PUSHING CONSTRUCTION

BiLT As FAST As POSSIBLE.
Mechinery is Ordered, Lumber Con
tract Let, and Work Has Begun.

An Optis reporter called upon Jos. L
Matt who is going to erect the 25-tor
copper mill, using the Standish pro
cess, upon the site recently donates
by the city, yesterday and CLEANED the
following facts in regard to the con
struction of the mill.
Mr.. Matt and c. p. McCambridge
have just returned from Denver
where they went to purchase the ma
chinery for the plant. and as there
has been considerable doubt expires.
sed by many in the city In regard to
the immediate construction Of the
mill, the reporter took pains to ascer-
tain just what had been accomplished,
and, Judging from the conversation Of
Mr.. Matt. 1t is safe to say that he will
employ methods in the construction Of
this mill totally In variance with those
OF any promoter who has SO far visit
ed this section, tn as much as he
evidently does not propose to allow
the grass to grow under his feet while
the construction Of the mill Is under
way.
Mr.. Matt stated that he had pur-
chased all the necessary machinery in
Denver With the exception Of two
pieces, which the firm there was un-
able to supply, as they we're Of a
special mold, SO he was compelled TO
order one Of the pieces from Chicago
and the other from Philadelphia, but
as they were ordered by wire, their ar
rival will not delay the construction
Of the mill
Upon going to Denver 1t was Mr..
Mats intention TO purchase machin-
cry for a 25-ton plant, but after think
ing the matter over and considering
the possibilities OF such plant here,
he changed his mind and purchased
machinery that would enable him to
increase the output OF the mill TO l50
tons at very moderate increase Of
cost, which will enable him to han
die the entire copper output Of this
vicinity II necessary.
The machinery has been bought and
paid for and will be shipped az fast
as the machinery company is able to
place It on the cars, It ought to be-
gin to arrive here during the fore part
Of next week, while the lumber and
other material have been ordered de.
livered on the site ACROSS the track
from Belden's dairy just as soon Is
possible, and It will probably begin
to arrive on the ground tomorrow.
