new CEMENT PLANT
STARTS NEXT MONDAY

STARTS next MONDAY
Put together piece by piece until
it makes one Of the most complete
combinations Of machinery in the
county. the plant Of the United States
Portland Cement company, seven
miles east Of Florence, is now ready
to start up and will be treating the
cement shale Monday. The
machinery has been thoroughly tested
out and runs over satisfactory. This
trial run has been made TO supply
the machinery to demonst rate Its
capahility Of handling the rock as Il
runs through.
Monday, May 25. will 60 down into
Fremont county history as one Of
the most important days in Industrial
history here. The rock has be en-
going through the crusher for several
days and is stored in the bins over
the machinery to be put through the
kilns. There is plenty Of material
on hand now to mako the start Mon
day and enough will be accumulated
in the meantime so that there will
need be no shutdowns for some time
to come.
The plant will start off with
treatment capacity Of 500 barrels a
day. So that the capacity may be
increased at any time desired the
company constructed the buildings
large enough to permit the doubling
of the capacity of the plant. In
other words it was constructed on
the unit plan and when the occasion
demands an extra addition to the
machinery will bring the output up
to the desired point
This is one of the most model
cement plants in the United States,
the machinery being of the latest and
mots approved character. The build
ings are steel throughout and the
plant will be driven by electricity.
No money has been spared in the pur.
chase of equipment The motors are
of the three phase alternating current
tpye made by the General Electric
company.
The plant would have started up
a month ago but the transformers
were damaged in shipping, but they
have been repaired. The quarry has
been opened in workable shape and
next Monday the regular force Of mill
and quarry hands will be called to
work. The plant will afford employ.
ment to from sixty to seventy five
men.
The cement business in Fremont
county. with the exception of mining
OF coal, promises to become one of
the foremost industries In the next
few years. When the Portland
plant was built nine years ago, It
started off with capacity of about
one. third OF the new plant, and vet II
has been enlarged twice since and Its
present capacity Is about !, 600 barrels
day and there is good market for
every barrel manufactured.
As yet most Of the men who work
at the U. s. Portland are Florence
men and are residing here. driving to
and fro. Owing to the lack of ac-
commodations they will continue to
permit their families to remain In
Florence for several months. There.
fore Florence will be greatly benefited
by this new enterprise. There is a
boarding house ON the ground and
number Of men stop there.
