DECEMBER 1. 1894. irmt of tka Ftoaaaeh Hawttzan at Kock The first 6-inch calibre howitzer siejregon carriage built at the Kock Island arsenal has been mounted. It is complete, every part fitting like a glove. The carriage stands six ' feet high to the center of the gnn axle. The weight of the carriage is 1.850 pounds, while the gun itself weighs 8.650 pounds. The length of the rifle bore is 12 feet, and the breech weighs 200 pounds. The gun will carry the heavy projectile, five inches in diameter, a distance of 16 miles, and is calculated to do a vast amount of destruction. : Twratj mt Tbrin. There are 20 of these carriages be ing built at the arsenal. Besides the one described, there are six others finished and already to test. The manufacture of these carriages is something new for this arsenal, and will give an idea of the possibilities of the fntnre. By proper work and influence the Rock Island arsenal might be brought up to such a con dition of activity as to employ a couple of thousand men to good ad vantage and at steady work. Few of our citizens, as the Moline Dispatch observes, appear to realize what an extensive plant might be made here if once they joined forces and worked harmoniously and earnestly to that end. .
