Turner is an acknowledged expert in
his line, and brings to his work the
ripe experience of about twenty eight
years. He is native of New Hamp-
shire, starting on his apprenticeship
at Holley, n. V, in 1871. Ten Nears
later he removed to Cnerryvale, Kan,
and after about year and half IN
that town, went to Colony, where he
remained couple of Yeas He next
moved to NeoshO Falls, where for
about eleveI years he followed his
chosen vocation and still owns har-

der the guidance ana skill of the
more enterprising and far sighted
These men have proven themselves
the real philanlhropi+ts of the times,
aud have borne the standard of prI-
gress to great victories. AS manu-
facturer of spelter, Mr.. Geo +. Mich
olson brings to his enterprises the
perfect knowledge of detail acquired
through years Of personal experience
as u superintendent of works Two
years ago he built the smelter plant,
which he still owns, in Nevada, Mo-,
an enterprise that was a success from
its inception. On deciding to estab-
lish second enterprise last summer
Mr. Nicholson made an inspecting
tour of the Kansas gas belt and that
lola was selected as site, he solely
attributes to the superior natural ad-
vantages of this favored section.
Twelve acres of 9ronnd were secur-
ed, IA gas well sunk, and construction
work begun on September Is last
When in full operation, which will be
by March |, the plant will have an
output of 30 900 pounds of zinc daily
and give employment to from so to
100 men. The pottery department
has been in operation for month
past, and the furnaces will start about
January 10. One block of furnaces Ia
now nearing completion, and excava.
tion has begun on second block
The investment aggregates $75, 900,
and an idea OF the magnitude of this
enterprise may be CLEANED from the
following description of the buildings
which incorporate the most modern
ideas: Pottery building, Including
engine room, 50xl10 feet, two stories;
crusher building, 30x4S feet, mostly a
two'story structures; kiln building,
46x66 feet; two furnace buildings,
each 60Xl00 feet. The auxiliary build
ings include mix rooms, blacksmith
shop, scale house, etc. An indepen-
dent switch connects with the Mo. p.

vantsges are perfect. Shipments are
