So I did the best I could under the
circumstances. I squared up against

which has q capacity of $1,000 pressed brick
per hour, and the Stedman puiverizer, the
whole operated by a twenty horse power
engine. They have now in kiln 125,OO0 of
the finest brick ever seen in Montana. The
color is beautiful red and they are pro-
nounced by experts superior to any ever I'M
ported into the state. A new kiln is now
being built which will contain go 600 brick.
The pressed brick are the only kind now
used in the east and are as perfect in shape
as it is possible to make them. Three diff
ferent kinds of clay are used in the manu-
facture of these brick. The best clay is
brought from near Mullan, consisting of two
different kinds, which is mixed with third
obtained from large lead near Helena av-
ide of iron to give the brick the beautiful
red color which they contain. The manu-.
factory is located at the Northern Pacific
