LARGEST WINDMILL IN THE EAST.
Mr.. A. j. Corcoran Manufactured It
For La Guayra, Venezuela.

The largest windmill ever manufactur-
ed in the East was turned out at the
factory of Al. J. Corcoran, corner of Jer-
sey avenue and Thirteenth street, several
days ago. The mill, standing over 100
feet high, was shipped to La Guayra,
Venezuela. 1t was marked "H. L. b.
For nearly a week the mill stood in
the yard adjoining the factory. It was
inspected by hundreds of persons inter-
ested in the work When it was found to
be satisfactory, the mill was taken down
and packed for shipping. It was loaded
on truck, drawn by six horses, and was
taken to the Brooklyn Annex boat, en-
route to Brooklyn. from where it was to
be sent South. The company would not
allow the truck and its load on the boat.
1t was too heavy The Pennsylvania
ferry was then tried, but it was found
impossible to board boat at high tide.
The mill finally reached Brooklyn
Mr.. Corcoran described the mill last
night He said THE mill is the biggest
outfit ever turned out. 1t was built for
the city of La Guayra, and will be used
to pump water into the reservoir. 1t will
take the place of a steam plant, and it
has a capacity of pumping $50 gallons
per minute and is of fifteen horse power,
although under a heavy wind twenty-five
horse power can be obtained. One Of the
castings weighs $500 pounds. The corner
posts of the tower weighs over LOO
pounds. It is built similarly to railroad
bridge construction work"
Mr.. Corcoran is a firm believer in pa
tronizing local business men for his sup-
plies. Every inch of wood. every nail,
etc, was purchased in this city The
iron of which the mill Is constructed was
furnished by the Pagan Iron Works or
Hoboken.
Mr.. Corcoran also has orders for two
mills for johannesburg, South Africa
These mills will be larger than the one
shipped to South America Work has
been suspended on them until after the
war. 1T is impossible to land any ex>
ports in that country during the present
hostilities.
Mr.. Corcoran said that this year has
been the most successful in his business
career. To prove this Mr.. Corcoran add
ed, MY salary list, since January l. has
amounted to but little short of $29, 000."
