IRON WORKS IN
VANCOUVER B. C.
Theodore II. Da les and Com
pany of Honolulu Make
a Purchase.

VANCOUVER, b. c., Jan. ST. II.
Davies & Co., owners of extensive iron
works in Honolulu and Liverpool, have
purchased the iron works of Armstrong
& Morrison of Vancouver, b. c., for
$250,000. A large cash deposit has al
ready been paid and one of the mem
bers of the Liverpool firm will be here
on Thursday to take over the works
which will be increased to double their
present capacity. There are now 100
hands employed.
The Davies company will employ $50.
They will erect foundry, install new
machines and equip the works so that
they can fill all metal orders from the
mining camps and make big steel cast
ings for smelters, bridges, etc, while
they will make a speciality of the manu-
features of stamp mills. In fact the
Davies company proposes to eXpend
100000 at once in the way of improve
ment on the plant and to eventually
eXpend $3.50 900 in addition to the pur-
chase price. The new manager to be
imported from England is at present
inspector at one of the Imperial Gov
eminent naval yards but has spent
most of his life in the manufacture tt
mining machinery.
