SCHEME TO ERECT COKE OVENS.
Universal Fuel About Ready
to Begin Operations.

Universal Fuel Company About Rendy
to Begin Operations
Kilian II. Seibel. general western manager
for the Universal Fuel company of Chicago,
the company which contemplates building
coke ovens in Council Bluffs and other cities
in this state, is expected here today or to-
morrow at the latest. His visit here at
this time will be to look the ground over
and attend to the prelimlnaries for securing
the necessary trackage and land. on which
to locate the plant. According to recent
statements made by Mr.. Seibel, the company
which he represents intends building the
coke plants this summer.
The present plans of the Universal Fuel
company are to erect coke plants of 100 ovens
each in Ottumwa, Des Moines, Council
Bluffs, Davenport and Dubuque. The first
plant to be built will be the one in Du-
buque, the company at present being UNI
decided whether Des Moinec or this city Will
get the second plant fret. Statements made
by Mr.. Scibel are to the effect that the cost
of erecting 100 ovens will be $s5, 600 and that
the construction of the plant will give EN-
ployment to about 100 skilled laborers. Each
oven, 1t Is estimated, will coke about five
tons Of coal every twenty-four hours and the
plant Will give constant employment to about
forty men. The company hopes, by man
ufacturing coke in large quantities, to fur
nish fuel for all the manufacturing plants
in this city and Omaha, the coke to take the
place OF soft coal, thus doing away with the
dirt and smoke incident to the use OF the
latter. ....I ...
The company will not manufacture gas
itself, but stands ready to bring in an out
side concern which will erect a 5000 600 gas
works. Contrary to reports which have
hitherto been published, gas will not be
manufactured for lighting, but simply for
fuel, so the entrance of this new company
can have 40 bearing on the municipal light
ing question. The gas will be of a low
grade and will be only OF about fourteen
candle power. The expectations are to
furnish this fuel gas to the manufacturing
plants across the river.
Although no options have been secured as
yet by the Universal Fuel company on any
land in this city, 1t is believed that the
company will locate its plant along track
age to be furnished by the Burlington rail-
road. A letter received by an official OF
that road within the last few days indicates
that Mr.. Seibel will certainly be in this
city before the end OF the week.
