An area that has hitherto been

Spokane valley, is to be brought un-
der a high state of cultivation on

FOUNDRY POURS
ITS FIRST HEAT
NEW TONOPAH PLANT Is NOW
IN FULL OPERA
TION.

The new foundry of the Tonopah
Foundry and Machine Company is at
last in full operation and is pre-
pared to handle all kinds of machine
and foundry work. The first heat
was successfully poured yesterday
afternoon and General Manager Tay-
Tor is jubilant over the result. The
blast furnace was fired about 3
o'clock and about an hour and a half
later they were ready to pour. The
weight of the metal poured was $500
pounds and was used principally in
casting parts for the company's own
use. Everything went off exactly as
planned. The capacity of the fur
mace is considerably in excess of yes
terday's heat, in fact is capable of
handling 10000 pounds. AS far as
can be learned orders are already on
hand to keep the plant going for
some time, but the plant is now
ready to receive and execute all ad-
ditional orders.
