Ensley, February Especially Ground
was broken today for the plant of the
Southern Street Car Manufacturing COM
pany's plant. The site of the proposed
industry is on the other side of Village
creek between Ensley and Pratt City. The
situation is a most desirable one, being
located between the main line OF the
Frisco and the Louisville and Nashville
railroads. Zuber & Co. have the grading
contract and this will be pushed rapidly
to completion, so that the way may be

The main structure of the plant will

used as the shops proper. The manage
ment of the company has decided not
to erect a commissary building. The
cost of the Original plant is estimated at
500, 900.
The company was organized with cap
ital of $4,000, but it is soon TO be in

New Machine About Completed.
The new mixing machine that is being
installed in the steel plant of the Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Railway company,
will soon be ready to be put in operation.
This is one of the most important addi-
tions that has been made to the steel
mill in the last year or two.
The machine is a large affair, being
covered over by an iron structure, which
greatly adds to the appearance of the
plant. The machine is an innovation in
southern steel manufacturing. 1t is es-
timated that 1t will almost double the
capacity of the MILL without increasing
the force.
The chief feature of the mixer is that
1t will carry the raw iron and the scrap
iron through a continual pi ocess of heat
ing. The ingredients necessary in making
steel are placed in the machine, where
they are thoroughly mixed and at the
same time heated. The mixer is then tilted
and the red hot mixture taken to the
open hearth furnaces. BY this means it
is deprived of a large quantity of car
bon. thereby shortening the time of heat
ing in the furnaces by almost half
