as surveying and getting everything in
shape will be started the first of the
week. and the contract calls for the
completion of the plant by April 1.

$50 tons small enough to start in with.

tests made in San Francisco. effects a
saving of 9s lilo per cent, and the plans
submitted by the Denver concern and
approved by the management, are com
