Show WORKING FOR A CEMENT PLANT Pat Ryan, Jr., who has spui". some time of late in this locality superyisihgtthe assessment, work on the 'gypsurn claims owned by himself and father, and which has been performed under contract con-tract by Mr. James Younger, reports re-ports that the Senior Ryan is now in the East for the purpose of obtaining capital for the establishment of a cement factory fact-ory here, and that according to the latest word received, the outlook is very encouraging. In the danyons east of Cedar are mountains of gypsum, lime and shale, affording all the in gredients for the manufacture of Portland cement, with coal for the furnaces at the very place where it is needed for u&e. It .would be hardto conceive of a better or more promising combination. com-bination. And with the heavy demand throuhghnut Nevada and California, with a saving of two or three hundred miles on the railroadlhaul to these points, the wonder seems to be that capitalists capital-ists have not invested in. this project long ago. A moderate sized plant would find a ready market for its output in Iron, and adjoining counties. Mr. Baker, the mechanic who was employed oh Lafo McCon-nell's McCon-nell's new residence last season, k also at, work on a project of this kind, having the matter undeV consideration by Los Angeles capitalists, so that it looks probable that something tangible will shortly develop from one source or the other. Unless one of these parties get to work on the project soon, Iron county people ought to take the matter up themselvei, incor. porate a company and put in a plant of their own. There is money in it for someone. |
