yesterday.
Prof. Lehnen estimates that there is
between three and four million cubic
feet of limestone in the quarry which
will produce all excellent quality of
lime. The samples aSsayed contained
very large percentage of lime. The
report says that one-half of the lime
stone can be sorted and burned into an
excellent grade of white lime, and the
remaining can be burned into good
quality of gray lime suitable for mortar,
etc. The find is valuable one. mas
much as it can be worked easily and is
situate almost In the center of the city.
