Many Modern Improvements in the Tzeliutsing District From Our Own Correspondent, Tzeliutsing, Sze., Nov. 18. a recent interview with one of the salt owners, he said that at present there are between 70 and 80 steam plants at work here. Allowing for delays for repairs, there will be 70 at work all the time. The first steam plants all used a vertical boiler, but now they are putting in a horizontal type, which, though more expensive, is more satisfactory. Companies will put up a plant all ready te operate for approximately $12,000. One of the big expenses is the wire cable and each well is about 2,500 ft. deep. The kind they are using wears out rapidly.
