yesterday of forty members of Upton

Mr.. Sinclair admitted today that
three weeks ago enough dynamite was
found in the cellar of the building to
have blown the structure to fragments.
This statement taken in conjunction
with the findings of a piece of the ex-
plosive alongside the wreck of the
boilers on Saturday afternoon has

Pittsburg, Kan. March 19-E V.
Lanyon has purchased the old w. & J.
Lanyon smelters in the east part of
P1ttsburg, and will at once begin the
work of getting them in shape to
start up.
He will raze the old buildings to the
ground and in their stead build a two
story brick structure of a. dl1ra BILE ma
ture and build a new pottery factory,
engine room and boiler room and put
in new machinery throughout, and in
1act oulId an entire new plant and put
all machinery and fixtures in first class
shape.
The plan now is to build. a gas fur.
mace and manufacture his own gas
and use it for fuel and furnish it direct
to the furnace, making the plant prac-
ucally a gas smelter, and will have
the advantage of regulating its own
pressure.
If everything turns out as it looks
like to me- said Mr.. Lanyon, Pitts
burg ought to regain it's old time posi-
ton as spelter producing city. There
are, OF course, places where coal is
cheaper than ccal can be had in Pitts
burg and vicinity, but being closer to
the ore fields and having the best
quality of coal, much better than the
Illinois coal. makes it a more prefer
able place in which to locate.
Il will go to work at once getting
the plant in shape. 1 have already
been ordering machinery for the plant
and I will build the plant with a view
OIL IN the
Il feel perfectly safe in making the
investment and the idea of manufac-
turing my own gas will make the fuel
required to run the plant cost me
much less than it would otherwise
The old plant purchased by Mr..
Lanyon was a two block plant, but
Mr.. Lanyon expects to build a larger
plant to start with.
The old W. & ]. Lanyon works oc-
cupies a tract of about thirteen acres
in the east part of the city.
The smelters are located east of the
Santa Fe yards, and west of the sewer
pipe works.
The Cherokee-Lanyon Spelter COM
pany owns the land adjoining on the
west, and the Central Coal & Coke
company owns the land adjoining on
the east and also south.
E. V. Lanyon. who will open up the
works. already is an extensive smelter
operator, having lately erected two
new plants of smelters at Bartlesville,
1. T., two different companies being
organized to operate those work, Mr.
Lahyon being president of both. He
is president of the National bank of
Pittsburg of this city, and. of course
is deeply interested in Pittsburg.
