The Bandon arrived in jx^rt Mon­
day morning with seven cars of
machinery for the Cody mill which
is now being installed as rapidly
as possible. 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.
