an enlarged scale. Part of the machinery
has already been ordered and will be on
the ground and ready TO be placed as soon
as the building is replaced, which will
possibly be done within sixty days.
The new mill will be larger than the
one destroyed by fire two weeks ago and
will be built of fire proof material The
large engine which was used In operating
the machinery in the nail mill and wire
mill adjoining has already been replaced
and the wire mill was put back in opera
ton with but one or two days delay.
The men who were thrown out of their
regular employment by the burning of
the nail mill were retained on the pay
roll and are engaged in other departments
and will also be engaged in the placing
of the new machinery when it arrives.
1t is officially announced that the wire
fence department is to be enlarged and
supplied with new and improved maehin-
cry which will increase the capacity about
so per cent.

cal mills of the Southern Steel company
Is very large and is keeping ahead of
the capacity
