On Thursday, General Geo. Hughes

erected. 1t is expected that the plant
will be in operation by Dec. first. The
capacity of the plant will be 200 tons
per day and the Consolidated Coal Co.
has contracted to furnish this amount of
Ignite daily, which, in addition to their
regular orders, means that the company
must put on an additional force of 30 to
50 men. General Hughes has been
working on the briquetting proposition
for the past 10 years and knows Just
what he is doing. His company will
manufacture d fuel that will be equal to
the Pennsylvania anthercite which has
made the Key Stone state famous, and
