The Board of Directors of the Enter
prise Enameling Company met yester-
day, and business relating to improve
ments recently made and Others con-
templated was transacted. The new
mammoth stamping machine recently
purchased has been been put in posi-
ton and would have been given in in
itial test yesterday, had it not been
for the fact that an exchange of belt
wheels was necessary and the new
piece had just arrived. The machine
weighs $4,000 pounds, or 2S tons, and
is by all odds the largest in this sec
ton of the country. 1t stamps a vessel
% inches in diameter and holding over
five gallons. The business Of the firm
is said to be flourishing, two car loads
of product being shipped weekly. Con-
tracts for erecting the three story add
ton, 81 by 12S feet, will be let in the
near future, and the directors have
figured that it will be more economical
and at the same time more acceptable
to have a we'll drilled to furnish
water for the plant rather than to pay
the city for the privilege. The Enter
prise now has a big run on miners
cups, which go to the big miners sup
ply houses west of the Rockies and
some of them to the Klondike.
