STEEL PLANT

For several days the plant Of the
Diamond State steel Company, in
South Wilmington, which mas been idle
for so many months has been under
going a thorough inspection by several
men. Who the men are or
what ther intentions are cannot be

arc steel men from Pennsylvania, who
are here 70 see what condition the plant
as in, with view to purchasing it.
For several weeks a number of labor
ers have been working about the yards
cleaning up loose material and several
men have been working in the mills,
making what repairs are necessary to
the machinery. In fact they have been
putting the plant in first class order.
