Quite a large atnoun of machinery including the big bind milll, the dynamo and other things had already arrived on a former trip ot the Fifield and there are two carlords yet to come. These may be somewhat delated as they were just behind the big railroad washout that occurred last wee k and it may be a iew days before the road is sufficiently repaired for heavy traffic, but in ail probability they will be here in plenty of time as it will take some little time to install the machinery that is already on hand. Now that the machinery is about all here there will probably be no more delays in the work of con- structing the mill and everything will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible, so that tin mill will be ready lor operation in about sixty days.
