SPECIMEN BRIck-0n Tuesday we were
shown handsome specimen brick from
Mr.. S. L. Hunts first kiln at Irondale.
Mr.. James AcCarty, a competent young
bricklayer, is interested in these brick and
teels justly proud OF the result attained.
The clay, he says, Is the very best quality,
and we should judge from the looks OF the
article produced that lt would compete
successfully with any manufactured else
where.
LARGE PIr.-Mr. J. N. Griffith, boss
coal burner st Irondale, called on ns yes
terdaY, on business, and mentioned incl
dentahy that lie had just put up a mon-
ster pit containing 245 cords of wood
This, we believe, is the largest pit of the
kind ever put up in the territory or Ore
gOn. Mr.. G. says the yield of coal is just
as large in proportion as in small pits, and
that much labor is saved by burning large
ones.
Mr.. +. w. James. who adVertises his
business in to-day's ARGUS, is thorough
~ reliable merchant In every respect.
Having successfully conducted a thriving
Trade In our midst for many years, he
needs no superfiuous putting to commend
him to all who have anything to do in his
line. As an exchanger OF money v4lues
In various forms OF securities, he will be
iound careful and competent enough to
suit any bankers taste. Parties at dis
tance can deal with him with perfect as
suranee Of honorable dealing.
