WESTINGHOUSE ID

NEARLY TWO MILLIONS OF NEW BUSINESS ON BOOKS OF BIG PITTsBURa MANUFACTURE
 ING COMPANY
Bar Iron Founders Agree to Keep Mills Going, on Belief that Lessened De- mand for Their Product Is Temporary Better Conditions Reported.

PITTSBURG, Pa., November 27.- Nearly $2,000,000 of new business has been placed on the books of the West inghouse Machine and the Westinghouse Electric X Manufacturing companies during the past week by concerns west of Chicago.
 It is rumored that plans for the early retirement of the receivers and a res toration of the business to the stock holders are being matured.
 There is a decided improvement in the industrial situation in this district. Many plants are increasing their work ing forces, and several that have been shut down are resuming The booking of heavy orders and an easier financial situation are responsible for the im- provement. There is a hopeful feeling among manufacturers.
 The Zug Iron X Steel company, which has been idle two weeks, resumed oper- ations in all departments today, giving employment to 1000 men. The Oliver Iron & Steel company and the Oliver X Snyder Steel company, commencing Sunday night, will increase their forces. For some time both plants have been running but two forces day. Many of the smaller concerns will resume on full time the first of next week.

Improvement in Connecticut

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November 27. Inquiry throughout the industrial sec
 tions of the state shows that whatever
 depression was brought about by the recent financial furry has passed away, and manufacturing establishments which temporarily curtailed production or reduced the time schedule of opera tiyes are now resuming nearly the same scale as existed for many months prior to October. The metal business. which felt the effect of uncertainty in the price of coper and which showed'a fall ing off before the monetary stringeney, is resuming activity slowly but eontinu- ally. The resumption of activity of op- erations of the plants in Bridgeport, which were obliged to curtail because of money conditions solely, is indica- tive of the general trend of business elsewhere. Reports in detail from the textile industries, more particularly in the eastern and northeastern parts of the state, show that recent conditions had little effect there, as orders were in hand for cotton goods and woolens ex- tending through many months.

FORMER CLERK FOR A PRESCOTT MINING COMPANY IS WANTED

It is stated that Frank Leckider of Big Bug indorsed the latter, believing the Long acre signature to be genuine.
 Brant has filled a responsible position with the Lookout Copper company for some time, under General Manager Longacre and other officials of the con- eern, and was employed for some time as right of way agent for the proposed narrow gauge railroad from the mouth of the Poland tunnel in Walker to the Bodie mine, and was also intrusted with other important business of the com pany.
 Before he boarded the train he in- formed an acquaintance that he was on his way to Phoenix to see the fair. He said Mir Longacre refused to grant him leave of absence and that he intended to return the following Sun day.

BONITA COMPANY
Local Concern Doing Good Work ir
 Graham County

Not more than month ago the first material was shipped from the Stafford depot to the mines of the Bonita com. pany, in the Lone Star district, says the Stafford Guardian. This consisted of all necessary machinery for a steam hoist, timber for the shaft, tents, cooking utensils, supplies, etc.
 A week later they began sinking a shaft. A windlass was used at first, but this was soon supplanted by a whim. Before the Guardian is issued again steam hoist will take the place of the whim. During the three weeks the shaft has been sunk eighty feet. The shaft is timbered as it is sunk It is 5x9 inside the timbers and is made double compartment.
 MT Woodward, who is having the work done, went to the mines last Tues day and expressed himself as being very much pleased with the progress made. The indications in the ground thus far broken fully come up to his expectations. All connected with the work are very much encouraged.
 About twenty-five men are being eon- stantly kept at work and more will be put on just as fast as places can be found for them. Good tents have been arranged and everything put up for the comfort of the men.
 During the past week R. J. Young, who is the mining engineer on the work, has had active charge of the work.

To Keep Making Bar Iron

NEW YORK, November 27.-The Eastern Bar Iron association decided at meeting in this city today to keep all mills running so long as the demand for bar iron does not fall 25 per cent be- low the normal volume. The association embraces about thirty concerns.
 The demand has fallen off somewhat since the money stringency began, but the founders believe. there is likely to be an increase in orders at any time. The iron is needed, they say, but future orders have been curtailed.
