j PULP WORKS AT ELKTON.

f I Ml 1C pul]) works of tile Ken-; 5 j more Pulp and Paper Com-

pany, at Elkton, have re-,.. j su, ued operation this week, after

| S i |being extensively remodeled, the

¦¦ I uork requiring five months. Theft. various departments of the mill are

i ow being started in their order,

¦ ‘‘ .f---a next, the entire

t pj ant yesterday morning. Front roofto cellar the mill has undergone

quite a transformation ; old machinery has given place to that of modern and most approved type, sothat the mill at IfIkton to-day is one of the most complete for the manufacture of pulp in the country.'l'he past lew months have, indeed, been busy clays for Manager McChesney, who is highly grati-fied at the successful manner in which the mill is now being operated. In speaking of the improve-ments made at the mill, Mr. McChesney said: "The Kenmore Company has expended a large amount ofmoney in this work to enable them to manufacture a good, clean marketable pulp, and we now thinkit ranks Ai on the market. There is not a more complete plant for the manufacture of pulp frompoplar wood anywhere than is now in Klkton. Our output will be 40,000 pounds per day, and thecompany will push the mill to its greatest capacity to supply our foreign as well as domestic trade.\\ e have made several radical changes in the process of manufacturing pulp from poplar wood; oneof the most important being the cooking process by four new welded steel digesters made by theI’usey & Jones Company of Wilmington, Del. Kach digester holds three and one-half cords of wood,and each will be subjected to a steam pressure of 125 pounds.

The bleaching and washing process is on an entirely new plan, the tanks having an agitator orrevolving wheel which thoroughly stirs up the stock. A new sprinkler system has been put in by H,A. Miller, of Wilmington, as a safe-guard against fire. The machinery all over the mill has beensupplied with new belting. The company has a very large amount of poplar wood on hand now,the present supply being sufficient to keep the mill in operation until July. About 125 hands willbeemployed. A new pumping system has been installed to carry water from the river through filters tothe condenser, for the purpose of cooling the liquor. The supply of clean water comes from largewells sunk on the Holly Hall properly across the river. The mill at Klkton is known as the RaduoreMill, being one of the system operated by the Jessup & Moore Company, under the name of the Ken-more Paper Company. The firm operates four paper mills, one of the mills being the ProvidencePaper Millnear Klkton. Both of these enterprises here are being operated most successfully, andit is expected that there will be other developments made by the linn, which willfurther advance theimportance of Klkton as a manufacturing center.
