BRICK WITHOUT WATER.
Cheyenne's Trip Hammer Yards
Will Begin in Three Weeks.
The Plant Will be Located at Clay
Banks on Crow Creek.
A Home Company With a Capital
Stock of $50 900.

The first new Cheyenne enterprise to
get under way will be the trip hammer
brick factory. Yards on Crow creek, be-
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth will be
in operation in about three weeks.
A home company is being organized
A meeting was held at the Office of KEEL
ley & Parshall last evening, when it
was decided to incorporate at once with a
capital of $4,000. Articles will be
signed this afternoon and the certificate
filed il \ day or two.
This plant is TO employ fifty men. Its
capacity will be go, 900 brick a week and
equipment two OF the Andrews machines.
Each hammer makes two bricks at a
time, striking five blows. The hammer
weight is ! 200 pounds. Power will be a
fortv- horse power engine.
Clay for trip hammer brick must be
kept dry. 1t is claimed by the machine
manufacturers that any clay that can be
plouRhed or thrown down in falls can be
conveyed at once to the pulgerizer, and
NhN Nv lhooSo bhiOhhh NhS hOppSA ihhO q
charger which passes over fixed
moluds; the clay is then ~compacted
nto bricks by repeated blows of the ham
mer; a steel knife on the charger then
trims off the bricks and returns all sur
plus clay to tie hopper; the bricks are
then discharged from the moulds and the
operation repeated automatically. 1t is
further said that the bricks come out
tough, accurately formed. all of same
thickness with fine edges and corners and
one side rough. They can be set IN the
kin Immediately and burned at once" 1t
is agreed by experts that the bricks made
of Cheyenne clay and shown here are all
that was claimed for them. 9'hey are
tough and dense.
1t was learned that in all probability
Cheyenne trip hammer brick will be used
in the new shops if the samples now in
the hands Of Engineer Butler stand the
test. In this event the yards will be op-
Grated at their full capacity during the
entire season.

An Important Question for Consid-

A Separate High School and Change
on the South Side.
Statement of the Financial Condi-
ton of the District.

All members in the city attended a
meeting of the trustees of school district
No. !, last evening. The most important
business transacted was the adoption of
the following:
Resolued, That this board submit to the
electors of the district the question
whether the board of trustees of the dis
trict shall be authorized to issue the
coupon bonds of the district to the
amount of $35, 600, said bonds to bear in
terest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum
and to be payable fifteen years after
the date thereof. for the purpose of
building one or more school houses In the
district and proyiding the same with
necessary furniture; said question to be
submitted to the said electors and voted
on by them at the annual meeting of the
district, to be held Monday May 5, 1890.
USES FOR THE MONEY,
The utmost capacity of the Central
school building has been reached and it is
the plan of the board to build a high
school. Glasses in thus department are
growing rapidly and would occupy quite
a large building. The Central school
could be used for the grammar and other
grades and there would be no vacant
rooms. Location of the high school will
be quite difficult. The district owns three
quarters of a block at Pebrican and
Twentieth. but this has been held in re-
serve with a view to its occupancy by an
East End school, an institution that time
will in all likelihood demand.
1t Is believed by the board that aband-
onment of the south side school will be
forced by shop encroachment, as the
grounds already appropriated and granted
reach within a few feet of the school
fence. The trustees have contracted for
a block between Seventh and Eighth, on
the east side Of Warren avenue for a
South side school and the electors will
ratify or refuse to agree to the purchase
Monday and will be requested to authorize
saleof the present school 10 that section
of town.
