Waterfront Facilities . Tacoma is to have tho largest powder manufacturing plant in tho United States. lb is to bo built by the Du pont Powdcn company nt the mouth of tho Nlsqually river. Active construc tion work on tho plant will begin the early part of July. It is estimated that about 200 men will bo employed in the work. For two weeks itwo surveying crews have, been engniged in making a topographical survey of tho company's property, comprising nboitt 3000 acres. About ona month will bo required for them to complete this work, nfter which tho construction will bo imme diately .taken up. On this sito tho Dupont company will establish its largest plant. The deed' to 2700 acres of tho land and for tho 14S5 feet of waterfront property on which tho company will construct its wharves waa fildl for record yesterday. A tract of land containing 292 acres more, has been purchneod fooni Moody, Call & Qrier. The deed' is at present in Chi cago and will probably not bo filed in Tacoma for several days. Tho purchase prico of tho latter tract was $30 per acre. It lies ,at tho mouth of Sequnllt chow cneek, on tho upper sido and abut ting on tho waterfront. It adjoins the 2700 acres purchased: by tho Dupont company from Holden &. Hugging. Fino Waterfront Facilities. . Tho -deal for tho waterfront tract was closed during tho past week with tho Seattle Sand & Gravel company, and, with tha.piiicha.se ypstcrdny of lot 4, section 22-19-1, giving a frontngo of 14So feet, the final obstacles in tho way of construction- work on the plant were removed, Tha company now has one Of tho finest harbor sites on tho l'n. clfic coast. Tho construction work on the wharves will probably bo somo of tho first work taken up. Ono of the rep resentatives of tho company recently stated to tha Litlgcr that tho company is more than pleased with tho harbor sito and that everything now was just as dvsired. At low (tide there will bo 35 feet of water at tho company's docks. Tho wharves will extend only a short distance from tho shore, and Ukj water is so deep that pilings of exra length will bo required in tho con struction. Tho buildSiVgs which will comprise tho big plant will bo constructed for tho most part of concrete, although iron and wood will bo used' to somo extent. Xonlj of tho workmen will bo employed by tho company will llvo on tho 3000 acres. Surveyors at Work. Engineer B. W. C.

It Is not thcyintention of the company to erect houses for the employes on the prop crtyv'purchascd: for the plant, or, ruth- er, lulQoinmg it. The company expects. to' have railway connections with Ta coma nun their ejnploycs will reside in the city. WhD the establisluncnt of 'the plant will, not mean so much for 'adjoining prone y it will mean "nre"ineroae of several hundred in the population of tho city and nlso the addition of great industrial prestige, which the location in Tacoma of tho largest powtVr ptant in the United Stnte would naturally mean. The Dupont company has over forty powden plants in operation nt tho prcs wtptlmo in tho Unftcvl States.

Cnufflel hns been con nected with tho company in, his pres ent capacity for a number of year Hi sajs that ho knows all about the property purchased, but Is at liberty to give no information regarding tho company's plans. Ho would neither confirm nor deny -the information thnt lias been secured by tho Ledger from an authoritative source regarding tho company's plant for construction work. Tho total consideration named In the dcedn which were filed ycstenlny for record Is $78,032.50.
