.DO|NGS OF HOME TRADE,
Order for Reclamation Plant
for Use in the Sacra-
mento River.
FOR MONTANA.
Latest Contracts and Shipments
Made by Various Local
Industries.

George Ames OF the Union Works, who
recently closed a contract with the Ana
conda Company to furnish two of the
largest hosting engines ever constructed
for use in two of the syndicate mines, of
the latest pattern aud capable of sinking
5000 feet, has contract to furnish the re-
finery at Anaconda with two of the largest
engines ever constructed-triple expansion
Corliss engines, with rating of 900 horse
power each. The company will also fur
nish three mammoth steam stamps on
several Bruckner furnaces, the whole
amounting to about 700 tons of machinery.
requiring about thirty-five cars for trans
portation.
The Selby Smelling and Lead Company
reports business good, with considerable
increase over last year. Especially is this
50 with the gold bullion trade. The revival
of gold mining all along the coast is greatly
increasing the gold output. For the past
three weeks the works have been pushed
up to full capacity on account of the an
nual closing down of the United States
mint. During this time, in addition to
their regular trade they have received the
bullion shipments formerly going to that
institution. The mint opens again to-
morrow. and the strain viii be somewhat
relieved.
The Perkins Pump and Engine Com
pany has orders on hand which keep.the
works up to about full capacity. During
the week this company shipped an engine
and pumping plant to Biggs, one engine to
Newman and two pumping plants to
Fultz, New. Paul B. Perkins was asked
about making their gas and oil engines re-
versible. He says they can make them
reversible at an extra cost of S., but that
this is not considered SO desirable, as the
engine has to be started each time, whereas
in gearing this is avoided.
The Krogh Manufacturing Company has
during the past week received orders for
one of their centrifugal pumps of 24OO gal
Ions per hour capacity, one of 5000 and one
of Is, 900 gallons per hour. This company
has also just closed contract with Sac
ramento River reclamation company for a
reclamation plant of 10000 gallons per
hour. This aforementioned plant is to in
clude compound condensing engines and
boilers, with all necessary auxiliaries COM
plete to make first-class plant, costing
Sill 200.
H. d. Morris is furnishing the MERGED
G. M. Co. at Coulterville with 14x22
Rand compressor and drills.
The Pacific Shoe Company has adopted
the proflt-sharing system. The employees,
in addition to wages received, share in the
profits of the business. About thirty men
are employed.
The Fulton Engineering and Shipbuild-
ing Works are building a 100-stamp quartz
mill for a coast mining company. also a
launch towboat for Central America, and
a twin-screw steamer to be used on the
Sacramento River. This company will bid

Prices in the East, it was said, are still

Prices in the East, it was said, are still
higher.
According to Vice-President Bothin of
the Judson Manufacturing Company,
Eastern manufacturers have increased
prices a little too rapidly from a stand
point of good business policy; but they had
to advance prices, he says, to protect them
selves, seeing that they have been doing
business on losing basis for the past three
wears. He attributes the rise in nails to
general closing down of many factories IN
the East and the formation of comblna-
ton.
The Union Iron Works put 142 tons
of 1S-inch belt armor On the battle
ship Oregon, which Manager Dickie thinks
is a good record. All the armor is to be
placed on her within ten days, except the
two shutter plates, one OF which Is now on
the'way from the Carnegie works and the
other will be as soon as its length can be
determined.
The main batteries and mounts are ex-
pected to be shipped shortly from
for the Oregon. There will be four
I3-inch 62-ton guns for the big turrets and
eight 8-inch 26-ton guns for the smaller
ones. These 13-inch guns will be the
largest ever brought across the continent
and are bigger than the famous big
Betsv'-a Seton gun. The Union Iron
Ex-senator Charles N. FELTON,, president
of the Pacific Coast Oil Company, drove
the first rivet himself yesterday into the
new oiltank steamer, which the Union
Iron Works is building for the company.
He sent the three-quarter bolt home into
the keel plate and headed 1t like an old
hand at the business, being rewarded with
commentator from Irving M. Scott.

WAGES At THE POTRERO,
Pacific Rolling Mills Steel
Workers Advanced 10
Per Cent.
BETTER MARKET FOR IRON
No Particularly Big Orders, How
ever, Received at the Large
Concerns.

General Manager Charles M. Keeney
announced yesterday that the wages of the
steelworkers and also of a number of men
on the rolls at the Pacific Rolling mills
have been increased 10 per cent voluntar-
lily and without any request for such raise
being made by the men themselves. About
$50 employees are thus benefited.
The increase took effect on the 1st of the
month. Mr.. Keeney's explanation is that
the raise was made because the company
believed it was the proper thing to do.
Naturally, the large number of iron
workers employed in this City and partic-
ularly at the sPotrero view this increase of
wages as an indication of manufacturing
revival. The inference is that the price of
manufactured products has gone up some
what warranting the wage increase. On
this point, however, local manufacturers
are divided.
A visit was paid to the Pacific Rolling
mills Yesterday. 1t was stated that no
big orders were recently received. The
mills have just had their customary an
nual closing down for few days for gen.
eral repairs and overhauling and will open
ND this week Work on the material for
the dome of the new City Hall is progress
ing. The PARROT building contract is
about finished.
President Henry T. Scott of the Union
Iron Works is not particularly optimistic
as to the future. The works, he says, en-
ploys about 1000 men now, whereas IL Tor
merly gave work to 2200 men.
"If there has been any advance IN the
price of raw material he observed, u am
not aware of it. AS for manufactured prod
ucts the.dealers here never reduced their
prices. 1t is all very well to increase your
prices, but if you can't sell your products
what does it amount to?"
On the wage question General Manager
Dickie said I'VE are raising the wages OF
men individually all the time, more or less,
and sometimes we have to lower mans
wages. which naturally .goes against the
grain, you know.
'tIf we think man is worth more we In
crease his pay; if we think he is not worth
as much as our salary list calls for we re.
duce him. Whenever We advance salary
it is done voluntarily and IL is purely a
matter of merit. We are always willing to
paw good price for good man. That's
business as we understand it. Accom-
pIishment is what we look to, and then
who can do the best work commands the
highest figure in the labor market with US"
At the George w. Gibbs Company, the
Durham, Carrigan 81 Hayden Company
and Miller, Sloss & Seott's the information
was given that iron products, such as pipe,
bar and sheet iron and nails, had advanced
in price considerably in the Eastern mar
ket, though they differed in their figures.
On the coast nails had gone up in the last
sixty days from Is to 30 per cent, and
other products from 10 to ~ per cent.

Look you! We have had five plays by
the Frawley Company and the Unforgiv-
able Sin has stalked through every one.
"Sweet Lavender is the last chapter in
the story of a woman betrayed. 1.-THE

pant desires of lascivious old man.

ishly. 1.-The Senator holder than any,
grapples it sans gloves and chokes 1t in
the sight of men.
Did it ever occur to you-and, of course
have no idea who you are, so you may
answer or not as you chooSe-how much OF
a part The Unforgivable Sin plays In the
scale of our amusements?
1t is everywhere. 1t is the sob of tragedy,
the laugh of comedy, the mystery of melo-
drama, the fun of farce. 1t is the absorb
ing study of life. 1t is the greatest joke on
earth.
This is not nice thought. 1t is a
truth. You may look at it with smile or
a sneer-as I said before, l do not know
you-you may gaze down on it specula-
lively, turn it over with your foot, pick it
up daintily on the end of stick, stamp on
it brutally and cry out that it is ugly, I'M
wholesome, i'll smelling and pestilential,
but YOU will have to admit, in the end i,
that it is truth after all. You will have
to admit that it is a truth, even if it makes
YOU sad. Ay de mi And sometimes it
will.
Of all the FIVE plays 1.-THE Senator" is
the best, and of all the five it was best

that it hummed along as plays of that
order should do. 1t had life, go, zip. 1t

harmonious ensemble they have presented
to San Francisco.
It NAV be regarded as incumbent on any
one talking about 1.-THE Senator" as played
last week in San Francisco, to mention
that Mr.. Maclyn Arbuckle is not Mr.. Will
liam Crane. 1 expressly state, therefore,
that Mr. Arbuckle is not Mr.. Crane. And
having done what was expected of me, l
would like to be allowed to congratulate
Mr.. Arbuckle. Whatever disadvantages
this actor may have labored under,
throughout his stage career, he has at least
been spared the pain and effort of being
anybody else. And it cannot be counted
against him that he is himself. Nor can
it be thrown gracefully in the faces of the
Frawley Company that they are not

agreeably and cheerfully reproduced plays
which were first presented by these more

that while he is neither so violently cheer
full nor so aggressively energetic as Mr..
Crane, while he does not raise his voice
and howl as if with fell intent to wake the

BETTER TIMES COMING.
Governor Budd's Encouraging Words to
an Eastern Inquirer.


an Eastern Inquirer.
Governor Budd has prophesied that the
prospects of California this season will be
brighter than for years past. Yesterday
he received from the Chicago Tribune a
dispatch which reads:
What is your opinion as to the future pros
poets of California, and what are the indica-
tons of returning prosperity?
The Governor at once sent the following
reply:
The wave of better times which at first ap-
peared on Atlantic seaboard is gradually COM
ing this way. AS we were the last to feel the
depression, we are the last to experience the
reaction, but already the increased activity in
the manufacturing industries has given feel
ing of greater confidence, and the better
prices being realized for fruits and the prices
for cereal products and for wool have given to
the farming community new hope, all of which
combine to indicate a good season and re-
newed prosperity for California.
AS Governor Budd has recently travelled
over the State and is in touch with all
classes his opinion carries considerable
weight.
