Big Industry for Saltville.

The Bristol News: The United
States Plate Glass Company. We are
reliably informed, has about con-
cluded arrangements for the pur.
chase of the matheson Alkali Works
at Saltville, Va. Our information
also states that the purchasers will
build a million and half dollar
plant for the manufacture of Amer
lean plate glass.
The soda ash, which is made by
the present plant, is carbonate of
soda, and the latter is largely used
in the manufacture Of plate glass.
also in making soap, &c.
The United States Plate Glass
Company will continue the manufac-
ture of salt, but this will be the
secondary and not the prime product
of this big concern. The glass
making business will be the chief
industry of this mammoth concern,
using, as stated above, the soda ash
product of the Alkali works, ana
also the excellent quality glass pro.
duceiug sand which abounds there.
The present plant covers more
than fifty acres, and the new glass
plant to be erected will occupy fully
as much or more space. The i'm.
mensity of this concern will thus be
seen. Thousands OF Mechanics will
be employed and vast quantities OF
raw material consumed.
