TO TEST shALE FOR BRICK

Contractor Schelde of Litchield,
Minn., gathered samples of slate and
shale Monday from point about a
mile north Of the city, and sent them
to Minnesota to be tested, with the
object of determining whether first
class quality of hard building brick
cannot be made from the clay. which
would result from crushing the shale.
In case the experiment proves as sat-
isfactory as expected by Mr.. Schelde,
it is very probable that a brick yard
will be started here for the manufac-
ture of brick from shale of which
there are immense deposits in the
James River Valley at this point.
With the growing scarcity of good
building lumber, contractors see the
necessity of using more brick in the
construction Of residences, and this
in the immediate future. Jamestown
is well located for a large brick yard
which is needed to supply the de-
mand not only here but in many 9th
er localities tributary. About all
building brick used is now manufac-
tured elsewhere than In North Dako-
ia and yet no superior clays exist in
the northwest for the manufacture
of durable and handsome brick.
