Nor does the mere mention of brick max
ing suggest. to the uninitiatcd. a very
interesting subject. Yet the manufac-
ture of the little rectangular object
forms no small portion of the gigantic
business of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company. To thoroughly appreciate
how important a position the industry
occupies. a consideration of the various
processes of manufacture is necessary
hen the subject becomes interesting.
and the brick is lifted from It's lowly
place and elevated TO one OF Industrial
prominence.
The b~rick-making plant of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company is as
complete in detail and machinery as
large capital can make IL. and in the
operation of IL the most skilled labor
is employed.
Phenomenal erection Of large and
costly buildings throughout all the
country contiguous to Anaconda during
the past two years has created a de-
mand for high grade presstd brick. To
meet this demand the company has in
stalled a semi-dry pressed brick ma
chint with a capacity of ten thousand

For the manufacture of common

each a pressure Of $1,000 pounds. In
the process of burning the brick. two
beehive down-draft kilns are en-
ployed. as well as a new clamp up

A STATE LEAGUE
Writer In the sporting Life Says a Meeting
Has Becn Called for Jan. al M~issouia.

I'm the current number of the Sport
ing Life appears a brief article con
corning a state baseball. league In Mon
tana next year. The article IL dated at
Helena and Is as follows:
Editor Sporting Life: A meeting OF
the Montana state league will be held
at Missoula on Jan. 10 to organize for
the coming season. The cities which
Will he represented are Helena. Missou-
la. Anaconda. Butte, Philipsburg. BOze-
man. Great Falls and Marysville. from
which a six-club circuit. With an 500 or
$1,000 salary limit. will be formed. Bust
ness is booming I'm Montana. and the
prospects for a successful baseball sea-
son for 1893 are exceedingly bright. The
revival Of interest in the national game
In this state brings back memories Of
the season OF 1892. when such stars as
Tony Mullane. Old Hoss' Twinetham.
Jud Smith and others Of that caliber
played out here. Money Is plentiful in
Montana. and IL IL not tied up. Mis-
sOula is enjoying a big boom on account
of many interests being centered there"
Up 10 the present time no informa-
ton has come from any Of the cities
mentioned in the article quoted. So
far as Is known. rome of the local base
ball enthusiasts have received n in
timation OF the state league proposition.
II. however. IL Is really the plan To
push the matter q organizing a state
league. ana lI tine meeting mas really

this city will doubtless be represented
by prominent baseball men. Anaconda
is foremost i'm baseball. For three or
four years she has had the best ball
team in the state. In 1897 her club won
10 out of 20 games played. the one lost
being To Missoula. This year her team
has not Jared quite So well. but still
has won a large majority Of the games.
Had IL not been for the foolish conclu-
sion to send half a team over TO Helena
for the last series. Anaconda would
have been head and shoulders over
anything in the state.
Therefore. n the Helena correspond
ent 81 the Sporting Life has authority
for his announcement Of a meeting TO
be reid in Misscula ON the 10Th Of jan
uary. Anaconda will be represented
there. that is. II she H. invited to par
ticipate in the meeting. The fact that
the nrst intinatiOn OF such a meeting
Genes through a newspaper published
In the East is rather strange. i'm view
Of the fact that nothing has been heard
Of the proposed meeting here. How
ever. its announce ent may have been
overlooked. and the local baseball en-
thusiasts viii be as energetic in for
warding the proposition OF a state
league as anybody.

Progress.

II is only within recent years that
Anaconda has grown from an aggrega-
ton Of squatty. inartistic buildings to
a city Of architectural beauty and sub
~stantiality. rivaling many OF the larger
cities of the West. This Transformation
Is due largely TO the permanent lOca-
tion in this city Of a number of archl-
tects OF true merit in their profession.
Foremost among them Is Mr.. III. A.

furnished plans and specifications for

WILL Be A HOT GAME
High School Team Will Meet the
Butte Reliance Club.
REDEEM THEMSELVES
The Butte Boys Have q Victory to Their
Credit. but the Local Players Will
Even Things Up To-Day.
The Lineup.

There will be a red-hot game Of foot
ball to-day. The contest will be be-
tween the Anaconda High school team
and the club of the Butte Reliance Ath-
letic club of Butte. The game will be
for the ~bloodiest kind of blood. 1t will
take place at 2:3O o'clock at the Ath-
letic field.
The High school boys and the Re
lance team met on the gridiron two
weeks ago to-day. The game was
played in Butte. 1t resulted i'm a vic
tory for the Reliance athletes by "A
score of 6 to 0. The Butte boys man
aged to get a touchdown and kicked a
goal. The High school players say
their defeat at Butte vas the hardest
kind Of hard luck. They say they a
the ball within two feet of the Re-
lance goal posts when one of the local
players made a tumble, and thereby
lost the game. After the tumble the
courage was taken out of the High
school men. and they could not over
come the advantage their opponents
had gained.
At any rate. the fact that the score
was 6 to 0 is evidence in itself hat the
two teams are pretty evenly matched
and that the advantage lies neither on
one side nor the other. The High
schools have put in their a time in
the most diligent practice, N they are
sure that no more games Will be lost
through any such cumbersome FUN
bles as lost the game in Butte. In fact
ever ince the game in the Smoky city
the High school boys have worked as
hard as any trooper could possibly work
IN order that they might get them
selves in condition for to-day's game.
They believe that they have not put
in their time for nothing. They are
confident that victory will perch upon
their banner this day, n that they
will even up the score with the Re-
lance boys.
The local management has arranged
for ample street car service to the
grounds to-day and everything Will be
in readiness to begin at $50 promptly.
: The following is the lineup of the
two ueams as given by the High school
teams captain. There may be some
changes in the lineup of the Butte
team but in the main il will be as Civ
