BIG STEELPLANTFOR RICHMOND
S2,OOO.00O Enterprise said 10 BE About
to Be Located at the State Capital.

Special 10 The Washington Post
Richmond, Va, June H.-Much interest
Is manifested in a report that Boston cap
italists are negotiating for the location OF
a big steel plant in Richmond to cost
100000. The negotiations have not been
completed. but 1t is believed the prospects
are favorable to their successful cOnsum-
nation. A well-known gentleman of this
city said to-day he had reason TO believe
the works would be located here.
Virginia iron is made in close proximity
to Richmond, and coal is mined in Ches-
terfield County, Just across the river. The
amount of steel consumed by Richmond
manufactures every year would seem TO
be an inducenent.
The Richmond Locomotive and Machine
Works alone would consume a great pOr-
ton of the output of a steel plant. These
works are said 10 be building more loco
motives now than any other plant in the
United States. with one exception.
