try" last night had this to say of this
phase of the new Birmingham industry:
Limestone is to be quarried with
steam shoyels, crushed in giant erushers
and screened. The large stone will be
used for lime and fiux and the smaller
sizes, including the fine dust ordinarily
thrown away, will be employed 4 for ce-
ment manufacture. Nothing will be vast
ed. The cement will be made by mix
ing with the limestone shale and what
ever slate is obtained from the coal min
ing operations.
''The lime is made by burning the lime
stone in upright lxilns, especially designed
for the plant 1t will be handled auto
matically by machinery. crushed and hy-
drafted in long cylinders, in which the
lime and water are mixed. The machin-
cry used will be of the latest type and
designed to give the finest product OBJ
tainable for building purposes. The sack
ing will be done in packers in which the
amount of lime is weighed automatically
ana, strange to say, the bags will be tied
before they are filled. the latter being
done through a small opening or valve
in the bottom of the bag and by means
of a small tube at the sacking machine.

Plant at Village Springs
As announced in The Age-Herald sew
eral days ago, the Blount Mountain Ce-
ment Coal and Lime company, which is
the company being organized and de-
veloped by these men, within the next
few months is going to erect at Village
Springs, in Blount county, just across
the northern border line of Jefferson
about % miles from Birmingham, a great
Portland cement plant and lime plant
and operate coal mines on some 500,00l
acres of land which they have acquired.
The company is capitalized at $2,000,000.
The output of the first cement plant
unit 1t is going to construct will be in
tile neighborhood of half a Edllion barrels
annually The lime plants will produce
about 10000 tons annually and the fluxing
stone plant will produce not less than
1000 tons per day.
