A Yltrified Brick Plant for Wellington.

A meeting of the directors OF the
Commercial Club was held at the
office of Roam s. NewbOld Friday
afternoon to discuss the matter OF
interesting capitalists 10 the shale
deposits tying along Slate creek south
and west OF Wellington. Nothing
was done except 10 talk the matter
over. Samples Of the shale will be
sent away for analysis. Another
meeting Of the club will be held at
some time 10 the future to outline a
plan for developing the ytrifed brick
industry in Wellington.
There seems to be no question about
the character Of this shale, and that
! it is as fine material for vitrifed brick
as can be found anywhere, The at
tentiOn Of the Commercial Club was
called to the deposit by Tom Richard
son son. who had talked with an expert
! VII 10 examined tue shale md prQaQDn-
ced it as fine as any he had ever seen.
W, R. Spicknall was present at the
meeting, and gave it as his opinion
that the shale was 6rst-ClaSs material
for yitrfed brick. He recalled that
a good many years ago when he was
operating his mud brick plant on
Slate creek he put some Of the shale
in with the mud. The result was
that it made rough brick for which
there was no sale. These brick were
piled by themselves and stood for six
years in the hot and cold weather
without wear or injury. He knew
nothing of the value OF shale then,
and is certain now that the shale is
the kind used in manufacturing vitri-
ned orlcK, and is OF good quality.
A representative Of the American
Clay Working Machinery Co. OF Blu.
cyrus, o., whose knowledge of shale
cannot be questioned, pronounced the
deposits as fine as any he had ever
seen.
The deposits lie south and west OF
Wellington on the south side OF Slate
creek, close to the surface. In many
places the shale crops out, notably on
the hills southwest Of Wellington
where the Rock Island and Santa Fe
railroads turn south. The supply is
practically inexhaustible, and If prop
erly worked will make fortunes for
those who take hold oft.
The vitrifed brick manufacturing
industry is one OF the growing indus
tries of Kansas, and is practically in
its infancy. There are plants at
COffeyville, Humboldt, AtcnisOn and
other eastern Kansas towns that were
started in the last few years and are
how known all over the west. The
value an industry of this kind would
prove to Wellington is very great.
AD idea of its importance may be
gained from considering the amount
Of money necessary for the property
owners of Wellington to comply with
the recent sidewalk ordinance requir-
ing forty-three blocks OF vitrifed
brick walk to be built. The brick
alone will cost the sum total Of $1,000.
A plant capable Of turning out $4,000
brick day could be erected and
anninned for S05 000
