riSCUSSlKG IRON PLANT,
Governor Says No Definite Proposition
Has Been Made,
Ait.-lin Tex (iov. Campbell was
asked what progress had been made
11 the negotiations for the lease of the
iron furnace at Husk, as sought by
.1 oh 11 I. Worthani and associates, and
n plled that It has been discussed only
tentatively ; that no bona fide offer had
bei 1 made, but the matter only gener-
ally discussed The governor admit-
t(d that Mr Wortham - idea wio- to
base between lluo and 400 convicts
with the plant This, it is understood.
Is the stumbling block, us the gover
nor is opposed to lout llg the convicts.
It is generally understood that the to*
ornor Is going lo try and have the iron
industry resumed at Kusk on some
1 plan or other, possibly on shares, with
the State retaining full control of the
convicts and having charge of their
labor and care. The Idea is to have
some one or associates finance the iron
plant and make if a going concern, the
State to reiolve certain guarantee-, for
its plant, ore and convict labor, but
having control of the men Whether
tills will suit Mr Warbani anil his a--
soolates, since they tan not lease the
men outright, is not known Further
negot in'tons, will occur on tin- last ex
