times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be kept open with "ActOids"; a hot bath and

often give grateful relief. Two anti-kamnin

Thirty-fiye Acres on Chris

Ledoux for $S5,O00
PLANT MAY BE BUILT
FOR PYRITES COMPANY

Negotiations nave been completed
by Augustus d. Ledoux. of New York,
whereby he has purchased from the
Lobdell Car Wheel Company, through
the real estate department Of the viii
mington Trust Company. tract Of
thirty-ive acres Of land along the
Christiana River, the pending deal
having been told OF in THE EVENING
JOURNAL recently. The purchase price
was $4,000 The property LAYS along
the Lobdell Canal and runs down to
the land OF the Merchants Transpor-
tation Company. with a frontage on
the Christiana This plot does not
touch the Delaware River It is ru-
mored that additional land in that To-
cality NAV be bought if satisfactory
arrangements can be made.
The negotiations for this property
have been pending for some time, rs
was previously stated II had been
reported in financial circles that the
purchaser was acting for the Pyrites
Company. Ltd. and Mr.. LedouX ad-
mits that i'm making the purchase he
represents a man who hopes to induce
the above company to take over the
property.
AS a matter Of fact it is understood
that plans have been drawn for a
plant on the site The main business
Of this concern. which is an English
company. is the importation and sale
Of Spanish Pyrites. an ore sometimes
used by fertilizer and chemical manu-
facturers.
The company has never itself used
Pyrites. and does not contemplate
any manufacture from il.
Formerly the residue after treat
ment. consisting entirely of oxide o
iron with a very low percentage o
copper. was thrown away as waste
material but in these days of con
servation it has become Of som'
value as a source Of iron. and it Il
returned to the company. The in
tention would be to extract the small
amount of copper, cnd to clinker th'
balance for blast furnace use as al
iron ore.
It is anticipated that a large plan
will be started on the site in a shor
time that ill be a c~editable addition
to the industries of Wilmington. Tn
