New A|I-SteeI
Mill To Be Built
At Libby Mine

P. E. Oscarson, local manager of the
Universal Insulation company, arrived
in the city the first of the week from
Chicago, where he had spent most of
the winter, and reports that work will
be started at once on a new mill on
the company's vermiculite property
north and east of the city.
The new mill will be located higher
on the mountain side, adjacent to the
mine. This will do away with the tram
ing of the product to the mill, which
has been necessary heretofore. The mill
will have a capacity of rs tons of
cleaned and graded verniculite per
day. 1t will be OF all steel construction
says Mr. Oscarson, and considerably
larger than the present plant.
An engineer by the name Of Nc

ton Of the new mill and installation of
new machinery, which is already en-
route to Libby, states Oscarson.
