CITY ROCK QDARRY. New Machinery Has Been Added and the Mines Are in Ac tive Operation. THE STREET IMPROVEMENT. Princess Will Soon be Micadtalzed From Fifth to Nistb. Which Bas Bees Im- proved as Far as Market-Much -General Repair Work. To the uninitiated in city affairs and to those who have not previously, by reason ot their municipal pride or curiosity, t visited "r the city rock quarry in operation near the city, it will be 1 well worth the while to make a visit to the plant now. ; For some time during the early part of the present administration, owing to the excessive rainfall and a combi nation of other reasons, it was impos sible to operate to advantage the city's extensive - mines there," but now, thanks . to. the addition of new ma chinery and;the1uloption of improv ed ideas, the plant was never oper a ted upon a more successful basis. A reporter yesterday had an oppor tunity to visit the plant, and . was im pressed with the activity going on in that branch of the city street d& partment In place of the small pump, which was found early in the year entirely Inadequate to keep the mine free of water, there has now been installed a mam moth pump of 60,000 gallons capacity per hour to take the place of 'the smaller one of 18,000 gallons. The smaller one is not, however, of no use, for it has been "rigged up" in the pumping station and is ready at a mo ment's notice to augment the, flow from the mines from the larger engine if it is so desired, or in the case the one breaks down, the other-is ready for use at a moment's notice. The larger pump has an eight Inch suction and a seven inch, discharge. Two hun dred and twenty-five feet of iron pipe of this capacity for the large pump was purchased with the machinery, which came as a great bargain through the knowledge of machinery on the part of Alderman Louis EL Skinner, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, who made the purchase from the Hanover Land and. Improvement Company, of Castle Haynes, for $250. The pump alone cost when new $750. A SO horse power boiler was also purchased at a very reasonable future by Alderman Skinner from the Powers & Gibbs Company to displace an 8 horse power boiler, too smallf or use. The boiler formerly used to generate steam for the derrick machine has also been discarded to save fuel and the steam for this machinery is now con ducted by . an undergrqund conduit from the rock . crusher boiler some 50 or 75 yards away. 'All the depart ments are now very busy and about 85 people are engaged at the mines. From 75 to 80 tons of the very best material for street Improvement are now being taken from the quarry and put on the thoroughfares of the city each day. This, too, at a cost per ton surprisingly low. . Mayor WaddelL as chairman, the other members of the Streets and Wharves Committee and Superintendent J. M. Woolard are to be congratulated upon the progress now in evidence in this important branch of the city government The pump at the quarry is run both night' and day to keep the quarry clear. Engineer Tom Ban is in charge dur ing the day and Engineer W. W. 81 lers is on duty at night; Mr. Irwin Blaekmon .has charge of the derrick machinery and Mr. Joe 8chrader is in charge at the crusher, and all are run ning on full capacity. Twelve carts are kept as busy as Dees in hnntrmv - the material, to the city and- just now a vast deal of street making and repairing is In pro gress. Superintendent Woolard now has About comnleted Ninth between Msrket and Princess streets and Prin cess street has been permanently im proved on one side as far as Fifth and on the other side as far as , Seventn. The macadam is not being brought to th Fiver further than Fifth as the property owners on Princess between Fourth and Fifth are making an active effort to have the brick pavement ex tended that far. It seems very prob able that this will be done. At the quarry which is the centre of all activity in the street department now. Mr. M. Y. 'Johnson - is superin tendent in charge. Rev. D. P.

' A joint special committee from three of the four Knights of Pythias lodges of the city yesterday made announce ment of the perfection of its - plans to occupy the entire third floor of. the new Murchison National Bank build ing now in process of construction on the northeast corner of Front and Chesnuf streets, a lease of the hall for ten years having been completed. , The announcement will be received with interest and great pleasure by the four hundred and more Knights of the city who have long Cherished the hope that some day they might have for a home, commodious quarters designed and constructed especially for them. Such a dream -will be realized when early in 1902 Stonewall, Clarendon and Jefferson lodges will break camp in the MacBae building and move into elegant apartments in the Murchison building, designed and executed by a Pythian for Pythians and excelled in beauty and convenience by no ..other K. of P. lodge in the South. The building in its entirety will be an imposing structure of pressed brick and granite, and will cost ap proximately $30,000. The first floor will be occupied by the large banking interests of the Murchison National Bank; the second floor will be con verted into up-to-date office apart ments, and the third will be the home of all loyal knights," whether visiting or local. The entrance to the upper floors will be from . the Chesnut street side, the building will be comfortably heated by steam and the lighting will be from gas and electric fittings. On the third floor the entire space will be taken up with the lodge room proper, bat and cloak room, prop erty room, reading or reception room, and all other necessary ap pointments to make the "home" cozy and hospitable for the most exacting knights. The reading and reception room will be 23x25 feet in size and the lodge room itseii will be 4uX6Z tees in dimensions. The interior fin ishings will be unique and du rable, the color scheme being in K. of P. col6rs. There will be nineteen windows extending around the hall and the ventillation will be well nigh perfect Contractor W. E.- Glenn, of Char lotte, who will have charge of the con struction, is himself a Pythian and knows just how each detail of a lodge room should be arranged. Mr. J. D.
