A BIG FERTILIZER PLANT.
Richmond GuanO Company to Elk
tend Its Large Establishment.

The large, new plant OF the Richmond
Guano Company is rapidly going up. AL
though 1t has only been few days since
this enterprise was reorganized and in
corporated. under the laws of Virginia,
with capital stock OF 500, OOO contractors
have gotten well started upon their work.
The plant Is to be a very large one. and
will be fully equipped with the latest i'm
proved machinery for the manufacture
of acid phosphate, chemicals. and fertii-
zers. The new factory will be ready for
operation about the LIST OF December.
The chemical and fertilizer-works of
this company will be situated in Henrico
county, about one half mile below the
corporate limits OF the city Of Richmond,
at the old homestead of king Powha-
TAM" ON the banks of the James river.
The location is entirely above high-water
mark during floods, and the depth OF the
water Of James river at this point is suf-
ficient to float the largest size ocean
vessels, thus giving this advantage in
the unloading at a minimum expense
such materials OF foreign and home pro-
duction as are necessary to be trans
ported by water for the manufacture Of
chemicals and fertilizers. In addition to
the river facilities, the works will be
completely surrounded by railways.
The Richmond Guano Company COM
menced business in Richmond In 1892.
when it first placed its brands on the mar
ket, and it's trade has steadily increased
each year. In order TO supply the in
creased demand the company found 1t
necessary to increase its capital and build
a larger factory. The members OF the
concern associated with them Messrs.

son, president; w. S. Forbes, yice-presi-
dent; and James A. Moncure, secretary

U. 8. Court Proceedings.

A Carson paper says that what is
known as the Muzzer case was dis
posed of iii tue U. S. circuit court by
Judge Hawley yesterday. The case
is of considerable Importance as it
entails and important decision to
many Washoe valley settlers.
The decision emb2dies five dis
tinct cases and with 10 defendants
and the Sierra Nevada Wood and
Lumber Company named in the com
plant. The history of the case is as
follows: ...-.
In 1854 when the Sioux reservation
was sold according to an act of Con-
gress and the Indians reimbursed In
script. OF which one Charles Muzzer
was entitled to certificate for 48O
acres. Muzzer before receiving the
certificate disappeared, and years
later an Indian purporting to be that
party appeared before a Commits
sioner and demanded his claim.
Upon furnishing what was believed
to be adequate Identification his de-
mands were complied with and he
took up land in Washoe county,
Nevada, which he afterward sold for
large consideration to Immigrants.
"A short time ago the genuine Chas.
Muzzer applied to Washington for
his rights and proved the fraudulent
transaction of past years. The gov.
eminent Immediately began suit
against the Washoe settlers to com
pei them to vacate the lad. of which
they were innocent purchasers and
which they had improved to the ex-
tent OF thousands of dollars.
The case was decided in favor of
the purchasers. General Clark an.
