the ground viii possibly take q month
or six weeks at which time ii IS fig
ured the steel manufacturers will be
able TO pile the material on the ground
for immediate erection. Orders for mo-
tors and machinery VIII be immedi-
ately placed upon the adjustment OF
land matters and by the time the steel
manufacturers have their erection fair
" under way the concrete floors in
the buildings viii be brought forward
to such point that the placing Of ma
ously.
Be Running IN Sir Months.
The construction crews on this work
viii possibly average $50 men all told
favorably It is figured that the fac
tory will be running at half capacity
within six months after starting Of
construction.
The payroll at the end Of six months
should list about go employees and it
is conservat1vely figured that at the
end of eight months the operation
should be running at full capacity
which means the employment OF 500
persons.
WIZ Employ Skilled Men.
The major portion Of employees en-
gagged In this operation VIII be skilled
wOrkmen who are in the habit Of draw
ing high wages. IN the matter Of en-
plOyment the plant offers great adj
Vantages to the young men Of FL PasO
owing 10 the high percentage Of skfl1e1
labor employed as it is figured that
the local young men win be DESTROYS Of
following up the advantages offered
and gradually take the place of out
slde skilled laDorers as time progresses.
The payrols when once the plant IS
IN operation should amount to at least
$45O,00O q year.
The NH Output.
The main capacity viii have a ca
pactty Of $4,000 feet Of lumber per
day. The cutting capacity will be from
o5u'OUg to 100000 teet per day and
Of 100000 Of dressed lumber and floor
ing per day. The main factory viii be
24O by $50 feet win be Of steel and
concrete and viii be three OF four
stories high. All the machines win be
motor driven. eliminating shafting en-
tirely. A compressed air plant win re-
move the dust from the air and trav-
elm cranes VIII handle the raw ma
terial and finished product
A lumber storage plant will be built
IN connection which will have q ca
VIII measure $50 by $40 feet. The
power plant wiz be 100 by $50 feet and
VIII have two 100 kilOwat generator
units In addition monora1 system
VIII be installed at the plant similar
to that now in use at the Pearson, Chi
huahua mills, machine shop, filing
room and mOnoral car barn will be
built The entire pant viii cover 38
acres.
Paper Mills to Come Next
In addition to the woodworking
manufa curing plant which win be
built at once, the paper mills will be
erected as soon as the first unit IS
completed. This viii cost $500, 900 and
VIII utilize the output of the big pulD
mills now being built at Pearson, Chi
huanua. This plant viii give employ
ment to several hundred additional men.
many of them being high salaried ex-
pert paper makers.
With the woodworking plant the pa
per mills and the other AUXILIARY fac
tories, the Pearson cOmpany's plant in
El Paso VIII be valued at more than
100000 and VIII be the largest in
not in the world
VIII BE Largest In the World.
The plans as drawn by the engineers
cover the largest woodworking manu-
featuring plant In the world. The main
factory building. in which will be in
stalled the planning machines. band re-
saws, cutting up machines and all ma
chimes which VIII turn out the finished
product will be constructed entirely
Of steel, dimensions 24O feet wide BY
$50 feet long. This steel building has
been designed with ample lighting ca
pacity to distribute the light equally
throughout the buildings so that opera
tors OF machines may work under the
most advantageous conditions. The
ribbed glass alone in this building VIII
constitute an item of about 100 900
square feet. Steel rolling doors OF
the klnnear type viii be used on the
sides OF the buildings to permit the
gAA-AAH DNEA4lllA Oh the DuALQluE during
hot weather and also entire closing Of
buildings during cold or stormy
weather
All machines will be direct motor
driven, doing away with shafting. long
belts, etc, which contribute largely
to accidents in manufacturing plants OF
this nature. Compressed air will be.
used to keep the buildings free from
the accumulation Of dust and thus
eliminate fire risk
All planners. Watchers, resa7vs. band
edgers, sash, door and box machines
VIII be Of the very latest design. au-
Overhead travelling cranes viii be in
stalled to convey the lumber units from
place to place, thereby eliminating the
use OF hundreds Of trucks which ordi-
narily interfere with operations
Cutting Capacity Enormous.
The cutting up capacity of the fac
tory alone viii be fn the neighbOrhOOI
Of $4,000 to 400. 900 feet Of lum ben. per
out question the largest contemplated
to date. and the study Of handling of
the stock has been carried out to q
degree where it is figured the cost of
that Of the modern mills Of the pres
ent day
In addition to this large cutting up
capacity the planning mill will turn out
100000 feet Of dressed lumber. siding, I
flooring and holding each day. The
major portion Of this cutting up stock
viii be shipped as box shocks and the
balance manufactured into sash and
doors. which will be distributed
throughout the country.
MOnoraH System to Be Used.
The monorau system, or overhead
trolley system. which is Incorporated
In the plans Of the Pearson plant VIII
constitute the largest and most com
plete handling system yet designed. /
This system is planned TO work In con
Junction with the system now being
