The Sylvan steel works are now en-
gagged in putting in new mill that
Will be Il record-breaker. 1t is a 10
inch continuous roughing mill with
an S-inch finishing train. TO run it
and the other machinery connected
with ii requires Il 140O-horsepower en-
gin, and this will be installed at once.
The engine that has been bought is
the best one that could be made and
viii do all the work that may be ask
ed of it. When this mill is installed
the capacity of the works will be dou-
bic what they are now. The works
have received two cargoes of German
iron this month and the freight bills
ON it have been considerably over $50
600. The entire freight bills of the
company for freight will be some
thing over $4,000 in the present
month. Beside the ocean and rail-
road freight on the iron there are
large bills for coal and domestic iron
and steel rails. This amount comes
very near being as large as the entire
yearly infreight bill of our largest
factories.
