An American Brickmaker.
Referring to the building up of khar-
tuln, many OF the new structures are
to be furnished with brick by nun
from Chicago. This man came to Port
Sudan some months ago, intending to
| start a brick factory there and supply
building material for the new port now
going up at the end OF the Nile and
the Red Sea Railway. While he was
waiting for his brick-making machine

He has bought native brickyard and
pending the arrival of his machine is
now making bricks by hand with ma
| tive labor. He started only month or
| so ago, and he tells me he has already
CONTRACTS for more than five million
bricks. He is employing several huns
dred sudanese men and women at 6 or
30 cents day, but he says that their
labor is SO poor and unreliable That the
work of six OF his natives will not
| equal that of one good American.
