The Deposits OF fNaoiin.

A LARGE AND VALUABLE BED OF FIRE BRICK OLA,
IN NEW GARDEN.
In the COMMERCIAL OF June 19sh We reported
tho discovery of new and valuable deposit OF
Kaolin on the property of the American Kaolin
Company, in Now Garden township, near South
wood station on the W. " W. Railroad We now
learn that the bricks made from it prove very
superior for use in ron-works, having the
fire proof quality In high degree, and they
have giyenthe best satisfaction and stood the
highest tests OF heat, in this city, and also at
Coatesvile and Chester.
Pie newly discovered bed OF kaolin is at pre-
rent worked beneath soil of from twelve to
fourteen feet in depth. 1t is pure white clay,
perfectly free from all spar and other foreign
substances, with depth OF over fifty feet. To
what distance the deposit extends is at present
unknown, but suf1ic ent is developed to supply
the Company with Il fine fire clay for several
years giving them great advantage in the
mtnufacure of fire brick. The least foreign
substance destroys the fire-proof qualities, and
often the best manufacturers of them are de-
ceiyed in their own work. The increasing de.
mand for fire brick has required the employ
ment OF an additional number OF hands and tile
Company contemplate improving and enlsrgng
their manufacturing capacity.
