FINE NEW GIN
WILL BE BUILT
BYMESAF0LkS

A new cotton gin, modern in every
way, possibly the best gin yet to be
erected in the Salt River valley, will
be built Immediately by the Mesa
Egyptian Cotton Exchange, according
to announcement made last week.
This gin will be built on the site of
the old gin that burned down last

improved features. The building will
be constructed of concrete and twice
as large as the old building, with twice
the capacity. The main building will
be 35X75 feet with 16-foot wall, one
story in height
There will be a number of storage
houses and other buildings necessary
to. the carrying on of a large ginning
business. 1t lis contemplated to begin
construction at once so that the gin
will be ready to start work as soon as
the first cotton is ready the latter part
Of August or early in September.
The Mesa Egyptian Cotton exchange
announces that the gin will be a
farmers gin and as such will be abso-
lutely Independent, where everybody
will be permitted to buy.
