Il II pleasant to hear Of people who
have such pluck and such confidence in
their town a. to build it the third
time twice within q twelvemonth-after
enoountsrinQ such disasters as those the
people Of Coifax have recently sustained.
Looking at It in this way. we take pleas
urs In Publishing the items following,

build this fall were it mot for the scare
ity Of material.
When the subject Of rebuilding the
town with brick was discussed, fears
were entertained that 7 sufficient supply
II brick could not be had. Upon in-
QuiYy into the matter We find that Mr..
Becker and q large force are actively
Engaged at the brick yard, and Mr..
Blocker says that after next week he
proposes turning out 100000 brick per
week. He will take no more contracts
Tor building, but will devote his entire
lime to the yard. A number of brick
ayers have been sent for aud active
work will soon commence.
