William inland of Cheyenne, master
mechanic for the Wyoming division,
who arrived last night from the west
and spent the forenoon here, left for
the east at 1880 this afternoon, his
official car being attached to a freight
train. While here he was visited in
his car by District Foreman Dan Sui.
livan and a reporter for The Repub-
lican. Mr.. inland had been to Green
River inspecting the district shops OF
the division, and was not very well in
formed of the latest developments in
this end of his territory. He informed
The Republican, however, that the
company is planning to start the roll
March, when it will be ready TO meet
any demand that may be made upon it.
He was not posted as to the orders
from Cheyenne to put a larger force
of men to work in getting the mill
ready.
There is some machinery and ma
terial on the road now" he said, land
until that arrives there is no need of a
much larger force of men than at pres.
ent. The men could be placed here
and finish up what work is to be done,
but they would be compelled to lay off
again, and so, l presume, they will not
be sent here until there is work
enough cut out for them to keep them
going until the mill is ready to start.
THE large boilers to be placed
alongside the one already connected
are expected about the goth. and they
VIM be installed when they arrive.
Mr.. Sullivan tells me that eighteen of
the new rolls have arrived, and that
he has dressed the face of six of them
at the shops, so that when Mr.. Sholl
starts up his lathes at the mills they
will be ready to be shaped to the re
quired size. Mr.. Sholl and his son will
work on the new lathes day and night,
almost, in getting the little mill ready
for business within the next thirty
days"
Mr.. Sullivan gave some of these de-
tails. He said the little mill could be
ready within the next thirty days
without any trouble. He Is nov fit
ting the behs t o the two lathes bed
lded last week and has one engine
about ready to be used o. this part of
the work. As soon as the engine is
ready to start he will have the SIX
blank rolls sent to the mill, where
they will be shaped.
1.-THE big mill and the squeezer will
be placed in readiness later" Mr.. Sui
lliyan said. 1.-THE company will furnish
steel billets for the first run of +
from the mill, and the big squeezer
will not be needed on that. 1t Will be
erected to care for the scrap iron and
the other billets to be made in the mill
II may not be started for three or four
months yet.
81 am expecting the arrival of the
new boilers. one of them with a ca
pacity of 200-horse power, and VIII
lose no time in getting them in shape
THE authorities at Omaha are stirring
both Mr.. INLAND and myself to a hurry
pitch. and we are doing the best we
can. The company wants the stun we
propose to turn out at the mill ano
they will get it when we get what We
need to make it. Let them send the
stuff we want and we'll furnish the
%output so hot from the rolls that they
will burn their fingers.
Mr.. inland expressed himself as en-
tirely satisfied with what is being
laone at the mill and believes 1t Will
start with a rush when it e start.
