ring or the machinery, workmen NOV
ing about from ship to ship and shop
to shop. all contribute to the hum of in
duslry and it is safe to say that no
plant in the United States today can
show as much activity as is seen here
in the yard of the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company.
The three new Morgan Liners, which
were recently started at the yard, are
moving along rapidly Today the ships
received their plates and in Il short time
they will assume the appearance OF Il
ship. where now only the kees and ribs
are seen. All three of these vessels are
being constructed on the same plans
and they will be ff,shed about the same
time.
If no accident happens and the ships
are completed ready for launching
about the same time, the prospect will
be good for a triple launching.
The Newport News Shpbuiliing and
the first tandem launching from the
same set of ways and also was the first
plant to launch two irst-class battle
ships in one day. To launch three ships
in one day. especially vessels Of such
large dimensions. would be an UNDER
| taking of no small risk but the local
company has the knack of preparing
ships for launching down to a fine point
and it is safe to say hat if the three
Morgan Liners are baptized in the
James on the same DAY the tele VIII
be successful in every respect.
Work on the excavation for the new
dry dock ut the shpyard was COM
menced in earnest Thursday afternoon
and the work will now be hurried to
completion.
For the past two months the pile
driver has been busy sinking piles on
each side and at the inner end Of the
dock site. this being done in order to
give the basin necessary support on all
sides. The work has been done under
the supervision of Mr.. A. Y. Alsop, en-
gineer for the yard. IT is estimated
that the work on the dock will consume
twelve months or more before com
| pleted.
y large force of men is now engaged
on the work. but not SO large as the
! management expects to put on, and
would have put on before but for the
| fact that it has been extremely diff
cult to obtain sufficient force. More
| men are needed, and jobs are waiting
| at the yard for those who are out OF
work and want work.
The steamship Hausa. which arrived
| here several days ago with a broken
propeller will be sent into the drydock
at the shipyard as soon as the steam
ship Ito is taken out.

, Seems Surely Scheduled to Reach New
| port News.
/ AS the days pass by. little by little
! the rum"r OF the erection of Il new ar
| mor-platc and ordnance factory in
connection with the shipyard seems to
t; be confirmed There appears no
longer to be any doubt about
the fact that Newport News is on the
eve of great Industrial boom. Mr.
Huntington is determined to increase
the capacity Of his plant at this CITY
and to do this. it is believed. he has de-
cided to take in foreign capitalists who
visited Newport News last week While
in the city Mr.. Huntington. Mr.. circuit
and Messrs. MacKay. Dunn and Cross
ley lifted the mysterious veil that sur
rounded their movements when they
first arrived and in consequence quite
Il number of persons now know the de
tails OF the deal for which ncgotia-
tinns are pending. if indeed it has not
already been conSummated
The information has been received
with general satisfaction everywhere
and the people are looking forward to
busy period for Newport News in the
early future. If, as believed by the ma
Jority of those who are acquainted With
the proposed extensions to the Ship
yard. Mr.. Huntington decides to take
the foreign capitalists in with him in
the combined shipbuilding. ordnance
and arnor-plate manufacturing plant
he will pave the way for an industry
that will employ the largest number OF
hands engaged by any one concern in
the United States.
The time is not far distant when the
shipyard itself Will have 5000 worknen
on its pay rolls regularly. The estab-
lishnent of an armor-pate plant and
ordnance factory will mean the employ
ment of fully 5000 more workmen.
This will mean a large increase OF
population for Newport News. more
money in circulation, business better
in all its branches. will be the means of
drawing more capital in this direction
aud ultimately will result in the estab-
lsh:nent of other Industries Of which
the city is so much in need at the pres
ent time.
Nothing definite can be said at the
present time about the proposed watch
factory and sugar refinery. but it is
known that a large real estate concern
in Newport News has agreed to give =
large tract OF land for a certain other
Industry that will shortly be establish
ed here if there is no hitch in the plans
of the promoters. Nothing can be
learned of the details of this movement
but the source from which 1t comes is
guarantee that it is bona fide.
