HUGE PLANT.
For the Manufacture Of Verified Brick
A New Industry.
A New Industry.


Mr.. F. Vernon Aler, of this city,
has for some two years had in his
hands very valuable tract of land ly-
ing near North Meuntain.in this coun-
ty and containing valuable shale suit
able for the manufacture of verified
brick paving blocks, drain pipe or any
other kind of clay products and had
several experts here examining into
the worth OF the material. For some
time past Mr.. j. NJ. Porter, large
brick manufacturer at Pittsburg, with
an expert with him who is connected
with his works and who stands at the
head as an expert in clays and shales
has been investigating and find tina
the materials is the finest to be found
in tine u. s. and in an inexhaust IDLE
quantity. Steps have been taken to-
ward tt e development of the shale
and we may expect sctive operation 8
before the summer is old. The first
meeting was held on last Monday in
this city and temporary organiza-
tien was made with the following in
corporators: j. M. Porter, S. l.. Dodd /,
J. w. Wolff, A. d. Darby, J. Frank
Thompson, 9. G. Cushwa, f. V. Aler,
H. Fl. Hess, aud John P. Kearfott.
Application has been made for char
ter and the next meeting will be held
on next Monday when the organiza-
tion will be completed.
The capital stock will be S15O,000
divided into shares of 500 each. At
the meeting the plane and specifica-
tions will be submitted for the plant
which it is proposed to erect.
The parties who are behind this
movement, we are informed are large
Iy interested IN the brick business in
the Ohio valley and claim that the adj
ditional freight they have paid in their
shipments to the city of Washington
during the past two years in excess of
what they will have to pay from this
point would nearly build their plant
here. The advantage this section has
over the western in superior material
and aces iDility to the eastern cities
where the paving brick find the best
market, are SO great asto be very
attractive to manufacturers. The ex-
pert remarked to the writer that there
was material enough at North Noun
tain to pave mile wide from Tue Al
lantic to the Pacific and actually the
best he had ever seen. The proposed
plant will be built and operated on the
land of H. l.. Drifting and Frank Rob-
bins and the company has also taken
an option on the 'shale land OF MI.
A Ter east of this city which it is pro-
posed to develop later.
