Mr.. Weisenberger Is well pleased
with the progress that has been made
20 far on building No. of the Keo-
kuk Electro Metals plant, which is
situated just south of Taber's mill.
He visited the location this morning
and reported that the work is up to
requirements in every way. The foun-
dations, as has already been reported
IN The Gate City, are all in now and
the steel construction is going on. A
large part of the steel has already

are still to come, however.
No other buildings will be started

one going up now, Mr.. Weisenberger
stated today. at least not until the
. present one is in operation. A large
tract of land has been purchased
south of Taber's mill and it is said

The product Of the plant will be a
semi-manufactured steel that will be
shipped to the furnaces and rolling
mills in Pittsburgh, Gary, South Chi
cago and other plants where it will
be made into the finished steel pro-
duct. The original estimates were
that 400 carloads Of raw ore would
be used yearly at the plant.
Contracts also have been made with
4 the different ore companies to supply
the metals which will be needed in
the manufacture of this raw steel, or
ferro-silicates. The ores used will be
iron, silica, aluminium, carbon and
various others of the ores necessary
to make up the material into what can
be termed raw steel.
The three big furnaces where the
I product will be made, will not be
shipped until the building is COM
pleted, Mr.. Weisenberger said. The
cement foundations for these have al
ready been built. The president
stated that the capacity of the plant
could not be determined at the pres
ent time.
