VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

Conversion into Cheap Build

Samples of a new building material,

@. Monier are on exhibition at the Second
National bank to-day, and have attracted
visited Paris recently he found huge
structures, five and tix stories high, built
of a sort of u concrete mixture, the basis
of which is volcanic sand. Being familiar
With similar deposits near Santa Fe, all
idea struck HIM and he at once sought
out, through some influential Partisan
friends, the manufacturers OF this ma
teria, and they spared no pains to let him
into all the secrets of their process,
knowing that any similar mandatory
established in western America could
not i'll the least interfere with
their success. Mr.. Monier spent much
time familiarizing himself with the details
OF the French methods of manufacture,
and upon returning home he Immediately
set about experimenting with the volcanic
sands which exist in such vast quantities
near this city. AS result he displays
to-day specimens of his manufacture
Which Seem to bear out every claim made
Tor them AS Il building material. -Four
ingredients are used in its manufacture,
though volcanic sand, lime and water are
all that the public need to know Of the
secret exists III the fourth ingredient and
in the proportion of materials used to pro-
duce the required result. The stuff il
one-half lighter than stone, is turner
out III moulds, requires no burning
and can be manufactured as c.,eaply rs
brick, Which at the present time are selling
here at "a a thousand. 1t is claimed for
1t that it is more durable than sandstone
and that the action of the weather has no
effect upon it, In appearance it is OF
chalky white nottt like granite. 1t can
also be made into hollow brick or laid st #
III the walls between the moulds and left
10 dry, like concrete, when it becomes as
solid as q stone wall.
Mr.. Monier has applied for letters
patent on his invention and already has
his plans nearly perfected for beginning
It's manufacture here Oh large scale. The
land from which the volcanic sands have
come for manufacturing these specimen
blocks belong to Mr.. Lehman Splegelberg,
and is distant about fifteen miles from
Santa re and near the railroad.
