jWOODNUBIME
PLANT ISIM
OPERATION u
■ — i
Satisfactory Test was Made aVth#
New Plant Yesterday and it
Begin Operation on Full Time on
Monday Morning.
The wood turpentine plant of the
Flowers Distilling and Manufactur
ing Company, at the corner of Bay
street and Third avenue, began op
-erctUofl yesterday and ft promises to,
be one of the most important indus
tries in the city.
This is anew- venture for Bruns
v.i.k, and as a matter of fact it is
,he first plant of the hind to lto es
tablished in the United States. The
plant, with all equipment, involves an
expenditure of a out SIO,OOO and
among those interested in it are some
of the leading business men of the
city, who are sooa to form a stock
company.
Some idea of the size of the plant
may be arrived at with the state
meat that it consumes about 12 cords
of wood per day and each cord yields
from fifteen to twenty-five gallons
of finished turpentine, besides sup
plying a considerable quantity of by
products, such as rosin and pine oil.
After the woo l is thus processed, and
after after all extractions have been
made it. is still used for fuel put
poses.
The trial day oT the -plant war
yesterday and In spite of green brick
and slow heating the operations oi
the day were more than satisfactory
and the management hope* to have
-the plant running under full time on
Monday.
The now industry will employ a
number of men and is among the class
of new industries Brunswick badly
needs—fa; lories.
The News wisher, the new concern
an abundance of success.

New York, March 15. —'l'he stock

American Smelting, gained 13

picked up to ti p qxtftt of 9 points.
