A complete out fit of grinding, sifting and mixing ma chinery has been installed, but the demand for the product already indi cates that the plant will have to be duplicated. The factory is being oper ated on material shipped from the si enna deposits discovered a year or two „ ago south of Eugene, in Lane county. As the deposits cover an area of 62 acres to a depth of 50 feet, there is plenty of material to supply the factory for a number of years. Tests have proved that the Lane county depoeits are of as high grade as the Italian sienUA and it has been demonstrated that the Oregon material can be placed upon the market in com petition with the imported article.
