The Dispatch man paid a visit to the Provo Woolen Mills to-day, and was steered through the din and bustle of the weaving rooms, and given an insight into the contemplated improvements. im-provements. The first thing that greeted the eyes was a confusion of machinery which, on being examined, proved to bo tbe new looms, twelve in number, which Supt.

The new looms are to be situated on the north side of the first floor, while the small ones now occupying that side of the weaving room are to be removed, as they will not be needed any longer. The looms are the Crompton broad looms, and were built at Wordiest er, Mass. They are three times larger than ; the small ones heretofor used, and are three feet longer tha any of the looms now in operation, I -ing nearly twice as wide. On the es ; end another room, 80x40 feet, will b -added to accommodate the machinery, which will be built of brick, and wi'.. probably be used as a carding room. The work turned out at the mills now is improving in quality, that of the carding and spinning being especially especi-ally fine, while the weaving department, depart-ment, with the new colors and new-styles, new-styles, that have been introduced, are turning out work equal if not svperior to the California goods.
